Najib: We cant cancel Singapore investments,26 Sep 2006

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia cannot cancel all Singapore investments as it could send wrong signals to investors, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

He said the country needed foreign direct investments but it must also ensure that FDI did not affect the countrys interests and ownership of strategic sectors and industries.

"Otherwise it would create dissatisfaction among the people or raise adverse implications to the countrys security.

"Leave it to the government to weigh the matters, on a case-by-case basis," he said.

Najib was asked to comment on Johor Umnos call for the government to cancel all projects that would benefit Singapore more than it would benefit Malaysia, especially the proposed Kuala Lumpur-Singapore Bullet Train project.

Johor Umno also asked that Malaysia stop taking into consideration Singapores interests when implementing projects under the RM15 billion Johor South Corridor development and that it review its overall relations with the city state.

The calls followed Singapores Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yews remarks that Chinese in Malaysia were being systematically marginalised.

The former Singapore Prime Minister was quoted as saying that the attitude of Malaysia and Indonesia towards Singapore was shaped by the way they treat their own ethnic Chinese minorities.

An official of the Singapore High Commission in Kuala Lumpur when contacted yesterday, said that he had not received any reaction from the Singapore government on the issue.

I think Singapore should cancel all projects with Malaysia.

ShutterBug SG

With all these negativities between our neighbors, we should be careful...

Cause one day, relation gets so strained we might become another Kuwait...
we may have some fire-power, but we lack the sheer volume of military force.

we're surrounded by unhappy neighbors!

You know this sucks and it is stupid; why must LKY make such a remark? Doesn't he know the repercusions of such a statement?

Lighty SG

I heard dat our armed forces are build to counter these 2 (COUNTRIES)

M i right?

sgboy2004 SG

wat if they combine force?

ShutterBug SG

Doesn't matter whether our forces are built to fend off these two countries, because once there is a military confrontation, our economy is blown to bits.

It will be a long term economic impact...

Wtela SG

cancel projects cancel lor, big deal meh?

LKY only talk about the problems that his personal neighbours may be having, and out of a sudden both Malaysia and Indonesia admited and own up their atrocities committed.

Luckily LKY talked about this matter to bring the world to attention.
