Najib: We canÂ’t 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 countryÂ’s interests and ownership of strategic sectors and industries.
"Otherwise it would create dissatisfaction among the people or raise adverse implications to the countryÂ’s 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 UmnoÂ’s 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 SingaporeÂ’s 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 SingaporeÂ’s Minister Mentor Lee Kuan YewÂ’s 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.

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! -

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. -
