7The 1962 agreement gave Singapore the right to draw water from Johor River.Ny fifanarahana tamin'ny 1962 dia nanome alàlana an'i Singapore hisintona rano tsy voadio avy amin'ny reniranon'i Johor.

9The agreement is valid for 99 years.Fifanarahana manan-kery mandritry ny 99 taona.
10Since the first water agreement will end on 2011, former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad asks through his popular blog if the current government is thinking of renegotiating the agreement in order to come up with a better deal:Hifarana ilay fifanarahana voalohany amin'ny 2011, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Praiminisitra teo aloha dia manontany ao amin'ny blaoginy be mpanaraka tokoa raha toa ny governemanta amin'izao fotoana mba mihevitra ny hamerina indray ny dinika momba ‘ilay fifanarahana mba hahatongavana amin'ny tolotra tsaratsara kokoa:

12Have we thought about extending the 2011 treaty or not extending it or negotiating a new water supply agreement?Efa nihevitra ny hanalava na tsia ny fifanarahan'ny 2011 ve isika na hamerina hidinika fifanarahana vaovao iray momba ny rano?
13Are we going to be charitable again and sell raw water at 3 sen per thousand gallons to our rich neighbour?Hanao mahantra be fiantrana eto indray ve isika ka hivarotra rano tsy voadio amin'ny 3 cents ny 1000 galona ho an'ny mpanankarena mifanolo-bodirindrina amintsika?

15But what is the cost to the people of Malaysia.Nefa kosa mitondra inona amin'ny vahoakan'i Malezia.
16Blogger Kent Moo notes that the former leader “unleashes a tidal wave of sarcasm over the issue of selling water to Singapore, and in the process drowns his successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.”Kent Moo, mpitoraka blaogy, dia manamarika ny mpitondra teo aloha dia nanainga “onjan'eso momba ny resaka fivarotana rano amin'i Singapore, ary izany fomba fanao izany dia mandrendrika ny mpandimby azy, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.”

19It is really unreasonable to continue supplying raw water to Singapore if the return profit is totally unacceptable.Tsy dia mifanaraka loatra amin'ny tokony ho izy ny hanohizana mamatsy rano tsy voadio an'i Singapore raha tsy mifanaraka velively amin'izany ny tombontsoa azo avy aminy.

24Ifanonline also thinks that water prices to be discussed in the deal should reflect the current market pricesIfanonline koa dia mihevitra fa ny vidin-drano hotapahana mandritry ny fifanarahana dia tokony hahitàna taratra ny sanda mihatra eny an-tsena amin'izao fotoana
25It is a simple common sense.Fahatsapana faran'izay tsotra iraisan'ny rehetra io.
26Any layman would know that if there is any new agreement to sell water to Singapore, there should be new prices according to the current market.Na iza na iza doa tokony hahafantatra daholo fa raha misy fifanarahana vaovao hivarotana rano amin'i Singapore, dia tokony hisy vidiny vaovao mifanaraka amin'ny hita eo amin'ny tsena amin'izao fotoana.

32Since Malaysia feel that the water price is unfair, and Singapore is happy to let the agreement lapse, isn't this win-win?Rehefa mahatsapa i Malezia fa tsy izy mihitsy ny vidin-drano, ary i Singapore kosa faly hanadaboka ny fifanarahana, tsy tombontsoan'ny andaniny sy ny ankilany ve izany?
33If Singapore does not have enough NEWater after 2011, that is Singapore's own doing, right?Raha tsy manana ranoVOADIO sahaza i Singapore aorian'ny 2011, an'i Singapore manokana izany, sa tsy izany?

