Land Reclaimation Court Case-Mat Land 0 Lion City 4

Doenitz SG

Two of Singapore's goals were own goals scored by Dr Mud Mati and his UMNO puppets.

Will be Mat Land's next move be? Conduct another full scale military exercise in Johore like in 1991 to make up for their humiliation? Dr Mud Mati is leaving soon,maybe he wants to do something spectacular before he retires.

Very Happy

I don't see what the Malaysia government can argue much about for this land reclamation? We are obviously reclaiming on our side,therefore no issue at all! They may feel threatened mainly due to their Johore port access and military reasons. Then why are they talking about environmental damage? Firstly it is just a tiny stretch of water,can hardly catch any real quantity of fish. Secondly they are also reclaiming on their side if i am not wrong! Thirdly the place is in the first place not very clean due to shipping. Confused

1 thing i really do wonder though, wouldn't reclaiming southwards be a better option than northwards?

after all more space mah...

the only reason i can think of is, south sea currents are stronger that straits currents...

Deeper too.And alot of coral all over the place......Singapore waters truely is *&^*^ up i've sailed the waters around the south and i hate it!!!The north is ok...but the east is the best...not too deep....wide....and no scholes!(Tekong area)
