Why are Malaysians so jealous of people that are rich?

His comments, made in Parliament on Friday (Mar 1) during a debate on his ministry’s budget, came a day after Dr Mahathir said that it did not make sense for a wealthy country like Singapore to still be buying water from Malaysia at such a low price of 3 sen per 1,000 gallons.

Speaking at the Johor Government Retreat with the Federal Cabinet in Putrajaya on Thursday, Dr Mahathir said Singapore has grown rapidly because of Malaysia’s supply of water to the Republic.

Dr Balakrishnan said that these comments were a “red herring”.

SINGAPORE — Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said he will leave it to Singaporeans to decide whether the Republic has been “fair” or “morally wrong’ – in the words of Malaysian premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad – in the pricing of water.

Nevertheless, in a firm rebuttal to Dr Mahathir’s “red herring” which sought to paint Singapore as a “rich nation” paying its poorer neighbour an “unreasonable rate” for water, he pointed out that Singapore and Malaysia “have chosen different fundamental philosophies of governance and taken different paths of development”.

Among other things, Singapore has become successful by building a multi-racial, meritocratic society, and having zero tolerance towards corruption, Dr Balakrishnan noted.

Moreover, Singapore honours its international agreements and commitments.

“As a result, businesses have the confidence to invest and grow in Singapore,” he said.

Dr Balakrishnan went on to say: “I will let Members of the House and fellow Singaporeans outside decide for yourselves whether we have been ‘fair’ or, to quote Dr Mahathir whether we have been ‘morally wrong’. I think the answer is obvious.”

Ya but Mahathir was not saying for Singaporeans but for themselves. His mentality is wrong to say Spore is rich and so it’s unfair to them when it’s based on contract.

No choice lah because if side with one enemy to get rid of another enemy, you never know when and how the enemy will turn on us once they took control.

How come singapore ktm land agreement can be revised?

 

[ChristJohnny]

What do you expect from warriors. Best is no need to work and still got free money to spend..... IQ and RACE.
Getting rich need a lot of hard work and economic intelligence. But Warriors and Neh seemed to have lack both attributes. Easy … blame everyone but themselves.

How come singapore ktm land agreement can be revised?

Because it’s mutually beneficial to both parties to sort out the ktm land issue. Whereas a water price increase obviously only benefits mudland.
