M10203 was looking at the map of South-east Asia and remembering the territories of ASEAN countries and was also briefly discussing what happens at boundaries. When we were talking very briefly about what would happen to Singapore territories if we had kept Christmas Island.
Well, then Indonesia would have this funny sea space (as illustrated by the red line) cutting through their sea space, and Singaporean sea space passing dangerously close to Jakarta area! The Indonesian fishermen from the Sumatra island will also find themselves suddenly cut off from the full access of the Java Sea and Singapore will suddenly own a part of the Java Sea!
Well, it is all my imagination. The yellow line is another ridiculous thought of MORE sea space if Indonesia allows this to happen. Wahaha. Well, this is in my own imagination.
Using the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea however, it will look more like this below, where Singapore will be made up of 2 red dots! well, at least it is one more red dot.
