I agree with you on this, and would like to add further.
The water may belong to the Malaysians, but the water treatment
facillities and management are paid by Singaporean funds. The
processed water is not only used by Singaporeans, it is also used
by the people of Johor.
What the racist pig brained old 'has been' is calling for is an
increase in the prices. Justifiable of course, and we Singaporeans
can afford it, no prob, afterall we dont really need it anymore,
for by 2011, we will be at least 80% self sufficient.
But I am sure the Johor people are going to scream bloody
murder, for it will mean an increase in the prices we sell the
water back to them. Costs are and had always been passed on to the
consumers.
By all means, call for a raise, the way he raised petrol prices,
which they own and yet sold high to its citizens unconscienciably,
and see how the Johor citizens will react.
We dont even need to lift a finger, just sit back, relax and
watch that pig brained mad hatter be torn further into pieces
figuratively by his own people, whatever thats left of his dignity
if it ever exist in the first place. Nationalism will only go as
far as the length of one's stomach or his loved one's.
Msia can always buy over our water treatment facillities. If
they can build white elephants such as the petronas towers, they
can jolly well afford our price. And it will be staggering so -
another 50 years of revenue lost calculated in, adjusted with
annual inflation rate. Our treasury will overflow and can even
build more desalination plants and supply water to SEAsia
region.
Msia can also seize the facillities. Go ahead, make my day. The
Johor folks feeling the recession pinch, sick of paying more in a
land of resources, will welcome us with open arms.
Had been waiting for it. Better we resolve it now this
generation than to burden the next.Already used to his threats and
sabre rattling. He owes me and my brothers-in-arms lost
youth in training and preparing to counter his delusions
of granduer habitually.
Glory to the liberation of Singaporeans and Johor people, and
Honour intact to our republic for we WILL NOT BE BULLIED!
Before the X-rated Fraud gets all fogged up with its hot gas, it
should look into the facts before shooting off at a tangent in some
jingoistic nationalistic fervor.
‘The
1961 Agreement maybe expiring by 2011 and the Singapore Government
will allow it to lapse. There remains the 1962 Agreement that is
valid till 2061 – it gave Singapore the full and exclusive right to
draw water from the Johor River up to a maximum of 250
million gallons per day (or 1.14 million cubic
meter a day). In return, Johor was entitled to a daily
supply of treated water from Singapore up to 2 per cent of the raw
water it supplied. The 1962 agreement allow for a price review
after 25 years – (which the Johor Government chose not to revise
the prices in 1986 and 1987’. (*1)
What is the basis for the fraudulent claim in the statement made
that - "we dont really need
it anymore, for by 2011, we will be at least 80% self sufficient."
?
‘In a June 23, 2009 – CIRCLE OF BLUE
WATERNEWS’ (*2) - the following was reported as
part of the opening of the new Water Barrage:-
"A fifth reclamation plant opened
today during International Water Week, an annual conference that
takes place in Singapore.
Designed to produce NEWater —
Singapore’s own brand of reclaimed water — the facility will be
able to recycle up to 176 million gallons a day.
NEWater, which
is essentially purified waste water, is expected to supply
30 percent of
Singapore’s needs by next
year."
Even as Singapore progress, should we allow the cockeyed
jingoistic nationalism to taunt others into actions against
Singapore ?
It clearly show the hot gas that a X-rated Fraud need in order
to exist with some relevance.
