I agree with Henry Tan to let the International Court of Justice settle the Pulau Batu Putih issue. Both Malaysia and Singapore should cool down. The world is in enough havoc at the moment without both countries having to face yet another crisis in Asean. Bush is after Iraq. That's bad enough for the world economy. I don't think the Asean economy and especially the Malaysian economy can take another round of war-like tension. Politicians should heed the difficult situation.

Since both have openly agreed to let ICJ decide, the next thing is to pick a date to sign the agreement. How difficult can that be, that there is a need to create unnecessary (and sometimes childish) tension? Please stop bickering over when and where to sign the agreement. Agree on a date and place and sign it. Then we can go back to improving our economy while waiting for the ICJ proceedings.
