Singapore water issue could have been resolved had he been given more time as PM, says Dr M

PETALING JAYA: The water issue between Malaysia and Singapore could have been resolved if he had been given enough time as Prime Minister, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The former premier said that the longstanding issue of selling raw water to Singapore at three sen per 1,000 gallons for 61 years could have been resolved if firm action had been taken during negotiations to settle on a new price.
