*********** 032993A.ENV *********** Country: Malaysia, Singapore News article on the decision of Malaysia and Singapore to attempt to stop the dumping of sludge in the Malacca Straits. As you know, the Navy now has a base in Singapore at the eastern terminus of the Strait. The problem stems from tankers dumping sludge etc. prior to their entry into Singapore for repairs. It is hoped that Indonesia, which has the southern side of the strait will come in on the talks. ************** END Msg. A.ENV **************
