This is What Happens When...

The country does not have natural resources.

First it was water. During the final years of Mahathir’s rule the water supply issue went to the chopping board almost every year. I will not rant about the water supply issue because we have not been hearing it ever since Abdullah Badawi has taken over Mahathir. Anyway, we have our pathetic Newater which only provides 1% of our water consumption..

This time, Indonesia is not giving us concreting sand on the grounds that it is protecting its environment and borders. Sounds like b***s*** it to me. If they are really that concerned about the environment, they should really do something about the forest fires as well. Of course, Singapore’s at fault too. Stupid of us to put all our eggs into one nest. Anyway, time to look for other sources of concreting sand, and possibly other types of building material.
