23rd August , Alor Setar .

The day Dr Mahathir fumed the loudest since he retired . In his past speeches , I used to hear a calm and soft spoken Dr Mahathir .

In Alor Setar , Dr Mahathir's voice was raised and he was one hot and angry man on that day .

Like it or not , what Tun Mahathir say is true . The building of the Half Bridge is on our side .

Where is the sovereignty that we defend for 49 years if we can't even build a bridge on our waters ?

The bridge will replace our half of Causeway . This bridge will be better in the sense that water will be able to flow .

And from free flowing of sea water here , ships can then go to our ports in Johor , namely Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas .

For now , ships from West have to go past Singapore , Eastwards , then only can they go to our port in Johor . With the bridge , the ships need not go past Singapore . They can just past through the bridge .

Does this sound prosperous to our GDP or what ?

You decide .

You study in Australia and write shit like this? Malu lah those of us who also studied there too.

Singapore owns the bridge jointly.This means they have a say. Also, if the rail lines are severed - even temporarily during the time the crooked bridge was to be built - all the KTM land in Singapore could belong to Singapore. Then KTM will truly become 'Keretapi Tak Mari!'

The Straits are too narrow for ships of any size to pass through. Johor will always play second fiddle to Singapore, given the backwardness of UMNO Johor leadership. You were sent to Australia to study, to open your mind and learn something new. There is still hope for you but stop writing shit - you don't know what you are talking. Our PM AAB has more brains in his little finger than you have in your big fat head!
