is it a disrespect to singapore's soviengy?

sbst275 SG

Forget it, what you heard is Johor MB saying

KL wants a straight bridge

iveco SG

If Johor’s chief minister has his way, we’ll be having the serpent-like crossing, won’t we?

sbst275 SG

That fellow is as good as ally of Dr M Mad

I-like-flings(m) SG

hmmmm is it that same guy that is begging singaporean to go over JB to shop? Mr. Green

sbst275 SG

Yes

Come come, we get your $$ and snatch more of PSA customer Mad

I-like-flings(m) SG

sbst275 SG

They survive because of us... Aiyah, heaven will settle them 1 day for such behaviour

vito_corleone SG

but some traitors and cheapskates still like to go over for certain reasons. Laughing

SMAPLionHeart SG

Let our tanks roll the moment the bridge reaches our shores.

Since they want a bridge what , it's their fault in their first place.

Mr. Green

iveco SG

It is these people who keep JB's economy rolling. Without them, JB would suffer. Laughing

Quincey SG

Crocked Bridge Of Johor.. 9th wonder of the world! Maybe we can even name it after Abdul Gahni Othman for his efforts in fostering a coordial relationship between Singapore and Malaysia. Tell me if you do get the pun.

TwilightZone SG

Let them build the crooked bridge and be the laughing stock of the world. We shall remain straight faced whilst they make a fool of themselves.

macjoe SG

Right. After [CLOB]BERING and robbing us in the 90s, now they want us to cooperate and mend ties? They must think we're stupid.

Rolling Eyes

sbst275 SG

They wanna fight with us on ports and airport

zhaozhilong SG

Well frankly, with the type of government and civil servants over there in Malaysia (I know because I am a Malaysian) and the working attitude of the majority population, it is a lost cause to try to compete with every aspect of Singapore's economy.

LittleTiger SG

I think everyone has lost the point.....

Who is going to pay for the new new crossing cost? JB port? NO (making the rich man richer)
Its the poor malaysian and sporean ppl who travel in out everyday to work!!!

things are expensive already nowadays... imagine the 2nd link toll already cost much. the cost of new causeway is same or even higher cost.... which mean one time travel cost $10 or more?

Cant they spare a thought for those poor fellow malaysian......

sbst275 SG

Already necessity in JB is as ex as in SG but their own wages is much lower than us

sbst275 SG

Their port, is not going to survive as a multi user terminal…

LittleTiger SG

Whatever the Port over either side and what goverment is really not important.

What important is those poor motorcyclist, motorist, walker, bus taker, lorries. What happen to them. they need to travel in out everyday.They cost of the bridge is going to go up tremendously. who is gonna cover that? are the port authority subside us as they reap lots of profit from it? NO...

Imagine the high bridges, those pity walker gonna climb the bridge like a hill.

What about then the causeway was dismantle?
How are they going to go through by tuas???? Imagine the bus and lorry going motocycle and car through at tuas... i takes 4 times the times and there is no MRT at TUAS, no proper bus station and bus stop there???? Somemore imagine the 2 little lane at tuas... the Jam will be 5 to 6 times the time.

What is the purpose to build a new bridge without solving the JAM problem? Its already 6 lane at causeway. Are they gonna build a 8 laner Bridge?

Who suffer and who reap profits?
Is it justificable?

Things are already good there why destroy it? SOlving the Jam problem is by building a more bigger custom complex at JB and expand the Police check at spore and double the amount of Immigration booth.

If the bridge is not mean for big big ship what is the purpose to build it? Why waste so much $$$ for some small boat to crossover as the strait is shallow?
I have driven from Taman Perling to the opposite of Tuas and it took 20 minutes of distance. And i also stuck before on the 2nd bridge for 1 hours after paying 4 times the cost of causeway. Another 20 minutes are need to travel from JB donwtown to Taman Perling. Is it worth? spend so many times, so many petrol and still stuck in the Jam(only 2 lane each side with few custom booth).

PTP(JB Port) is belong to a Arab merchant who got lots of project from m'sia government.
Is it justtificable to make him richer with the cost of both spore and malaysian government $$$ and also burden the citizen?
He susgested the idea, so i think PTP shall pay and bear the cost right?

The fees wont be the same same at RM2.4 and S$1.2 with the excess paid by that PTP for each motorist travel in and out. The new cost will be some 4 to 5 times higher as the second link which was build years back is already so expensive and almost 3x the toll charges.

What about pollution, oil spill?

Are any of the CENTRAL and FEDERAL ppl think of that? Economics are already not doing good yet they wanna burden the ppl. Do they think of their poor Johorean where hundred of thousand of ppl travel in and out everyday. The causeway is the median to their rice bowl. And thousand of sporean who were dispatch to work in Johor for those factory and offices?

Let both side minister travel at working hours like 5am to 9am and 5pm to 8pm. Let them stuck in the traffics of motorcycles, busses, walking ppl, lorries, cars and also custom.

And it also proposed an open up bridge for ships to go through. Imagine the bridge was stop for 5 minutes or more the cars will plies from JB downtown to Taman Sentosa or Pelangi or from Woodlands to Kranji BKE during peak hours.
