He did it before, and he WILL do it again! Mahathir strikes again! Mahathir on his decision to withdraw his appeal on the ownership of Pedra Branca after the International Court of Justice granted Singapore sovereignty over the island in 2008. He then decided to talk about well, water cost again lol. 😂

Go to mothership to read the full information. As Mothership rightfully puts it on their Facebook caption, "Just Mahathir being Mahathir." I'll highlight his key comments about Singapore below.

Singapore has become "a foreign country"

Mahathir also commented further on Singapore in his lengthy Facebook post.

He said that Malaysia has a "liberal policy" on land ownership, which makes it vulnerable to losing its rights over lands owned by foreigners.

"If foreigners own a large part of the land, then the country, physically, is not owned by the citizens," he wrote.

"That's what happened to Singapore."

He added that Singapore was a Malay land, but today, it has apparently become a "foreign country".

Malaysia "sold" parts of the country to Singapore

Another point that Mahathir raised in the post was that one of the ways to lose a country is to sell its sand or water to others.

"If the sand that was sold off to other countries was used for their reclamation and expansion, then it's the same as selling off parts of our country to others," he wrote.

"We sold Singapore," he said, referring to the two countries' past history. He also said the land and water sold to Singapore made the island bigger, and it is now owned by Singaporeans, developed under the Singapore government.

"This is the reason why Malaysia prohibits the selling of our land, and disputed the selling of water to other nations."

Unfortunately, he said, "some administrations of the Malaysian government" are willing to sell raw water for three cents per 1,000 gallons to foreign countries "because they are lazy or scared to demand their rights".

The nonagenarian said on his Facebook that "a dignified nation must uphold its promise. Only a nation with no dignity will break promises"

"What is final is final. If a nation does not uphold its promises, no country would want to make agreements with that nation. It would be a pariah state," he added.
