so it appears this dispute also does not yet entirely meet 
brownlies minimum standard of disputatiousness
as detailed in message 11808
but as singapore also observes
this is more properly still merely a negotiation in which the 
parties have disagreed over how they will disagree
that is
until either singapore or the court acknowledges that it is as 
proper a dispute as malaysia would make it
differences & disagreements arent quite the same as disputes
but in ordinary language disputes also tend to involve at least a 
hint of intransigence &or animosity
so perhaps the threshold has actually been reached in this case
however
& happily again 
no polyfinia are involved
