Dear Sir,
 
>this & your following comments are a good jest &or a
puzzlement
 
Its partly in jest.
 
>do you mean to indicate that the idmy boundary shown in
part here in
the selat johor is somehow less definite as a whole than the idsy
maritime boundary also shown here in the singapore strait & indicated
as agreed upon

Not an expert. I do not know the weightage of one set of boundaries compared to the other set. However, there are as yet no mention of any maritime boundary disputes between sg and id. From what appears in the press reports here, while most parts of the idmy boundary are not in dispute, certain parts of this boundary, notably the tri-country points you mentioned towards the east of the Straits of Singapore and west towards Philips Channel are definitely in dispute. Indonesian marine police has been known to arrests Malaysian fishermen for alleged boundary violations.
