Malaysia has been accused by Singapore of dictating to the island republic in their water negotiations and changing its position constantly. The republic knows that if this is the case there will be no negotiations to start with. Instead, Malaysia would have resorted to unilateral action, writes MERGAWATI ZULFAKAR 

IN 1998, Malaysia agreed to go into negotiations with Singapore to settle a package of bilateral issues with the intention of forging a win-win situation for both countries.
