exactly, this isn't the stock mkt where one can decide to cut losses but a contract that sacrosanct between two govts, till the other party gives official notice, else it not worth the paper that it's signed on.
if you sign a contract and renege on it, the contractor can take you to court for damages for some serious butt fucking - if he fucks up then the ld clause etc is in your favour as it works both ways - simple as that. just like the pedra branca case; it ain't over till the fat lady sings or one party taps out.
so u pin ur hopes on this "contract" and ur ability to sue the other party in some sort of court,what court?some kangaroo court? so u might somehow someday claw back ur losses back into the black?its kinda like trying to sue the mafia,or pablo escobar,or the mexican cartel or al qaeda or another country for that matter,u can award all the damages u want 6 million per soul killed in a terrorist attack and make all kinds of hullaballoo,u know at the end of the day u aint gonna see a dime.why didnt PAP sue malaysia over the clob incident or
a contract that is sacrosanct?what is that?iv never heard of such a thing,why do people keep clinging on to such a notion?all throughout the course of human history,if u studied history and war and especially in the world of finance and business,u would know that contracts,treaties,agreements,leases are made to be broken,sure there might be some fallout maybe a little financial or political for the more serious cases,but nothing big just a tap on the wrists,but unless u are willing to go to war for it or die for it,most of the time it will only result in the losers sucking thumb and going home.all of people,trump supporters should know the best,how many contracts and promises hes broken,how many investors and backers and believers his screwed in the ass over the course of a lifetime.1,200 lawsuits settled out of court,and all he got was nothing more than a tap on the wrists.
there is no such thing as a sacrosanct contract,there is only risk and trust,and risk management,and u understanding the risks when u undertook the contract signed ur name on the line and how prepared u are to get farked in the ass.thats only pappies are that stupid to sign the CECA agreement,u think the malaysians are that stupid to sign anything they cant worm their way out of?everything in this world is a contract,money is a contract between me the bearer of the note and the seller of goods and services,fixed deposit is a contract between me and the bank,bonds are a contract between me and the government who issued it
