Not in a million years would Pak Lah could have imagine what 2008 could have brought him. I think he needs to 'mandi bunga' to get rid of the bad feng shui. This year is most probably the worst year that he had ever been in his career. He just lead BN to its worst performing General Election. He lost 5 states to the opposition and now Pulau Batu Putih has gone to Singapore. Many are blaming the Malaysian team for the loss for not presenting their case well. But what makes me piss off is the fact that a very important letter validifying the claim could not be found by the team eventhough they admitted on the existence of the letter. I think Karpal Singh was right by saying that why Malaysia even dare to present the case to ICJ if we do not have sufficient document to defend with. The island is in dispute for 28 years. My assumption is that under Dr M's era, he knew Malaysia could lost the case and therefore he never tries to settle it with ICJ. Just let it be. Better quarrel than losing our sovereignity. And then Pak Lah came along. He blindly accepted Singapore's proposal to settle this with ICJ without knowing we are not well prepared, and wallaah.. we officially lost an Island. In consolation, we get a rock. Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim described the judgment as a "win-win" situation. I agree with that statement, win-win for Singapore.
