The Malaysian Prime Minister Mohamed Mahatir responded to Singapore’s Foreign Minister Prof Jayakumar’s statement that the “Water Issue is not merely about the price of water, whether it is 3 sens or 45 sens, but more about the Sovereignty of Singapore”.
The ingenuity of the Malaysian Prime Minister begins to show the guile lurking not too far beneath the image of a self-assured genius.
In a CNA report this Thursday evening, he appeared on Malaysian TV asking if SingaporeÂ’s sovereignty is measured by a water agreement worth 3 sens per 1000 gallons?
He must be the only comedian in South-east Asia to become a Prime Minister, who hope to be a "Moderate Modern Muslim Leader for the Islamic World"; as well as taking the leadership role to form “Asia as the Third Voice in the World’s Stage”.
It looks like the stage of buffoons is most befitting him, when he retire from politics, and he can have his Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar to be his side-kick.
They will make a wonderful pair.
Without even addressing the main issues revealed by the release of the letters between himself and our Singapore Government leaders, he went on to say that the release of those letters would be similar to "oneÂ’s girl friend releasing all the love letters to all her other boy friends for their entertainment."
It would seem that both the Malaysian Prime Minister and his Foreign Minister are now trying to control the damages done to their credibility, by deflecting attention from the contents of those letters by casting doubts to purpose and integrity on SingaporeÂ’s part in releasing such letters of confidence.
They fail to appreciate the fact that SingaporeÂ’s Foreign Minister has said that he has been forced by circumstances in which Malaysian Government Leaders continuously mislead the Malaysian Public through the Media, with distorted information that portray Singapore as the DevilÂ’s Advocate in all the matters that have gone wrong between Malaysia and Singapore.
There is little hope of any amicable relationship to be restored as long as these two Malaysian Government Appointed Leading Comedians are in Office.
We can only hope that better sense will return with the next successor taking over the seat of the Malaysian Prime Minister Office.
Actually, as with all politicking, the storm will pass and b4 you know it, they will be shaking hands with us once more.
How many time have we seen that b4?

Actually he sniped us by saying that is our sovereignity just worth 0.5 cents (if u read his lines carefully). In that case, is Malaysia's face and national interest worth just a mere RM 6.22 ? (the difference between 3 cents and RM6.25)
There's no end in sight if they always want the last say like an immature adult.
