RE: 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.

RE: SIA makes wrong turn at Taipei AGAIN !!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-07-02 AT 12:37 PM (GMT)]Another accident at Chiang Kai Shek Airport!!!
In the SQ 6 crash in late 2001, Taiwanese airport controllers failed to alert the pilots that they were on the wrong runway and cleared them for takeoff. Runway markings were confusing and runway lights were suspected to be lighted eventhough the runway was closed.
In this accident and a few similar ones earlier, airliners had turned mistakenly into parking bays near taxiway S5. This showed that there are serious design flaws in the airport. Already an SIA and Taiwan Airlines planes have become victims of the airport. They should replace the airport with a new one asap.

RE: Please be honest.

Tomel, I am really 16 years old and I’ll be taking my “O” Levels this year. As this is the June holidays, I am allowed to stay on the computer for a little longer. The holidays will end soon and you will no longer see me so often, maybe twice a week as my parents won’t allow me to touch the com. In case you may wonder my knowledge on military stuff does not match my age, i’ve been interested in this topic since i was in lower primary school. If i wans’t a singaporean, well, see the friendly arguments we made earlier on Malaysia and Singapore!!!!!!!
