A day later, Dr Balakrishnan said in Parliament that Dr Mahathir’s comments were a“The 1962 Water Agreement is not about who is richer or poorer," Dr Balakrishnan said."It is about the fundamental principle of respecting the sanctity of agreements."
"Any breach of the 1962 Water Agreement would call into question the Separation Agreement, and this Separation Agreement is the basis of our existence of an independent sovereign state. "Our longstanding position is that neither Malaysia nor Singapore can unilaterally change the terms of this agreement between our two countries."Singapore Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan with Malaysian counterpart Saifuddin Abdullah during a joint press statement on Tuesday . He said: “We are honouring the agreement, which is why we say we can review 25 years after the agreement is signed”.
"So I don't understand what English is used by the Singaporean Foreign Minister to interpret it in such a manner," he said.He claimed Dr Balakrishnan had also insinuated that Malaysia has problems with governance."That is a malicious accusation, it is hitting below the belt," he said.

Meanwhile. Methane poisoning in pasir gudang , Johor. I suggest ministers focus on their own air first before talking about our clean and SAFE water they have been using.
When Malaysia going to learn. When the blind is always blind.
Seriously? LOL
Another example of how incompetent these leaders are, no wonder they are where they are today. Unless they wake up, they will always remain backwards in economy and mentality
SUCKER!
So...like when...?
Often wonder whether the Malaysian minister understands the definition of sovereign agreement. And we are supposed to be quiet & subservient when they hurl abuses and groundless accusations at us. We'd be branded 'reckless ' otherwise.
Ok good.
Wah! Really ah?
Well Malaysian living in Johor.... that’s the Government you voted for!
Wow! So scary 🤭
Wow... It take so long to make a decision like that... Finally you got it. We will always be neighbours irregardless what the international court decide. At least we are finally moving forward. Please don't prata... OK.
That is if they have the cheek to bring up their argument LOL
Wasn’t that what Singapore wanted previously but Malaysia chicken out? Wow...another flip-flop roti prata ace in the making!
