Singapore, Indonesia to sign extradition treaty, defence pact on Friday
SINGAPORE : After a few years of negotiations, Singapore and Indonesia have completed discussions on two bilateral issues - an Extradition Treaty and a Defence Cooperation Agreement.
The foreign and defence ministers from both countries will be signing the agreements in Bali on Friday.
For now, what is confirmed is that Singapore and Indonesia will sign both the Extradition Treaty and a Defence Cooperation Agreement in a ceremony on the island of Bali on Friday.
More details of the agreements reached were not disclosed.

Then the sand ban will be lifted very soon? If it is, then Singapore is hit quite hard with the ban and Indonesia is using the ban (disguised under environmental concerns) to push Singapore into signing. Building the integrated resort with expensive sand or let the rich corruptors go. Looks like the corruptors are of less value compared to what the casino can give.
And for Indonesia, since when environment is number 1 priority compared to money? If sand mining is too destructive for one place, they can still get it from other places. Why stop the export when there is demand? The is surely to pressure Singapore. But I don't think Indonesia will get anyone captured in Singapore. Those guys will just go to other country, but probably not as convenient as Singapore, which is close to home and well developed.
