Expansion on ideas

POLITICS:
I find it incredibly interesting about how something like water can effect politics. Ever heard of the Malaysia-Singapore water treaty? Well, its basically about how Malaysia supplies Singapore with water as they don't have enough. This has caused lots of controversy among Malaysians as they think that the government should be giving them the extra water instead.
However, Malaysia, through the fact that they control Singapore's supply of water, is able to blackmail Singapore into agreeing with everything they say by saying that if they don't, they will cut their water supply. Obviously, the Malaysian government enjoys having this privilege, who wouldn't ?
(to be continued....)
