after reading today's newspaper, i wanted to blog about this. The ongoing case of sovereignty between Malaysia and Singapore over the island Pedra Branca. I have to admit that from what i have read about the case, both sides put up a relatively good argument. However, as recent information has surfaced putting to doubt the credibility of the evidence produced by the Malaysian team, it is more or less safe to say that Singapore would most likely win this case.

Number one, one should not use blogs made by unknown authors as evidence in court cases, especially not in the International Court of Justice. In addition, one should always double-check information lifted from sources and do a background check on these sources so that they are credible. This clearly shows that the Malaysian team was not thoroughly prepared for the case and also shows the amount of commitment they have towards this case. Since they are not willing to commit to the case, why should they gain sovereignty over the island?

another thing which just surfaced recently inyesterday's newspaper, singapore fishing trawlers were detained in International waters. Why? They were no where near the territorial waters of Malaysia and yet they were detained by the Malaysian Navy.. Maybe its because some people in the navy can't count..maybe.. its not as though they were dumping toxic waste into your precious waters so as to harm the "marine ecosystem" or lack of.. those boats are just fishing trawlers.. why did they have to be detained?

kiss Pedra Branca goodbye Malaysia..
