Singapore stand holds no water


Singapore’s official book arguing its position on buying Malaysian water is adedicated publication on how the Singapore government is right and Malaysia is wrong. Unlike Singapore’s attempt to prolong the tit-for-tat exchange, Malaysia stands ready to review the terms of the water agreements based on a price considered fair to all. 

THE title of the Singapore government’s book Water Talks: If Only It Could, is lifted from the opening paragraph of a comment piece on water purchase (dis)agreements with Malaysia in The Straits Times of Sept 4 last year.
