Watch out, Singapore! The Johor palace has its own standing army. But if they want to revive the issue legally just make sure to leave the AG and his team of lame-brains behind. Their handling of the case at ICJ brings us shame. http://www.ctchoolaw.********.com/

Singapore has everything to gain by going to the ICJ while Malaysia everything to lose. It was a stupid decision for Malaysia to agree to go to the ICJ, nothing short of handling it to Singapore on a silver platter. Or was it the idea to placate Singapore? When did we beat Singapore in anything anyway? At least leaving the island status quo, we still can claim that we owe it and maybe Najib can keep it as his submarine base or parhaps his brother can built an off-shore secret bank on it in for him and his Umno cronies to keep their ill gotton wealth they stole from us.

We are setting the stage for a long term foreign policy conflict with Singapore. Singapore will demand one billion cu. ft. of sand for the return and lease back of Pedra Branca. That is the price!

Under Singapore, the island worth very much more in value, and being cared for.

Under Malaysia and governed by UMNO, worthless for any development, except if money roll into their personal accounts can be guaranteed.

Tuanku, Malaysia under AMNO did jackshit for Pulau Batu Putih for decades but Spore developed it as they had foresight. Also some Ar*ehole wrote a letter that Msia will not make any claim on the piece of rock. So I think maybe Tuanku should blame AMNO and expel them from Johor for betraying Johor and Malaysia. AMNO derhaka kepada Tuanku, Johor dan Malaysia. Kasi Buang Negeri Johor

Why shed tears over a piece of rock.

Look at the bigger picture, Malaysia.

You may loss Sabah to the people of the Southern Philippines (Moros) in the near future.

Remember 'Abu Savap'.

Malaysia is still paying 1,000 dollar to the descendents of the Sulu Sultan over the perpetual lease of Sabah from the Sulu Sultan.

Tell the sultan that such a statement is inconsistent with the facts. In short, it was a stupid statement. Nobody wants to say it, so I will. Concentrate on what you have, not on what you have lost.

Tuanku, don't weep over Pulau Batu Putih. It was due to short sighted of one of your corrupted JCS(former S.S). But, look around you, ask yourself why Singapore Public Utilities Board has stationed in Skudai, Gunung Pulai, worse administer Pulau Pisang. Shove them out first then talk about regaining Batu Puteh.

I wish to remind the sultan of johor, y now ?? y only now that u spoke ??. The issue has been brought up ages ago on the PBP. U should have taken initiative through ur state secretary to make sure that the we have all the necessary documents to support out case. Y speak now ? U should have spoken years ago even before the case was brought up to ICJ. The issue is that the island is located in Johor waters in which the sultanate should have records relating to it or the state government should have a copy. Since the sultan is the ruler of johor, his majesty should have taken proactive action and initiative to personally pursue the matter with his palace officials in searching and obtaining the right documents. To do it now is like a malay proverb. Nasi sudah menjadi bubur. !

Remember Tuanku what goes around comes around. The caddy, Gomez slapping, Dist, Officer and OCPD's push up when you visited the Dist's and all that. If you were interested in the Island and also the state of Johore you would not have done all these. You and your sons used to terrorise the people in JB instead of looking after the state. All the mosques in Johor offer special prayers to you and your family, but actually what have you done for the people there. Why not you protest but telling your family members not to go on masive shopping spree in Orchard Road Singapore. Now the nation's economy is down cos of petrol prices going up. Who pays for all the petrol to be used in all you imported bikes and your Feraries and Lambo's. How about your Humvees. Now the kembara Mahkota is coming. Who is goin to foot the bill of your 50 something big bikes in your entourage. Please Tuanku do something that your rakyat will remember you off. I suggest you put off the Kembara Mahkota until this crisis is setteld.

"Both countries have pledged to abide by the decision of the ICJ, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, whose decision is final and not subject to appeal".

If the decision had been in Malaysia's favor and Singapore is the one rattling out like the JB Sultan, guess what would be the reaction of the UMNO group?
If I were in that Johor's Menteri Besar Abdul Ghani Othman’s shoes when asked to comment on the sultan’s statement, I too would have lifted up my sarong and run for a hiding place. How to give a sensible answer to a difficult situation?

MIND YOUR WORDS PEOPLE. Have some respect for The Sultan of Johore.
If you are not from Johore, try to refrain from commenting as for the Johoreans The Pulau Batu Putih IS a piece of Johore land.

It was the work of MALAYSIA'S INCOMPETENT TEAM at the Hague that led to the loss of the island. They failed to create a doubt to the letter made available by Singapore concoctedly signed by a former Johore Acting State Secretary stating we Johore was not claiming rights to the tiny island. On top of that we have had Federal ministers from Johore championing the result at the Hague as an achievement. It won't take HRH The Sultan to do what is necessary, if I have the authority I myself will kick these good for nothing Johore ministers at their butts, and out of the state.

Simple common sense will say, we need to double check with the Chief Minister of Johore then and the Palace for that matter, unless someone has gotten fat in the pocket again for closing one eye on the former big ASS ( How appropriate, Acting State Secretary)letter.

You don't need to be a great lawyer to cast a doubt in their minds that what authority does this ' acting' guy has had to be able to declare the Island is not of Johore's.

What rights do the federal ministers have to let a JOHORE island go without defending< and then claimed it's a fair decision? Just because you carry a Foreign Minister's badge on your chest above the pocket, that does not give you the right to 'sell' JOHORE land to Singapore. By the way, have you had the balls to see the Sultan yourself to explain? If you have no or little guts you can bring in ministers like Shahril and Azalina who have had a fair share of supporting to your songs of pride, aka Proud Malaysian Achievement.

It's fair you say Rais Yatim? How about passing back Negeri Sembilan to the Minangkabau's in Sumatera you fool!

P/S. I did not touch the role of the current PM in this issue as you can see as you'd be wasting your time too. We all know he's in his own wonderland sleeping and not doing anything as usual! Guess why all his ministers are saying with Dollah at the helm it's democracy at work! By the way, if you guys still need more, how about selling langkawi and Pangkor to the Kingdom of Thailand huh?
