Better neighbours

摘要

For most neighbouring countries, an v -T agreement on the use of a shared waterway, some big cross-border investments or talks on remodelling a border crossing would be workaday, technical issues. For Singapore and Malaysia, they are fraught. Indeed, since Singapore split acrimoniously from Malaysia in 1965, the two have argued over just about everything. All the more remarkable, then, that they have agreed to all three steps in recent months and are tackling their other disputes.
