2. Newspapers of April 15 reports on an UMNO Youth leader in Johor Baru requesting that the bridge be built for various reasons.
3. When the previous Prime Minister stated that the people of Johore did not want the crooked bridge or any bridge, no one said anything, much less protest.
5. There was for a very short while complaints regarding the Custom, Immigration and Quarantine complex. No one explained that the inconvenience was due to the complex being designed to complement the proposed bridge but when the bridge was cancelled a temporary road was built to join the complex with the causeway. This caused a misfit as the two could not be properly linked together. Hence the inconvenience. In addition the traffic problems near the causeway remained unsolved.
6. Does the Government need to ask Singapore for permission to build the now desirable crooked bridge? Is Malaysia free to do things in its own territory? Are we really independent? I wonder.
Selamat malam to Tun and to all chedet freinds…
Thank you to all of you for reading and kind of sharing the opinion and facts about this bridge matter.
I’m just coming back from Kangar, Perlis visiting my parents inlaw and relatives. During three days staying there im sharing my opinions about this bridge project with my uncles and nephew and im very supprise to hear and listen to their good toughts and opinions about this bridge proposal. It seem shows how very concern people of Perlis to this matters and the very best part of it for me is that they are NOT JOHORIANS,SINGAPOREANS nor JBians!
Peoples in Perlis especially those who lived in Kuala Perlis, Kangar and at the surrounding area also will never forget to the past story about the Kedah state goverment proposal and the idea to built the Langkawi Bridge via Kuala Muda,Kedah. Perlis MB’s also proposed to done it via Kuala Perlis.
Those proposal at that time is to help to minimise the problems of ferry services and also about the difficullties of visitors, local peoples, private companies, traders, resorts and also the goverment agency to do work smoothly and the most very important is to make sure the trade activities runs rapidly and continuosly.
Those ferries till this day operating from 7.30 am to 7.00 pm everyday and the capacity of this ferry cannot accomodate to the very large capacity of passangers and they stuff at one time boarding.
For those who wants to shipped their cargo from or to this island such as cars, office or trading stocks, lives stock or even a full cargo of “gardenia” breads must used the outdated cargo ferry. This will take about 45 minutes or more than an hour for each loading. Lots of money, time and energy been wasted for this poor kind of services and facilities.
But if this bridge been built, Langkawi island is no more longer known and act as a “free duty island” and im really sure you all out there know how is “free duty island” works and runs its policy.
We all only can suggest the used of large, fast or super size “catamaran”. It is more suitable and sustainable. But first before all this comes true, the ferries company must willing and dare to take this new challange to make the “super” changes to their vessel and services. After all those catamaran will indeed improved their legacy, profit and service.
Be the first to be the best!
Thank you afag for the factual account and I assume that they are correct as they sound very reasonable.
Noise from aircraft is a real concern.
SG needs sand for legitimate reclamation purposes and not to intentionally narrow the channel to hinder shipping in the straits as suggested. If the purpose is to hinder then you don’t need a lot of sand, Just a few jetties and promontories will do.
Clean water is desired by both countries. The water in the straits is not stagnant as stated. There is no East West flow that is all. If MY is really concerned about clean water and clean environment then it should clean up its act and not let polluted water including effluence from the Aminah Hospital run into the Straits untreated.
So the benefits of port connectivity is very real and is very well explained by afag.
So SG must get something in return for spending money to build its half of the bridge. We are in no obligation to agree to everything that MY wants. There must be trade-offs leading to a win-win situation, and there are many for example the third link in the East.
Salam Buat YBhg. Tun,
May I add in few more just to keep the ball rolling until the New PM decides to resume the project, otherwise our concerns and ideas will become “CAKAP-CAKAP KOSONG”.
1. I remember someone was telling before one of the reasons why most Malaysians (the Johorian especially) refused to accept the trade-off i.e. sand and air-space for the straight-bridge. Apparently they foresee that Singapore will use the sand to reclaim the area on their side of the causeway and this will result in the readily narrow straits become even narrower. When that happens, their justification will always be it is their “PREROGATIVE”.
2. For those who still have doubt about the potential value of the project, just think about the Panama Canal. It is the egineering MARVEL in the early 1900’s and still a success story until now. Don’t WAIT but IMMITATE and INNOVATE.
