The game and its expansion is quite good. However even with advanced missiles such as ASRAAM, METEOR, BRIMESTONE the possibility of hitting their targets is 70%. It is claimed that this game is one of the most realistic sims. Can anyone who has played this game comment on it?

Tomel, please read my post carefully. It is a fact, not nonsense.The Johor state government could have re-examined the charges in 1986 and 1987 when rates for raw water purchased by Singapore and treated water purchased by Johor were up for review. However the Johor state government has chosen not to review the price of water sold to Singapore.In case, you do not understand, the British, who started and created the deal allowed the deal to be reviewed by both Malaysia and Singapore in the year 1986. This means that changes can be made to the deal in 1986. Unfortunately, Malaysia did not voice out any opposition to the deal that time. . Thus, I say that Singapore is kind enough to allow the deal to be changed and reviewed when Malaysia wanted to increase the price in 2002, 16 years after the deadline. Singapore shows that it is willing to change the price of water when it said it wanted the price to be pegged to the price of NEwater. It has also offered to pay Malaysia 60 sen (16 US cents) per thousand gallons, with the price to be adjusted for inflation every five years, in any new agreement. However, Malaysia has rejected it time and again and wants a price higher.

Tomel, a Malaysia politician once said that Malaysia will continue to provide water to Singapore only if Malaysia needs are satisfied first. True frendship is evident only 1)if Malaysia values its agreements. The water deals were signed many years ago. The deals provide provision for reviewing only in 1986. However Malaysia did not show any signs that it wanted to review the water deal. Singapore was actually kind enough to allow the price of water to be reviewed some 16 years later. 2)if Malaysia do not use water as a bargaining power in bilateral discussions. Many a times, Malaysia has use Singapore’s dependancy on Malaysia’s water to win in negotiations. Singapore is now tired of such bargaining power Malaysia has, and so, it has opted for recycled water. Another reason why Singapore opted for recycled water is because MNCs in Singapore has long wanted Singapore to be self-sufficient in its water supply.
Seahawk, I can only agree with your post.

Tomel, i’m sure Malaysia did had a water shortage a few years back. Water level at reservoirs dropped drasticaaly. I just can’t remember which state it was.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-08-02 AT 10:28 AM (GMT)]Azhar, do you know that Malaysians as well as people from the rest of the world has been drinking mud water, toilet water and other kinds of dirty fluid? This is because nature has purified such dirty water to clean water for one and all to quench their thirst. I have heard that Malaysia plans to send a astronaut to space. If this really happens, he will drink recycled water too. All astronauts drink recycled water. Recycling water is due to the problem of over-population and urbanisation. If such problem do exist in the future, Malaysia would turn to recycling water{Toilet Water}.
Tomel, as you have said earlier, IAF and RMAF is planning a joint air exercise. This could just be a strike on Singapore in disguise. So that not to be caught asleep, Singapore must increase its patrols. I’m sure many other countries do go on alert if their neighbouring countries hold an exercise. Besides you have said that MAF since last 2 weeks has conducted a mechanised/armour exercise near the border between Singapore and Malaysia. Training right at our doorstep when Malaysia has such a great land mass? There must be somerthing fishy. Thus, the armed forces have to go on alert.
I have already posted on the forum long ago that the Typhoon and Rafale are the most likely contenders for the fighter competition. People in the air force have also agreed with me when I asked them this question. When did I said the Su-30 will be seleted? F-15 and F-16 C/D block 60 are unlikely to be selected as firstly, RSAF combat tyes are mostly american and american types will not be chosen so as to diversy its arsenal. Secondly, these are old designs, especially the F-15 and would RSAF select an old design which would last it for the next thirty years? I believe 99% that either the Rafale or the Eurofighter will be selected.
By the way, the variant F-15S to be given to Singapore’s F-15 is unlikely as F-15S is already given to Saudi’s F-15E.

crxiong353RE: Singapore – political and strategic overview.
The first reason why Singapore does not want to buy water from Malaysia is because Malaysia keeps threatening Singapore over biliateral issues with water. All this while, Malaysia uses water as a bargaining power{You don’t listen to me, i will shut off the water and let you die of thirst}. This has been the mentality of Malaysian negotiators at talks with Singapore. As singapore is tired of Malaysians threats time and again, Singapore has decided to rely less on Malaysia on water.
The second reason why Singapore wants to stop buying water from Singapore is because Singapore has Newater, a recycled water. And mind you, ours is pure recycled water. Internationally recognised scientists have announced that the water is safe to drink. The recycled water is so clean that it has to be mixed with reservoir water before being channeled to homes. The project is highly sucessful and it shows that Singapore has some advanced technoogy its neghbour does not have. Not only does Singapore uses recycled water. Highly developed countries such as Netherlands and USA uses recycled water. The world should be laughing at the world’s only superpower as its some of its citizens are drinking toilet water. However, no laughs have been heard. Everyone should be proud men’s invention of such technology and not be jealous that such technology has not been used or arrived at some countries.
