Lowclassman SG Yeah...it might be the same case as Timor Gap...the dispute on issue of oil extraction between Timor Leste and Australia's government. Although the oil extraction was within the Australian territory but the oil rig is situated very near the boundary of Timor Leste...So Timor Leste's govt was sure that certain amount of crude oil would be drawn from their territory, and Timor Leste's govt would want to have reasonable amount of share of crude oil extraction. This dispute had been dangling since year 2000, I don't know whether it has been resolved I hope Singapore govt will put up a good fight against Malaysia if there are concrete evidence of oil are also found and will be drawn from our territory. If that is the case......I hope this sg govt would do Singaporeans a big favor in return of giving genuine subsidys on our daily basic needs....NOT pretending that nothing had been happened and keep on sucking us dry to fatten their ''income'' and putting up excuses of that the COE or CEO will have to be answerable to its share holders....until today, I'm still very puzzle over who by individual owns the biggest shares GLC, Sinkaporepools????????????????????????????????????????
laurence82 SG urm...i think as long as the government doesnt change its mindset, oil wont help us much

syncopation_music SG For everyone info , Oil exploration employed drilling tool to drill sideway thousands of kilometre deep into the earth mantle so in principle it will affect the sovereignty rights of the nations near the exploration area for more info , check out on wikipedia I got info from the oil and gas expert .
Heartlander SG Soon you will hear that GST is going up to 15% because if Singaporeans want to be rich, you have to make sacrifice first, contribute to subsidise to explore for oil in Singapore water- it is for the good of your next generation, but ministers like us have to increase or peg our pay to those oil producing countries’, otherwise who will manage our oil find?
Lowclassman SG Sg fear the most is ...when there is high tension between Sg and Malaysia....Do you think our economy will still maintain or go down with no bottom? Think abt it.....
mistyblue SG Singapore is already rich, just not the common non elite people. Oil or no oil, prices will keep increasing, salaries of our "Talented" ministers will keep increasing. We are told IR or casino in 2009 will bring more janitorial and perhaps spread-leg jobs for us and we should not ask for more. Malaysia is not stupid.
lionnoisy SG It is ok to say all the fields (the are operating)are inside MY land.But oil flow underground .If there is oil in MY land, Spore also get chance. 2.Have u heard of rumor,before the news came out, inside a camp there is a oil well??
