SINGAPORE - Malaysia has taken steps to de-escalate tensions arising from its ongoing maritime dispute with Singapore, and has withdrawn a couple of its vessels from the Republic's territorial waters.

But one ship still remains in Singapore's waters as of Wednesday (Dec 12), and Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said he strongly urged Malaysia to withdraw completely, adding that the vessel's presence creates "unnecessary risks" and could lead to "accidental escalation on the ground".

They are following SOP. Must wait for orders from Superior. No orders then just wait.

Yes, the orders came through. Two ships gone home liao.

Even if american sold them parts, they need source code from US before can use the weapons. I saw those F-18's doing practice flights while travelling on the highway.
The source code thing is one reason why malaysia refrain buying american weapons.

I am guessing the Americans don't really trust the mudlanders.

Well said! They are still eyeing the Kra canal project.

Kra canal will only work if canal start near bangkok. And that is unlikely due to mountainous terrain. If its further south, whole point of canal will fail.

Let the 'accidental escalation on the ground' happen. If Mudland withdraws two ship, what should Sinkapore do to show good faith on the issue of ILS? Let's not forget it was Khaw who started this escalation with Mudland with the ILS issue. There is NO reason for a secondary airport to have an ILS. Khaw was stirring up shit. Looks like he is in the Kee Chiu camp.

Khaw has demonstrated that he has no interest to de-escalate; that's why he is doing nothing to reciprocate.

The policeman should seize this opportunity to reciprocate Mudland's gesture; I don't think Kee Chiu will dare to attack the policeman. If the Ah Heng wants to be PM, then he better step up and seize the initiative instead of letting Kee Chiu bulldoze him again.

"Singaporeans have to be fully aware of these developments. While we seek cooperation and friendship with other countries, we must never let other countries take advantage of us."

When our Terrex military vehicles were seized and detained in HK, MIW also cant do anything. Want to challenge President Xi?

"Singaporeans have to be fully aware of these developments.

Agree but definitely not via a social platform like Facebook or by any/many disgraceful or HoLEE persons.

"While we seek cooperation and friendship with other countries, we must never let other countries take advantage of us." When our Terrex military vehicles were seized and detained in HK, MIW also cant do anything. Want to challenge President Xi?

Agree. National leaders must act to safeguard the interest of the citizens and the country. Failure to do so regardless of their decisions and actions should deem them as incompetent and unfit for office. National leaders ARE accountable to the people.

Quick quick. We must mobilize the maids to carry the full packs for war effort.

SINGAPORE (Bernama): Singapore has filed a declaration under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) to ensure that Malaysia does not unilaterally commence third-party arbitration or adjudication against the republic over their ongoing maritime boundary dispute.
Singapore, likewise, cannot unilaterally commence third-party arbitration or adjudication against Malaysia either.

A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) spokesman said in a statement the Singapore government filed the declaration on Wednesday (Dec c12) under Article 298(1)(a) of Unclos. The MFA said Singapore has informed Malaysia that it has filed the declaration.
“This declaration means that other States Parties to Unclos cannot unilaterally commence third-party arbitration or adjudication against Singapore in respect of maritime boundary disputes.

“Singapore likewise cannot unilaterally commence third-party arbitration or adjudication against other States Parties for such disputes,” the MFA spokesman said in a statement responding to media queries on the declaration.
The spokesman said Singapore believes that maritime boundary delimitation disputes are best resolved through negotiations in order to reach an amicable settlement acceptable to all the parties.
However, the spokesman said, “If this cannot be achieved, Singapore is prepared to settle such a dispute by recourse to an appropriate international third-party dispute settlement procedure, on terms mutually agreed to by the parties”.
The MFA said that “should a dispute arise that cannot be resolved through negotiations, Singapore will work with the other States Parties to agree on the choice of forum and the specific issues to be decided, in order that the matter can be submitted to arbitration or adjudication.
“This is preferable to one party taking another unilaterally to arbitration or adjudication, without prior mutual agreement on these key issues,” it said.
According to the MFA, many States Parties to Unclos, such as France, Canada, Italy, Spain, Australia and Thailand, have made similar declarations.
Representatives of Singapore and Malaysia are scheduled to meet in the second week of January 2019 to discuss and exchange views on their ongoing maritime boundary dispute.
“Singapore hopes that by engaging each other, the two governments will reach a swift and amicable resolution, in accordance with international law,” the MFA said.
It also said that “Singapore remains committed to peaceful settlement of disputes”.
“Singapore will continue to uphold international law and remains committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with international law.”
Singapore and Malaysia are involved in a maritime border row, with the former claiming that Malaysia's extension of its Johor Baru port limits has encroached into the republic's territorial waters off Tuas. – Bernama

Malaysia just wants to test the mettle of the new leaders, whether or not they can be bullied and whether they can get something out from sinkieland. if we don't stand our ground in this small pickle, life is going to be way tougher in the future
