Indonesia acts to curb smuggling of sand to Singapore
the straits times 18 February, 2007
Indonesia bans Singapore from importing sands from Indonesia since 5th of February as it would cause the maritime to suffer and the water territory to shrink. i feel that Indonesia have every right to ban Singapore for importing Indonesia sand as it might cause to compromise the shrinking of the territorial waters and Indonesia will would lose more of its territory when the islands in the border are disappear after sand is taken for Singapore reclamation projects.

I was doubting the reliability of the information provided by the indonesian counterparts. Were their true intentions dircted upon saving their land? Which I don't think is the case because they have plenty of land to spare.
In my opinion, they seem to be raising the demand of sand in Sinagpore so that they could price their sand sky high. This way, they could attain a higher income. Which, on the other hand, would cripple singapore's construction industries.
