..or Pedro Branca? ICJ says its SINKAPORE one!!!!
You know hor..so much headache already. Malaysia's Johore say that the Batu belongs to them and Sinkapore says it is theirs. So LKY's people renovated the lighthouse which was built by the East India Company in 1851. It was named after their hydrographer, Capt. James Horsburgh.
So the small quarrel began. Small got big and bigger. So big, that someone says we go to UN!
Yah, get the ICJ (International Court of Justice) with so many big,big laywers to decide.
Last night, I heard the verdict. Sinkapore got to own the rock where the lighthouse stands.
We managed to get the two little stones also near Pedro Branca. Ours is Pulau Batu Puteh.
So, I also read that some poor fishermen in Johore would be very dissapointed. They say that there got plenty fishes wan. Maybe including John Dory fish!
So I will ask them to sing some peaceful song to give them hope and take things "IN A CALM MANNER" and RESPECT ICJ's decision. So let us all sing this song to de-stress and enjoy the two small ROCKS that we have got! At high tide, only ten seagulls can stand on!
It is an 1955 oldie sung by Bill Halley and his Comet. It is called:-
Rock Around The Clock

ROCK AROUND HORSBURGH
(please sing to the tune of "Rock Around the Clock")
One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock,
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock,
We're gonna rock around lighthouse tonight.
Jump on your sampan and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rock around the rock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around South Ledge tonight.
When the clock strikes two, three and four,
We'll ask everyone,whether it is right?
There's even a fake blogsite called Leuthcturm3.,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around Middle Rocks tonight.
(instrumental)
When the chimes ring five, six and seven,
I.C.J. say's is now, Sinkapore's!,
Why they got Big rock, we got small rock,,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna cross,the Straits, to see LKY tonight.
When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
We're gonna rock around the rock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the rock tonight.
(instrumental)
When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then,
Start a callin' I.C.J. again.
We're begging for Batu Puteh tonight,
We're gonna cry, cry, cry, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna blame, gonna frust, around the Rock tonight.
