Dunt blame SG for the delay of signing treaty.
Indonesia requested postpond signing three Implementing
Arrangements (IAs) .The reason:it could not get all three
Indonesian Service Chiefs to be present on 27 April.
But at the end,Indonesia want to change the terms of the
agreement
which are already agreed by their Ministers of FA!!

There is no point to talk or discuss if we dunt stories from both
sides.

MFA Spokesman's Comments on remarks by Indonesian Minister of
Defence Prof Juwono Sudarsono
....Indonesia and Singapore had negotiated the Extradition
Treaty (ET), and the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) and
four associated Implementing Arrangements (IAs) as one
package. This package of agreements was agreed to and
completed at a meeting of their Ministers of Foreign Affairs and
Defence, and their armed forces chiefs on 23 April 2007.
It was on this basis that the ET, DCA and Military Training Area IA
were signed on 27 April 2007 in Bali in the presence of President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
At Indonesia's request, however, the date for the signing
of the three remaining IAs was deferred to 7 May 2007, purely for
administrative and logistical reasons. The TNI explained
that it could not get all three Indonesian Service Chiefs to be
present on 27 April. Unfortunately, the signing on 7 May 2007 did
not materialise, because just before it was due to take place
Indonesia requested changes to the IAs which Singapore could not
agree to.
The package of agreements was settled after comprehensive
negotiations between the relevant agencies on both sides, including
the defence ministries and armed forces of Indonesia and Singapore.
Since the time negotiations commenced in October 2005, both sides
had ample opportunity to raise any matter of concern for
discussion, prior to the conclusion of the carefully balanced set
of agreements on 23 April 2007.
Indonesia did not raise these issues then. But after the conclusion
of the package, Indonesia asked for substantive changes and new
conditions to what had already been agreed upon in the DCA and IAs,
as reflected in Prof Juwono's remarks.
Singapore's position is that the agreements are already settled,
and the terms cannot be changed casually or piecemeal, without
risking the whole package of ET and DCA unravelling. Nevertheless,
in the interests of good relations between the two countries,
Singapore had earlier conveyed to Indonesia our proposal on how we
can move forward on this issue, and we are waiting for Indonesia's
response to our proposal."
