Words from the gateway city

As someone living in Johor Bahru, the gateway city of Malaysia, there are certain perspectives that I wish to share with others concerning about how the JB people feel about their neighbours. Some are good, but most are just bad. I don't intend to promote hate and prejudice but just hope to voice out what people talk on the streets around my place. Certain issues involving two great nations often cause dismay for the people living in the south of Johor.

1. The water issue. The Johor government charges 3 sen per 1000 gallon for raw water being supplied to the republic. And due to incompetent negotiators, the republic charges us 50 sen per 1000 gallon of treated drinking water sent to Johor. And for one day, the Johor government purchases 46000 gallons of treated water from the republic. So, ladies and gentlemen, do the arithmetic and see how much of the Johor treasury Singapore has swiped from us.
2. The military issue. Based upon the book ‘The Singapore Story’ by lee Kuan Yew, since the 60’s, the army of Singapore has received military supervision and support by the Jewish state of Israel. During the Singapore National Day celebration in 1969, the republic gave a shock to the former Defence Minister by parading 20 tanks during the parade. At that time, Malaysia had 0 tanks. The Singapore army has adopted the stances of the Israeli military and lied to malysia for 30 years saying that the army did not have ties with the Israeli army. The secret was revealed in ‘The Singapore Story’. Besides that, the armada of Singapore is in par with Israel and therefore causing worries by some Johoreans and even the Indonesians.
3. Israeli espionage (MOSSAD) has an operating office in Singapore. Seeing into the stance of the Malaysia government not to create ties with the illegal state, there are some fears that espionage may occur in Malaysia to fulfill these Zionist Agendas.
4. Fear of war declaration. I once read mahathir’s blog and I read a comment by one person. He says: ‘Kita sekat je air ke Singapura. Biar mereka mati haus. And then this person justifies his comment by giving a hadith’. (Read www.chedet.co.cc). Ok, lets say this commentor suddenly gains his way to a high post in the cabinet. He then proposes to cut water supply to Singapore. What will Singapore do? Of course she will defend itself. She will declare war with Malysia for endangering the populace. And JB, what will become of it? It will be a buffer zone between the Malysian army and the Singapore army. Adios, keamanan.
5. Superiority of Singaporeans when entering the Malaysia side. I and most of my Johor friends can see this. Vehicles with Singapore plate numbers drive very wrecklessly on the road. And to tell you the truth, I was once a waiter working near the causeway catering to these Singaporeans. Their ‘Kiasuness’, ego and ‘bajet Negara dia bagus sgt trait’ (thinks that their country is much better trait) really comes to light. There was once this couple who always loved to compare between both Malaysia n Singapore until the point that it really tested my obedience to the company’s customer policy. Their speed limit on highways is only 80 kmh but in Malaysia it is 110kmh. When these drivers go to our highways, they travel sometimes nearing 200kmh at the same time endangering others on the road.

That is all I have to write concerning this issue. Hope that people who come across this post could argue with me constructively and just not be emotional about it. Thank you..
