It is About Sharing

Singapore introduces ‘unfriendly’ restrictions

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/9/12/nation/2007727&sec=nation
.
Again, Singapore government made life difficult for us. No more special treatment for VIP, VVIP including the Johor royal family and our own High Commissioner in Singapore.
.
See??? Singapore will not think about our feeling every time they want to impose new ruling that affect us. They don’t care. But we Malaysian, I mean our government will have to think ten times before making any new ruling that may affect the Singaporean and in the end they will not impose the new ruling on the basis of neighboring country spirit. What the heck!!!
.
A couple of years ago, the government wanted to impose entrance fee on the Singaporean cars that enter Malaysia. I can’t really remember the amount but for Singaporean, it was not much. I think it was in the region of RM20 per entry. There was quite a big huha in the government. First about the need to implement and second on the amount. In the end, they abort their plan to impose the ruling and till now Singaporean cars enter Malaysia free of charge. They do not pay road tax and yet they are on our road. They enjoy same price of petrol like we do.
.
So, why are we complaining when Singapore impose this new ruling?
.
The report says that:
.
“Wisma Putra sources said the recent ruling would “ruffle some feathers” as Malaysia has been “very accommodating” to requests made by Singapore in the past”
.
My question is, did Singapore ask us to be very accommodating in the first place? I don’t think so. Our government is to be blamed.
