''(MY Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin
Yassin)Muhyiddin said Dr Mahathir had summoned him to attend a
meeting in Kuala Lumpur with then visiting Singapore Prime Minister
Lee Kuan Yew over gas pipeline and water supply issues.
He said during the meeting between Dr Mahathir, the then
finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, Lee and him, Lee had pressed
for adequate water supply to the republic from Johor.
"Lee said Singapore was ready to go to war if
Malaysia did not want to supply enough water and expressed his
regret over the stalled water supply project from Sungai
Lingu.''

read how Dr M said
http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/2009/08/sound-bites-water-for-singapor.html
''1. Tan
Sri Muhyiddin spoke the truth about my persuading him to supply
water to Singapore (read here).
But Lee Kuan Yew did not threaten to go to war if we did not supply
water. If he had done that, I think I would have stopped any
further supply.''
NOw,read how LKY wrote in the book
published in
2000!!
FROM THIRD WORLD TO FIRST--
THE SINGAPORE STORY:1965-2000
page 276--
He [Mahathir] was direct and asked what we were building the SAF
[Singapore Armed Forces] for. I (Lee Kuan Yew)replied equally
directly that we feared that at some time or other there could be a
random act of madness like cutting off our water supplied which
they [the Malaysians] had publicly threatened whenever there were
differences between us … In [the Separation] agreement, the
Malaysian government had guaranteed our water supply. IF this was
breached,we would go to the UN Security Council. If water shortage
became urgent, in an emergency,we would have to go in, forcibly if
need be, to repair damaged pipes and machinery to restore the water
flow. I was putting my cards on the table. He denied that such
precipitate action would happen. I said I believe that he would not
do this, but we had to be prepared for all contingencies.”
-Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore Prime Minister

So,did LKY warn Dr M with war on water issue?
Pl write very carefully.I dunt want this thread closed.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
here come the good news.
When LKY warned Dr M,i think at least half of SG water came fr
MY.
Now in 2009,only 30 % of SG water comes fr MY,after 10 % of
desalination
plant and various new measures put in place.
So,SG has more room to play if water is cut for whatever
reasons.
So boys,relax.U wont be called out!!

Pl talk with extreme care.Help me to keep this thread open
