Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim in a statement urged Najib to explain in detail the terms and conditions of the deal (swap deal between Malaysia and Singapore regarding Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd‘s (KTMB) land in Tanjung Pagar).
“We urge Najib to immediately explain in detail the meaning behind the Points of Agreement (POA) between Singapore and Malaysia.
“We also want to know the new terms and conditions to maximise the land potential in Singapore.
“We also want to know if Najib used the 1990 POA as outlined by (then) finance minister Daim Zainuddin because it did not get Cabinet approval, “ he said.
Describing the settlement as sudden, Anwar said issues involving national sovereignty in a neighbouring country were sensitive and must be handled with care.
He said Najib’s statement on Monday appeared to have shelved several key issues, such as the status of the Tanjung Pagar station, land parcels in Kranji Woodland, Tanjung Pagar and Lots 76-2 Mk16, Lot 249 Mk 4 and Lot 32-10 MK 16.
Anwar added that the government should also explain the actual status of the ongoing water issue with Singapore.

for RM$363 billion$..why not?
najib knows how to make a deal/profits..
so? what does it got to do with malaysia? when the propert land is in singapore? its a win/win situation for BOTH sides
Singapore should also consider swap or purchase the Two Rocks near the Horburg’s lighthouse with or from Malaysia. This is a worthwhile cause so that Naval conflicts with each other is minimised in the future.
hmm.. how much to buy Johor Bahru?
Chris, that’s a good one…lol…or maybe we can build “affordable” housing on one of our ulu island
Wahh please, Singapore is guilty of selling our sovereign territory too. You know why in primary school we learn that “Singapore has no natural resources”?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Island
“in 1957, the Australian government paid the government of Singapore £2.9 million in compensation, a figure based mainly on an estimated value of the phosphate forgone by Singapore.”
We had phosphate as our natural resource. Oops, guess not anymore!
no, the issue is not land, but how to get singapore to invest in iskanda as they have failed to garner good investment, another failure like the cyberjaya.
60-40 is win some, and should iskanda attracts more investment, win more.
malaysia is in deep shit, due to strong ringgit, (becaue obama says some countries maniplulating currency)and low $$$ for exports of oil, palm oil too. Budget deficit since last year and expect to go higher,gov cut spending, where to find money to fund subsidies, reason now they are trying to cut all that, sugar, oil, petrol, housing, etc etc
RM$363bil ? Wa, another devestment by Temasek Holdings is it? How come endless supply of our money? Come from where ah? Casinos is it? :P
Police Report Made Against Najib For KTM Deal
——————————————————————————–
A police report has been lodged against Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak for agreeing to shift Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) from Tanjung Pagar to Woodlands.
Johor Pakatan Rakyat, when lodging the report, alleged that Najib had a vested interest in the move.
The report was filed by the state information chiefs of PKR and PAS at the Johor Baru central police station.
“We suspect Najib has a vested interest in the matter because his decision was sudden, with less than a day of discussion with Singapore.
“He has to explain. Such matters must be presented in Parliament first before a decision is made,” said PKR’s Zabidie Abbas.

NEVER, NEVER invest into Iskanda because you will lose out as their policies and rules changes like the weather. This had been proven true in the past.

There’s one piece of land that Najib and his successors will never manage to sell to or trade with Singapore. It’s the land the mosque opp the Sentosa Gateway sits on. It belongs to Johor. Johor, not MUIS, manages the mosque.
