This shows the sneakiness of the Malaysian FM to capitalize on our moment of grief, so as to make advantage that will reinforce their own claims to this disputed island – as they will be able to boast that they have equal “administrative access” in patrolling the waters around this island.
Sneakiness is written on the mouse-like face of the Malaysian FM, whose gift of the empty gab outperforms the empty brain of his senile PM.
i actually think that the accident can have a "cooling off" effect on both sides.
they'll be compelled to act nice for awhile since adding insult to injury is "contrary to acceptable norms" as they so delicately put it some days ago...
i think if he REALLY has balls, then he should sign the bloody special agreement in Brussels which is the earliest time both foreign ministers can meet... Singapore very busy lah! where got time entertain their nonsense to fix another time just because they're too free... sickening...its pointless to want joint patrols... its messy enough in there. no point having more ships lurking around uninvited... we langar we lan lan... shipping lane congested also no choice... imagine if THEY langar and clog up OUR shipping lanes...
so they should just stay in their half pond where they belong.