3. About the air-space back then, students around Johor Bahru and nearby were perpetually disturbed by the low flying jet fighters from Sg Air Force. Again non of that is their concern as well because they are such “A GOOD NEIGHBOUR”.
Kind regards
selamat tengahari to all…
Prof…thank you..
Today i want to share to all out there the true facts about PTP;(and it is relevan to this bridge project)
1. The Port of Tanjung Pelepas is a port for container ships located on the eastern mouth of the Pulai River in south-western Johor.
2. The port has a naturally deep harbour with a draft of 15 – 19 metres, and its turning basin of 600 metres ALLOWS for ships or vessel of any size to turn easily and smoothly.
3. PTP receiving its maiden vessel on 10 October 1999 on a three-month trial operation, it set a world record as the fastest growing port with 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of containers handled after 571 days of operations. The good performance sealed the port’s fate, and it was officially launched by then our beloved Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, on 13 March 2000.
4. The port continues to register spectacular growth. At the end of 1999, the terminal handled 20,696 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), which rose to 418,218 TEU in 2000, 2.05 million TEU in 2001, and 2.66 million TEU in 2002, and 3.87 million TEU in 2003 outstripping Port Klang and thereby establishing itself as Malaysia’s largest port.
5. This accelerated growth hinges on the port’s proximity to the busy sea lanes on which the Port of Singapore derived its growth and sustainability for nearly two centuries. Positioning itself as a choice alternative to Singapore’s terminals, it highlights its proximity to the Tuas Second Link which leads to Singapore.
6. Sustained growth after 2000 was also largely possible as Maersk Sealand, the world’s largest container ship operator, took a 30% equity stake in the port’s holding company, Seaport Terminal in a deal concluded on 17 August 2000, effectively shifting ALL of Maersk’s operations to the new port from the Singaporean port by the end of that year. Maersk was once the largest operator in Singapore, and the shift represented a 10% drop in business there.
7. In 2002, Evergreen Marine Corporation, then the world’s second largest shipping company after Maersk, ALSO shifted its operations to PTP from Singapore. Other lines have also started direct services at PTP.
8. This event RAISED panic alarm bells in the Singaporean port.
9. The length of the PTP quay will be increase by 1.44km to the existing 3.6 km. It is expected that the first two berths will be operational in 2009. The expansion project will increase the handling capacity to 12 million TEUs. The entire master plan of the PTP port envisages over 75 berths making it the ONLY PORT IN SOUTH EAST ASIA with long term potential to handle increasingly growing container traffic. The berths is expected to extend from the mouth of Pulai River to the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link.
10. The current port offers 10 berths totalling 3.6 km of linear wharf length, and a 1.2 million square meters container yard which have over 156,000 TEU in storage space. The berths are serviced by 27 Super Post-Panamax quay cranes, 13 of which have a 22 box outreach and twin lift. The total capacity of the port today is over 8 million TEU per year. 77 rubber tyred gantry cranes operate around the container facility.
11. ONCE AGAIN it thus explaining to the initial reluctance of Singapore to agree and rejected this bridge proposal. The TRULY and LOGICAL fact is that this BRIDGE proposal presents a biggest threat to Singapore’s port activity and this is not very good for the Singapore economy. The bridge would allow a creation of a very comprehensive PORT SYSTEM linking Johor Port and Tanjung Pelepas Port(PTP)and this will positively helps bounce back the Malaysia economy and trades activity.
Selamat malam Tun and to all chedet members…
Thank you prof!…
Tonight i want to share some facts about PTP and the golden achivements made by the PTP…(A story that relevent to this bridge project)
1. The Port of Tanjung Pelepas(PTP) is a port for container ships located on the eastern mouth of the Pulai River in south-western Johor.
2. Receiving its maiden vessel on 10 October 1999 on a three-month trial operation, it set a WORLD RECORD AS THE FASTEST GROWING PORT with 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of containers handled AFTER 571 days of operations. The good performance sealed the port’s fate, and it was officially launched by then our beloved Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, on 13 March 2000.
3. The port continues to register spectacular growth. At the end of 1999, the terminal handled 20,696 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), which rose to 418,218 TEU in 2000, 2.05 million TEU in 2001, and 2.66 million TEU in 2002, and 3.87 million TEU in 2003 outstripping Port Klang and thereby establishing itself as Malaysia’s LARGEST PORT.
