Malaysia's insistance of wanting to site its CIQ in Singapore
has made many strategists to think that Malaysia has some wildest
dreams to take Singapore through military means. Most have
predicted that the railway tunnel will not be a reality at all
especially when it is a KTM project as Keretaapi Tanah Malaysia has
never made any profit through its years of operation, so where and
how to get its funding to build and maintain a tunnel to bring its
trains to Singapore? Dr. M may have big ambitions of most mega
projects in Malaysia, but the days of superbulls in CLOB or KLSE
were history! Without CLOB of Malaysian shares, there are no more
rich and gambling addicted Singaporeans helping to fund those dream
projects of the 1990s through those CLOB counters!It may be once
'bitten' twice shy, let alone the worldwide economic downturn, and
where are they going to get those billions to build a dream tunnel
to connect Singapore?
At least they are more down to earth to just satisfy with the CIQ
going to be sited back in their own soil than to insist that it has
the right to build it in Singapore, or Malaysia may be the only
country in the world to have its CIQ sited in a foreign
country!
Singapore will have one security threat down but after that what?
are they going to demolish the causeway after building a bridge?
How about those water pipes? Are they going to build more viaducts
specially for those lifelines to Singapore thus making the Strait
of Johor more messy!?
Looks like the "deal" with Singapore may have to re-negotiate if DR
M changes his mind again!
