<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I AM encouraged to see the recent renewal of strong ties between Singapore and Malaysia. With Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's visit to Singapore, and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's reciprocal visit to many parts of Malaysia, I sense a genuine desire to establish new levels of diplomatic relations and economic ties.
I strongly support MM Lee's call for cooperation between the two governments to be wide-ranging, consistent and stable. Such a level of solidarity cannot be achieved overnight, and may even take years. Both governments should try to take the initiative, and not wait for the other side to start. They could work on things that are relatively easy to implement, which will yield results of mutual benefit.
As a sign of our sincerity in achieving stronger ties, I urge Singapore to take the lead. In line with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's call to shun protectionism and embrace free trade (especially among Asean member countries), I wonder if we could lift the three-quarter petrol tank rule now.
I believe the timing is right for this decision. It would send a positive signal to the Malaysian government. I also believe many Singaporeans would welcome this decision. Danny Lee

Balls. Over my dead body. Have you forgotten the excuse the gahmen gave to place this rule? Yes, the petrol in mudland is of inferior quality, not unleaded and will cause pollution if used back home. In reality, it is created to cause hardship and to prevent our petrol tax $$$ going out of the country. Keep dreaming brother. PAP will never rescind this rule. Where will they get the money to lose and feed them comfortably hah!
