A geographically small country, with a shortage of land, singapore has traditionally relied on land reclamation as a meant of providing additional pphysical space to accomodate its housing, industrial, economic needs. Singapore has been reclaiming land since its early colonial days without attracting much attention from its neoghbours. However, in 2002, singapore's land reclamation works in pulau tekong and tuas view extension attracted complaints from malaysia. Malaysia alleged that the reclamation works, inter alia, impinged on malaysia's territorial waters, caused pollution and other adverse harm to the marine environment in the straits of johor. This culminated in malaysia invoking the provisions of the 1982 UN convention on tha law od the sea and referring the dispute to arbitration, under anex VII of the convention. Subsequently, malaysia applied to the itnernational tribunal for the law of the sea (ITLOS) for provisional measures to stop singapore's land reclamation works pending the outcome of the arbitration. This article briefly describes the chain of events leading to the two countries appearing before the ITLOS arbitral tribunal and the final peaceful settlement of the dispute. The authors then go on to reflect on the important lessons gained from this episode, in the hope that future differences may continue to be amicably resolved.
