Mr #LeeKuanYew: “if PAS comes into power…and tries to meddle with the water in Johor Bahru, I’ll move my troops in. I will not wait for the Security Council to solve this little problem”
----------
Mr Lee’s words above were quoted by former MFA Permanent Secretary Bilahari Kausikan, in a speech he made in Cambridge, recently.

Bilahari points out the harsh realities of our foreign policy and Singapore’s vulnerable position in the region. He paid tribute to our founding leaders Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee and S Rajaratnam whose steady hands helped navigate us through some turbulent and dangerous times in the early years.

For small nations, in Bilahari’s words, foreign policy is usually about a series of “not always neat or consistent improvisations to a messy and unpredictable reality’’.

Diplomacy is not all about being pleasant or making oneself agreeable. It’s about defending and advancing Singapore’s interests, preferably by being pleasant and agreeable but if necessary “by any appropriate means’’.

Idealism is important. But all idealism must be rooted in a hard-headed understanding of human nature and power. “Without power nothing can be achieved. And even with power not everything desirable will always be feasible.’’

In his speech, Bilahari recalled how our founding PM once told a former chief of the Malaysian Armed Force that “if PAS comes into power…and tries to meddle with the water in Johor Bahru, I’ll move my troops in. I will not wait for the Security Council to solve this little problem’’.

Singapore has done well in the five decades since independence. As a nation, we cannot be ordinary if we want to be relevant to the world.

He concluded by reminding Singapore that our external environment remains complicated, unstable and dangerous.

Bilahari’s speech is attached. It is worth reading.

Now u know the reason that even Mahathir only complaining about the case worldwide but not cut supply.......

Reality is harsh. So be realistic

? U still think the response would be no treated water from SG?
Topkek

Haha.... SG hv been challenging MY to do so
But y Mahathir never do so?

Understand the whole case before keep giving unworkable action plan. Nanti jadi kemaluan antarabangsa tau

U r kind of weird. Pushing to go for international court but talk about rhetoric. Court is about rule of law and in this case black & white agreement.

Did u see SG government complaint about MY VEP?
Did u see SG government raise diplomatic issue on chicken ban?

They are pragmatic enough to work on alternative rather crying about thing beyond control

what leverage johor have? if tutupe pipe, they themselves headache.. coz lazy (feed by SG) never build sufficient water processing plant..

U r now getting little smarter through the discussion......
U start to think what are being bound by agreement. I m sure SG government cannot complaint much as long follow agreement.
Btw the commitment supply amount is known fact

The more important thing is getting smarter people to draft agreement for upcoming renewal in 30 years..... Put in gradual in increment to offset inflation. Else shorter the contract tenure

Earlier price review under mahathir PM4 time. Kind of dumb to review without deep though on these need..... After that only cry father cry mother...... Due diligent in review mana?

My best guess he is busy with internal politic then......
