• SG-Malaysia relationship, with Mahathir as Malaysian PM again.

    Mahathir and Singapore

    Mahathir is anti-Singapore. It started when he was a medical student in SG. He had directed a Chinese taxi driver to take him to the home of a friend but was taken to the servants’ quarter of the friend’s house. He felt insulted and racially
    discriminated. He bears a grudge against Chinese-majority SG to this day.

    He still blames the Tengku for allowing SG to become an independent nation. He would like to see SG fail to make it and return to the fold of Malaysia again. His strategy against SG is simple. Isolate and by-pass it.

    When he was PM from 1981-2003, he gave a lot of problems to SG.
    Water agreement, railway land, replacing causeway with bridge.
    Why does he want to replace the causeway with a bridge? He wants the sea traffic to by-pass Singapore. With the causeway gone, sea traffic can cut across the Straits of Johor to the Far East, by-passing Singapore.

    He is still sore about what have been done by his two successors on his strategy against SG. Abdullah scrapped his bridge. Najib gave up the Malayan Railway land. Now back in power, he wants to continue with his strategy to isolate and by-pass SG. With
    this in mind, people will understand and can even predict his decisions correctly.

    Why was he so quick in scrapping the HSR? Its simple. The HSR will extend and enhance the link between the island and the peninsular. Ultimately, it will connect Singapore to China. This is most undesirable to Mahathir. He wants Chinese-majority SG
    isolated and surrounded by a solid sea of Malay-Muslims, not linked up with over a billion Chinese in China.

    Mahathir will not scrap the ECRL. Whatever reasons he may give publicly, privately his thinking is this. The ECRL has the potential for the sea traffic to by-pass SG. Ships will unload at Port Klang, the goods will be transported by rail to Port Kuantan
    and reloaded for ships to the Far East. This is a longer and land-based version of the Kra Canal but unlike Kra, it is not Thai but Malaysian. If this succeeds, the scent of victory will be sweeter for him, knowing that SG has invested a huge amount on a
    huge new port at the north-western tip of the island at Tuas.

    Its going to be hard time for SG. The only saving grace for SG is that Mahathir will not last long.

    Its back to the abang-adek relationship again, with Malaysia being the big abang and Singapore the little adek.

    Look how he is mistreating Singapore again.

    1. He unilaterally announced the scrapping of the HSR, without discussing with Singapore first, knowing fully well this is a bilateral project.

    2. Next, he meddled with the politics of SG by suggesting that Singaporeans should also change their govt as Malaysians did.

    Singapore should give Mahathir a big bang.
