Singapore will agree to a straight bridge if we allow them to have sand from our country and allow them to use our airspace for their military jets.<br /><br />Malaysian Govt disagreed with such demands. <br /><br />That is why a crooked bridge on our own waters surfaced as a plan to replace the Causeway.<br /><br />Building a crooked bridge is totally within our territories and we have the sovereign rights to do so.Goh Wei Lianghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183472011202771675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-15479284666753452142009-04-21T13:56:00.000+08:002009-04-21T13:56:00.000+08:00i wonder why they want a crooked bridge instead of...i wonder why they want a crooked bridge instead of straight bridge. straight bridge is much more better than crooked bridge in sense of traffic flow and cost. and if i not wrong, singapore agreed to replace the causeway with a straight bridge at first, but when malaysia change the plan to build a crooked bridge instead of straight bridge unilateraly, singapore going to against it. so build a straight bridge also make easier negotiation with singapore government.<br />and important is, crooked bridge is only scenic and is not practical at all in easing the traffic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-87705786678967661922009-04-20T10:30:00.000+08:002009-04-20T10:30:00.000+08:00Of all things that Tun M had done, I admire his co...Of all things that Tun M had done, I admire his courage and vision in seeing things further ahead when no one else could. You either like him or you hate him. His machiavellian philosophy is fine with me as long as it is for the greater good.<br /><br />Wonder any of you had realised Malaysia had lagged far behind in economic development vis-a-vis other former Asian Tigers in the like of Korea and Taiwan. Pre-98 crisis we can brag about the comparable gdp per capita but how do you feel when I say the capital of Samsung alone (pre devaluation of won) is equal to the capital of Bursa as a whole.<br /><br />I say tear that fucking bridge down and compete with singaporeans head on. I see no reason why we can't compete with their port and airport when we definitely have the advantage in proximity and cost.Jimmy Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878662501892483837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29507030.post-37454111116588087532009-04-20T10:05:00.000+08:002009-04-20T10:05:00.000+08:00That is very right.
