Now, Singapore response it based on the scientific basis reports carried out by both countries.

“This is confirmed by results from technical studies commissioned separately by both the Malaysian Government and the Singapore Government as part of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea dispute settlement proceedings on Singapore’s land reclamation works at Pulau Tekong and Tuas View Extension.”

“A coastal hydraulic study undertaken by Malaysia’s Drainage and Irrigation Department in September 2002 on the impact of Singapore’s reclamation works concluded that there were no appreciable changes to the water levels within the Straits of Johor.”

“It also cited a separate environmental impact assessment report prepared by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia commissioned by the Malaysian Government which reported similar findings.”

“Technical studies commissioned separately by the Singapore Government in 2003 also reached the same conclusions.

“In fact, based on the results of these studies, the Group of Experts which both governments appointed to study the impact of the reclamation works had recommended that it would not be necessary for the flood impact to be further assessed by the technical consultant appointed for the Joint Study. This was accepted by both governments,”

When “disasters” happened in Malaysia, the so-called leaders will always blame on something. It sounds like they are 101% perfect; no mistakes can be found on their administration.

• Many snatch thefts - blame women wear expensive clothes and carry expensive handbag.
• CCTV “focus” onto the thighs of a young female journalist - blame she wear sexy in house.
• High crime rates - blame Malaysians careless to their properties.

Does it can be considered as Defamatory to a country? Let’s the legal experts think about it.

Those leaders just showed to the World how well educated Malaysia leaders are! When they made such remarks, they “shout” without any scientific evidences. See, our so-called leaders slapped all Malaysians in front of the World and Singapore.Why slapped all Malaysians? Just take a little time think about it.
