The matter could have been settled
quite well had it not been for the petulant behaviour of the Johor
Crown Prince - known to be as bad as the father {who is known to
have murdered 2 Johoreans during his prime} - who resisted arrest,
and had insisted that the Singapore Police Commissioner be the
arresting officer.
Singapore did send a protest note to KL, and it subsequently
resulted in heavy official checks on all Singapore traffic into
Malaysian territory - especially into the State of Johor.
Cars were checked thoroughly at the Johor ICQ, private yatchs were
hauled to the nearest Malaysian Police Outpost for tresspassing
without permit - when it was accepted practise for leisure crafts
to report to the Police or Immigration Point at their intended
destination points.
All these reprisal actions were conducted only in Johor towards
Singaporeans enjoying a leisure time in the state - no prize for
guessing who is behind.
The wheel chairbound 'mat
salleh' did not file his flight plans in advance, and came
in without warning.
After the Tamil Tiger incident of flying their secretly assembled
light craft fitted out to bomb the Sri Lankan airbase at the
Colombo International Airport, and especially after 9/11 - nearly
everything is considered a threat.
