quite obviously so if u ask me... even if the decision to have the exercise was made ages ago, the decision to release it to the press is most probably not.Originally posted by KaYaBrEaD:anyone seen yesterday news... saf.. open moblisation to public at this period of time??to??... regard the dispute...to matland... to shown that we are not to be mess with?? -
I don't think this mob timing has anything to do with current tension. Whether is it public or silent mob, these exercises are held very frequently. So often in fact, Mindef took the trouble to provide months of advanced notice to all NS personnel on their ICT or manning period so as to minimise disruptions to their daily activities.Originally posted by KaYaBrEaD:anyone seen yesterday news... saf.. open moblisation to public at this period of time??to??... regard the dispute...to matland... to shown that we are not to be mess with?? -

Senile ? This illness is nothing compared to the one inflicting Malaysian's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar who foams at the mouth whenever he talks about Singapore...Originally posted by sgboy2004:i wonder if there was any mobilisation done on weekdays b4?

Now he was reported as saying ....
Jan 27 (Bernama) -- Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said Monday Singaporeans should think of the consequences of instigating their government over sensitive issues between Malaysia and Singapore, particularly those with the "threat of war" angle. "They should think about it or they'll regret it later," he said
Syed Hamid was asked to comment on the move by Singapore's Young People's Action Party (PAP) to allowing citizens of the republic to discuss the possibility of war between Singapore and Malaysia openly on its official website.
Syed Hamid said that it was irresponsible to talk about war.
He said that Malaysia, in the past, only mentioned about defending its right and sovereignty and nothing about war. Malaysia, he said, had always stressed on negotiations and if things do not work out, Malaysia prefers referring matters to a third party for solution. "
He said that it was unnecessary for Singapore to show its political backing by certain countries and military weaponries to influence Malaysia's stand on disputed issues between the two countries.
And now his is blaming ordinary Singaporean for "instigating their government" on internet forums ?!! Even odder for him comment on Singapore using "certain countries and military weaponries" for influence and prefer to talk about PAP forums instead of Singapore's parliament speech and info release on 25 Jan . What the hell is he barking up now ?
In fact, the Malaysian media was so QUIET for over 24 hrs after Singapore's Parliament speech that not a single word was mentioned about Singapore, the bilateral issues, and let alone on Dr Jayakumar's speech. They only started reporting today about Dr. M commented to the press team on his return to KL .
What is noticiable on NST Sunday Times (26 Jan) are
Zero abstract on Singapore's position.
Zero coverage on Singapore's release of letters and doc.
Zero comment from NST or their usually inflammatory editorials.
My bate is the Malaysian gov and its media is going to respone with more retoric, confusing media talks and lies to the Malaysian pple. -
are u surprised?
they seriously don't know what they're getting themselves into... they're laid a bet and we've called their bluff. now, they have too much to lose to back down and appear weak.
they won't survive politically once they appear weak to the people. they've put too many eggs in one basket.
this is when it gets dangerous... -

Malaysia says Singapore shows bad faith by releasing water documents
By Malaysia Bureau Chief Zainudin Afandi
Malaysia says it has never spoken loosely about war with Singapore over Pedra Branca.
Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar agrees with his Singapore counterpart that such loose talk about war is irresponsible.
However, he has accused Singapore of not acting in good faith by making public several letters written by the leaders of the two neighbours over the water negotiations.
Singapore says the letters and documents show Malaysia has repeatedly changed its position on water, even though the Republic has been both consistent and forthcoming in the long, drawn out negotiations.
On Saturday, Singapore's Foreign Minister S Jayakumar released some 160 pages of documents on the water negotiations.
These included letters between the leaders and diplomatic exchanges, including the actual 1961 and 1962 water agreements.
Professor Jayakumar told Parliament, "I have been reluctant to release these documents despite misrepresentation of facts from the other side because we hoped for a win-win outcome. But I have to release them now because this hope is no longer realistic and so much misinformation on the water issue has been put out by Malaysia that needs to be rebutted by conclusive evidence." But Mr Syed Hamid has questioned Singapore's motive for making the documents public.
"What are they trying to show, to prove? I think there is lack of good faith in this particular case. You don't publish these letters. These letters can be published when you're writing memoir or something like that," Mr Syed Hamid said.
"By this action, it simply means that all this while it has no intention of finding a solution," he said. Mr Syed Hamid also refuted Singapore's claim that Malaysia had repeatedly changed its position each time a solution was near.
"They want it commercial, they want market price. We reacted to that. Market price means not three sen. And we're willing to pay more for the treated water to reflect market and commercial price. I think its unfair - this blaming game," he said. However, the Malaysian minister agreed with Professor Jayakumar that loose talk of war is both irresponsible and dangerous.
"Malaysia has never talked about war but we've always been talking about defending our rights and sovereignty. We've never said that we're going to go to war," the Malaysian minister said.
"The reason that why negotiate, we said in a conflict situation, we would like to negotiate and if we cannot agree, we'll refer to it to a third party. We've never tried to show our strength or trying to show that we can defeat anybody," he said.
But this was in stark contrast to comments Mr Syed Hamid made late last month, when he was quoted as saying that Singapore had two choices on the Pedra Branca issue: "If it refuses to compromise...go to war."
Mr Syed Hamid also stressed there would not be anymore negotiations between the two countries to break the current impasse.
He was, however, non-committal on Professor Jayakumar's statement that Singapore is prepared to refer the matter to arbitration, according to the laws of Johor, as provided for in the agreement.
screw him BS politicians -

Agree with you totally....Originally posted by duotiga83:got watch 2dae's news? screw them their FM
Can't believe that he has got the cheek to blame Singapore for starting the "threaten of war" when he started the all whole mess. I really feel like giving two tight slaps to him.
These Malaysian Politicians are really Bloody Idiots !!!! They always blame others (US, UK, Australia and of course Singapore) but never never reflect on themselves. Bloody idiots !!!! Really make my blood boils.
To the Malaysians, you should be really ashame of some of your "leaders". They do not have the intergity to govern and represent you guys. You can never never believe their words. One moment this, one moment that......... DENIAL, DENIAL and DENIAL. Only know how to accuse people for the shit that they have created.
