If both Countries work constructively - there are many areas we can collaborate for mutual benefits.

Deliberately making trouble to cause conflict and confrontation is most foolish - as it will break cooperation - and cause unnecessary tension and friction - that will hurt both ways.

Azmin and Khaw Boon Wan were instrumental in working out a face-saving deal for both countries' HSR project. Hope his involvement can similarly work out a face-saving deal in maritime and airspace disputes. Or at least agree to submit the case for international arbitration, just as it was done for Pedra Branca years ago

They are jealous of Singapore's achievments. Jealousy will provide them with problems. Singapore is being humble and the other party will be humbled in due course.

Sabah and Sarawak should seek independence like Brunei to form their own government. They are so far away from Putrajaya and seperated by the huge S. China Sea yet still need to contrbute their oil & gas money to feed those unproductive, corrupted & irresponsible federal govt with opportunist politicians who only wayang wayang and just politicking to gain publicity and deceive ordinary people to win votes.

K Tan Don - If your side don't provoke us, we will be humble.
But when your side create trouble for us - we cannot afford to stay humble.


An interesting comment from your Minister Azmin reported in the news that "the maritime and airspace dispute - are unnecessary distraction".


This shows that your younger Ministers prefer more constructive and professional ways of establishing bilateral ties - and not the current confrontational nostalgic historical baggage style of negative engagement.

Pher Kim Huat - Good suggestion... Go separate ways like the Russians and go also like `Arab Spring' for other States who wish to do so.....

Like Osman Sampan, Azmin is another Dr M's blue eye boy executing the old cunning fox's plot in a different way against S'pore & Anwar of PKR. If Azmin becomes next PM, then the poisonous cobra is breaking his promise to M'sians and ultimately his own son will be the upcoming PM in the making.

If small countries among AEC could not get together and settle issues amicably, soon we will be swollen by big fish like what is going to happen in South China sea.

Believe S'pore doesn't have to be too bothered about what kind of games MY is playing as long as we play our cards appropriately avoiding falling into their "dirty trap". Except for their own cronies, foreign investors and leaders with good analytical minds are aware of what those opportunist politicians are doing and likely to lose their confidence from what they see so far. In fact, the people who need to fear or worry most are Malaysians themselves and Anwar as they have to live with these "dirty politicians" who only play "games" instead of implementing right policy for their countrymen. The poisonous cobra is also using Azmin to play with Anwar and pave way for his son. Anwar need to be careful otherwise he may fall into the cunning fox's trap once again.
