"Singapore, Malaysia will 'always have a unique place for each other in our hearts': PM Lee"
and
"Singapore, Malaysia hold differing views on water issue; willing to discuss further: MFA"
Abang n adik as they say in Malay: Elder brother n younger brother.
That is the relationship Msia n Sgp hv. Though who should b the elder (or competitively: Big) n who should b the younger (or "Little") brother can sometimes b contentious!
Land n resoureces wise, Msia is Abang for sure.
On per capita GDP, Sgp is THE Abang by miles!!
Key is this: we r FAMILY! We were once together n then had a divorce in not too am acrimonious manner. Do, the general feeling is OK lah!
Just that some issues can b a bit more emotional than others. Or tornier than most. The Water Agreement is one for sure.
Dr M may want to cut us some slack n leave this alone while focusing on fixing institutional reform that is called: "Msia's 2nd chance offered to him".
Fixing Sgp should b off the agenda. In fact, get Sgp to pay for some of the fixing through joint projects, leaving the HSR project aside, makes good sense!
As long as there r communications that avoid attacking each other m hence locked each other in a position of not able to gracefully step off stage, Msia n Sgp can b Abang n Adik conveniently switching frictionlessly!!
