Malaysia will always fight cause they said that the water is sold is too cheap for Singapore, and Singapore will always fight back cause it's within the agreement and they sell back the treated water to Malaysia in a cheaper price.
I believe if Malaysia insist to renegotiate, Singapore would love it, cause they can also increase the price of treated water, then I guess that Malaysia will threaten to stop water supply to Singapore.
As for now, Singapore might still need the water from Malaysia, and if you are in Singapore you will know, Singapore aim to be self water reliance by the date of the contract ends. This is because Lee Kuan Yew has projected Malaysia will threaten Singapore with water agreement again sooner or later.
Personally i think it's a political gimmick by Tun M, he's been there in the beginning and now suddenly raise up this issue, even other ministers just diam diam. It's not so easy to recontract the things, and he knows it. Just making some headlines to stir up some public perceptions. Anyway I would love to see how this issue proceeds, cause it's a new govt after all, dealing with Singapore govt. Looking at this video, you can see that how Singapore govt works, with facts and figures... you can say they are hiding something, but you can't deny that what they said is true.

QUOTE(p1ulua3 @ Mar 4 2019, 10:55 AM) Can you imagine this issue goes to the courts? Will the judge take into account SG's subsidized water sale to Johor? Think answer is obviously YES. What I find most disgusting is that the Malaysian public had been deliberately misled and misinformed by both Dr M and the media. The link below shows the full facts which Malaysia (including our new PH govt) did not dispute since the 1990s. https://www1.mfa.gov.sg/SINGAPORES-FOREIGN-...ater-AgreementsTo be honest, I do not think Malaysia will bring this to court, if they know what they are doing. Same goes to the high speed rail, they keep 'tekan' Singapore saying they will cancel and etc. but in the end, they choose to postponed and paid Singapore compensation. Singapore is a kiasu country, they will make sure that they will have every ammo they have if they want to fight. Not easy to cheat them. Politic can be disgusting and ugly... to be honest this PH govt is not doing very well at the time being... especially those important issues. and keep blaming the previous govt and 1MDB. anyway, there's a time limit for them 5 years, we will see. |

QUOTE(prophetjul @ Mar 4 2019, 11:34 AM) SG is already self reliant as far as treated water is concerned. Except of course, its more expensive to treated using RO technologies. AFAIK they have already in place treatement capacities which are more than demand in place. Howevre, due to water security, in early 2000, they have already planned to have capacities of 2 TIMES the demand.  i think it's the desalination plants.. yea it's quite pricey.. haha.. |

QUOTE(Mai189 @ Mar 4 2019, 11:25 AM) I do hope malaysia brings this to icj or whatever. Just to proof Tun wrong. Im appreciative of truths but not outright lies..that is deceiving the rakyat and morally wrong. For info, Sg will not lose as it is complying with the international agreement. Malaysia, on the other hand, wants a change to a signed agreement. There is no way hahaha.. if they bring.. then the AG will have a very very hard time.. lol.. |
