Singa Pura-pura

Notice: Triggered by Singapore success retaining the AFF Championship title last night.

Lee Kuan Yew famously said, ‘Tak Cina kalau tak menipu’. He is Chinese and still manages Singapore through title Senior Minister or/and Minister Mentor. Anyone who happen to have buku ‘Malaysia Kita’ cetakan keenam tahun 2005 please take a look page 92 and 93. These 2 pages ada menceritakan why Singapore or to be exact Lee Kuan Yew agreed with Tunku Abdul Rahman untuk bergabung membentuk Malaysia and dapatkan kemerdekaan dari British. Lee Kuan Yew just wants to save his own ass, since his political party, People Action Party (PAP) are really in bad shape. PAP lost confident from Singapore’s public and situation simply out of his control. Lee Kuan Yew knew by entering Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dia boleh concentrate on his political agenda to develop Singapore’s economy while Kuala Lumpur will handle all the safety aspect of the island. After he achieved what he wants, dan Singapore kembali berada didalam tangan beliau, dia ‘minta cerai’. Cool kan..! Now Singapore adalah negara termaju di ASEAN and one of the most developed country in Asia.

I believe any nation or organization ‘build’ base on ‘penipuan’ sebegini will remain disgusting to anyone else, forever. Singapore by far not the best neighbor any country could possibly ask. We all knew all the trouble occurs between them and our country. Unsolved issues berpuluh-puluh tahun. Penggunaan ruang udara oleh air force mereka, harga air, tanah KTM, tambakan pasir, Mycard, jambatan and the list seem will never end.

The latest, Menteri Besar Johor accused them kerana menyebabkan banjir besar di selatan. He said penambakan tanah di Pulau Tekong disturb the sea current dan menjejaskan laluan air ke muara. Ini dipercayai menyumbang kepada bencana banjir. Sound logic, but we just have to wait the technical report yang akan dihantar to Singapore.

‘‘Kita berdepan dengan Singapura, kalau kita tidak menunjukkan asas teknikal ini, mereka mungkin akan memberikan pendirian yang berlainan,’’ - Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak kepada Utusan.

Najib macam dah fed up to have any sort of relation with Singapore anymore. But, I believe rakyat Malaysia boleh menarik nafas lega, since now Singapore got new ‘friend’ to play with, Thailand.

Malaysia and Thailand has been friend for so many years, with no major problem. Even sensitive issues such as communist, sempadan and pergolakan agama di Narratiwat berjaya diselesaikan dengan baik. But, suddenly Singapore yang dah boring dengan Malaysia’s passive gameplan invited them to confront dalam permainan yang Singapore cukup pandai. Tipu and menipu.

Rakyat Thailand furious with syarikat milik kerajaan Singapura, Temasek yang take over Thailand biggest telecomunication company Shin Corp. People believe bekas Perdana Menteri Thailand, Thaksin secretly met Singapore’s high profile officer to discus about the take over. Prospect of negara lain ‘mencuri dengar’ perbualan telefon mereka telah menyebabkan Thaksin di tolak oleh rakyat Thailand pada 19 September lalu. Case ini sekarang dah masuk mahkamah dan menjadi semakin panas dengan ‘lakonan’ Noh Alam Shah pada 1^st leg of AFF Championship final last week. Thais cop promise there will be maximum security to prevent anything bad happen dalam stadium semalam.

For us, let just relax and enjoy the latest episode of Singapore’s soup opera.

P/S: Aku still ingat Dr Mahathir buat lawak dalam perhimpunan agung UMNO masa SingTel nak beli saham one of Government-owned Company. He said, don’t trust them since they will Sing (nyanyi kegembiraan) dulu then baru Tell (bagitahu kita). Hahahaha… good one.
