Anyone following the news will know that Singapore Mentor Minister, is currently in Malaysia, visiting state officers and government officials. Initially, it was a great news for everyone as the outcome of the visit is very positive and it could signal more cooperation between the two country.
However, this morning, there was a statement from the Malaysia ruling party, UMNO that they will rather burn the bridge than to sell sands to Singapore.
A lot of people will wonder why the ruling party, UMNO hated Singapore so much. There has been no war between them and no direct confrontation. But out of nothing, there will be quote on Singapore.
The issue is not selling sand to Singapore but making use of Singapore as an external enemy to galvanise support for the larger agenda of Malay unity therefore perpetuating Ketuanan Melayu policy. You see Singapore is seen a Chinese bastion in Malay Archipelago and a bloody thorn in their behinds.
This is politic afterall...
