Once bitten, never shy

One would have fought shy of entering into any sort of partnership with a business partner who's not trustworthy. Despite the many hiccups we have with our neighbors up north, it seems that talks are underway for a fast train rail link that promises to take us from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, and vice versa, in just over two hours. Though the venture makes business sense, considering the sheer volume of human traffic traveling between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, we may well be giving ourselves more headaches if dispute arises. This is especially so when the venture involves land needed for the rail tracks. When we talk about land, it always has something to do with "sovereignty". Dr M has remarked, with reference to Singapore, that there are many ways to "skin a cat". Why give Dr M another opportunity to do so, even if a cat is said to have nine lives?

Dr M not only has many ways of skinning a cat; he also has many cats to skin. Right now he is skinning one right in his own backyard.