41Singapore's Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts published a primer in 2003 to clarify the issues surrounding the Malaysia-Singapore water agreements.Ny Ministeran'ny Fampahalalam-baovao, Fifandraisana sy ny Zavakanto any Singaporedia namoaka bokikely iray tamin'ny 2003 mba ho fanampim-panazavana momba ny resaka manodidina ny fifanarahana rano Malezia-Singapore.
42In this primer, Singapore insists that it has been fair in dealing with Malaysia regarding the water dealsAo anatin'io bokikely io, Singapore dia manindry mafy fa mifandanja tsara ny fifanarahana tamin'ni Malezia raha ny tolotra rano no atao resaka.
43The water dispute is not about money but Singapore's existence as a sovereign nation.Ny olana momba ny rano tsy resa-bola fotsiny fa ny fisian'i Singapore ho firenena manana fiandrianana mihitsy.
44The Water Agreements are part of the Separation Agreement which guarantees Singapore's existence as an independent nation.Ireo Fifanarahana momba ny Rano dia tafiditra ao anatin'ny Fifanarahana Fisintahana izay miantoka ny maha firenena manana ny fiandrianany an'i Singapore.
45If the terms of the Water Agreements can be changed by Malaysia at will, then Singapore's independence too could be called into question.Raha azon'i Malezia ovàna araka izay itiavany azy ny votoatin'ny Fifanarahana momba ny Rano, dia mampametra-panontaniana koa ny momba ny fizakantenan'i Singapore.
46This is the root dispute.Izay no tena fototry ny fifandirana.
47The issue is not how much we pay, but how any price revision is decided upon.Ny olana dia tsy ny hoe ohatrinona no alohantsika, fa ny hoe ahoana no fomba nanapahana ny fanitsiana ny sanda.
48The Water Agreements contain specific provisions on when the price can be revised and how the revisions should be computed.Ny Fifanarahana momba ny Rano dia ahitàna andalana manokana mikasika ny hoe rehefa fotoana manao ahoana no azo anitsiana ny sandany ary ahoana no hikajiana ny fanitsiana.
49Price revision cannot be at the whim and fancy of a particular party.Ny fanitsiana ny sanda dia tsy araka izay maha-diavolana ny fon'ny andaniny na ny ankilany manokana.
50If Malaysia can change the terms of agreements solemnly entered into at will, where is the sanctity of agreements?Raha toa MAlezia faka manova samirery ny votoatin'ny fifanarahana nekeny an-tsitrapo, aiza ny hasin'ireo fifanekena?
51Any future agreement we enter into with Malaysia will have no value.Izay fifanarahana amin'ny ho avy rehetra hataontsika miaraka amin'i Malezia dia tsy hisy hanana ny lanjany.
52Rajan Rishyakaran blames Malaysia's Mahathir for the stalled negotiations between Singapore and MalaysiaRajan Rishyakaran dia manakiana an'i Mahathir avy any Malezia ho nampikatso ny fifampidinihana teo amin'i Singapore sy Malaysia
53Why should Singapore agree to pay significantly more on water when they get absolutely nothing in return?Nahoana i Singapore no tokony hanaiky handoa vola bebe kokoa amin'ny rano raha tsy mahazo na inona na inona ho tambiny ry zareo?
54Certainly, even under Mahathir's price of raw water, Malaysian raw water will still be cheaper than self-sufficiency: but capitulating to Mahathir's demand sets a negative precedent on Singapore.Ekena tanteraka, na tamin'ny vidin'ny rano tsy voadio tamin'ny andron'i Mahathir aza, mbola mora kokoa ny vidin'ny rano tsy voadion-dry zareo Maleziana raha mitaha amin'ny fizakan-tena: saingy ny hilefitra amin'ny fangatahan'i Mahathir dia fiandohana ohatra ratsy any Singapore.
55Because of Mahathir's inability to compromise, unreasonableness and impatience with Singapore, Singapore and Malaysia is stuck in a lose-lose situation.Noho ny tsy fahaizan'i Mahathir mitady marimaritra iraisana, ny fanaovan-javatra tsy amim-piheverana sy ny tsy fananany faharetana miaraka amin'i Singapore, samy maty antoka izao i Singapore sy Malezia.
56Singapore's dependence on imported water has forced it to maximize new technologies in order to produce its own water supply.Ny fiankinan-dohan'i Singapore amin'ny rano hafarana dia nanery azy hanamafy ny teknolojia vaovao mba hamokarana ny filàny manokana ara-drano.
57It has developed NEWater (reclaimed water) and it recently constructed the biggest desalination plant in Asia.Nanangana ny NEWater (avy amin'ny ranony efa niasa) izy ary tsy ela akory izay dia nanangana ny ozinina lehibe indrindra any Azia ho fanasarahana ny rano sy ny sira avy amin'ny ranomasina.
