Contributions To Singapore
When Singapore separated from the Malaysian Federation, Kwa drafted the clauses in the Separation Agreement for the guarantee of the water agreements between the State of Johor and Singapore. This guarantee was done via a constitutional amendment to the Federation of Malaysia's Constitution.
