I mean I don't know anything about Singapore, apart from that it is a small place in Asia. What was that stuff about sand? He seemed very threatened by sand, and I presume if you already knew about Singapore you'd know why, for example, sand was bad.

Sand didn't play a big part in the interview. I think Malaysia objected to Singapore getting more sand because Malaysia didn't want Singapore to use the sand to get even bigger, but I'm not sure how serious an issue this is.
