Yesterday, Singapores PM Lee flew to Langkawi and met
Malaysias PM Badawi for informal talks on our bilateral
relationship (see http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/5/15/nation/17729783&sec=nation).
This doesnt interest me as much as a parallel incident on
Langkawi. As was reported in http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/5/15/nation/17731209&sec=nation,
ex-PM Mahathir arrived [in Langkawi] for a private visit early
[yesterday]. He was admitted to the hospital at 4.15pm.
Now, with the so-called pressure and not-so-kind words that
Mahathir had been heaping on Badawi, I find it very hard to believe
that the ex-PM and current PM are on Langkawi at the same time but
for different reasons. I think, with a conspiracy theory in mind,
that Lee, Badawi, Mahathir are all on Langkawi to talk about
Singapore-Malaysia ties, i.e. how the leaders can orchestrate the
next choreographed move (as I had suggested in http://blueheeler.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/ringringring/).
So dear Singaporeans and Malaysians, wait for the next managed
spat between our 2 beloved countries!
