The Malaysian Prime Minister Mohamed Mahatir responded to
Singapores Foreign Minister Prof Jayakumars statement that the
Water Issue is not merely about the price of water, whether it is
3 sens or 45 sens, but more about the Sovereignty of
Singapore.
The ingenuity of the Malaysian Prime Minister begins to show the
guile lurking not too far beneath the image of a self-assured
genius.
In a CNA report this Thursday evening, he appeared on Malaysian TV
asking if Singapores sovereignty is measured by a water agreement
worth 3 sens per 1000 gallons?
He must be the only comedian in South-east Asia to become a Prime
Minister, who hope to be a "Moderate Modern Muslim Leader for the
Islamic World"; as well as taking the leadership role to form Asia
as the Third Voice in the Worlds Stage.
It looks like the stage of buffoons is most befitting him, when he
retire from politics, and he can have his Foreign Minister Syed
Hamid Albar to be his side-kick.
They will make a wonderful pair.
Without even addressing the main issues revealed by the release of
the letters between himself and our Singapore Government leaders,
he went on to say that the release of those letters would be
similar to "ones girl friend releasing all the love letters to all
her other boy friends for their entertainment."
It would seem that both the Malaysian Prime Minister and his
Foreign Minister are now trying to control the damages done to
their credibility, by deflecting attention from the contents of
those letters by casting doubts to purpose and integrity on
Singapores part in releasing such letters of confidence.
They fail to appreciate the fact that Singapores Foreign Minister
has said that he has been forced by circumstances in which
Malaysian Government Leaders continuously mislead the Malaysian
Public through the Media, with distorted information that portray
Singapore as the Devils Advocate in all the matters that have gone
wrong between Malaysia and Singapore.
There is little hope of any amicable relationship to be restored as
long as these two Malaysian Government Appointed Leading Comedians
are in Office.
We can only hope that better sense will return with the next
successor taking over the seat of the Malaysian Prime Minister
Office.