4. In 2004, it registered a 15.2% increase to 4,020,421 TEU, and came in as the world’s 16th busiest container port. In 2005, PTP handled 4.2 million TEU, and 2006 an estimated 4.6 million TEU. In 2007, PTP handles a further 5.5 million TEU, a growth of 14.5 percent compared to 2006.
5. This accelerated growth hinges on the port’s proximity to the busy sea lanes on which the Port of Singapore derived its growth and sustainability for nearly two centuries. Positioning itself as a choice alternative to Singapore’s terminals, it highlights its proximity to the Tuas Second Link which leads to Singapore.
6. Sustained growth after 2000 was also largely possible as Maersk Sealand, the world’s largest container ship operator, took a 30% equity stake in the port’s holding company, Seaport Terminal in a deal concluded on 17 August 2000, effectively SHIFTING ALL of Maersk’s operations to the new port FROM THE SINGAPOREAN PORT by the end of that year. Maersk was once the largest operator in Singapore, and THE SHIFT REPRESENTED A 10% DROP IN BUSINESS THERE.
7. In 2002, Evergreen Marine Corporation, then the WORLD’S SECOND LARGEST shipping company after Maersk, ALSO shifted its operations to PTP from Singapore.
8. This event raised panic alarm bells in the Singaporean port, with widespread speculation in the shipping community that Evergreen’s endorsement of PTP demonstrated that Maersk’s move may not be an isolated one. Other lines have also started direct services at PTP.
9. In 2008, PTP announced that it will expand its quay by the addition of four berths worth MYR1.4 billion. The length of the quay will increase by 1.44km to the existing 3.6 km. It is expected that the first two berths will be operational in 2009.
10. The expansion project will increase the handling capacity to 12 million TEUs.
11. The current port offers 10 berths totalling 3.6 km of linear wharf length, and a 1.2 million square meters container yard which have over 156,000 TEU in storage space.
12. The berths are serviced by 27 Super Post-Panamax quay cranes, 13 of which have a 22 box outreach and twin lift. The total capacity of the port today is over 8 million TEU per year. 77 rubber tyred gantry cranes operate around the container facility.

14. The entire master plan of the port envisages over 75 berths making it THE ONLY PORT IN SOUTH EAST ASIA with long term potential to handle increasingly growing container traffic. The berths is expected to extend from the mouth of Pulai River to the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link.
15. And this is just some of the awards achievment by the PTP;
A) PTP is the first Malaysian port to be awarded for IMS Certification which integrated ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001
B) Finalist for AFSCA Award 2007,Best Seaport – Asia
C) Finalist for AFSCA Award 2007,Best Container Terminal – Asia
D) Finalist for Container Terminal of The Year Award 2007 by Llyod’s List.
E) APMT IT Review Excellence Award(out of 42 terminals worldwide)
F) Technology Business Review ASEAN Award for Excellence in Logistics. And the achievements never stop untill today…
16. And once again im very positively sure by the proposal of replacing the causeway with a bridge would allow another creation of a very comprehensive PORT SYSTEM linking Johor Port and Tanjung Pelepas Port and if this project becomes a reality… it will positively helps bounce back the Malaysia economy and trades activity as well.
17. From this PTP golden stories it shows and really explaining to all of us the initial reluctance of Singapore to agree and rejected this bridge proposal.
18. To all… this is a fact…real fact…and once again i just want to share my best views,opinions,ideas and the most IMPORTANT that is.. we all should always and remember to staying true in tough times…
Salam Tun
Well done afag! on ( May 19, 2009 7:36 PM ). I really appreciate, as well as other readers to share some of your views concerning the history about Johore – Singapore Causeway. Nevertheless, I would like to stress more on maritime and engineering sense in this issue;
8.”Malaysia proposed to replace the causeway with a bridge, allowing water, tide movement and ship movement from Pasir Gudang, the older port in Johor to the new port in Gelang Patah through the Straits of Johor.”
9.”Singapore REJECTED this proposal, after which Malaysia came up with the idea of what became known as “the crooked half-bridge”, 25m above water level, and descending halfway to link up with the low-level causeway. The railway was to have also a swing bridge.”
Again
Well afag had said it something others would abstain from saying. Well, when one is not able to read in between lines, it must be blunty said.
There will always differring views. At the end of the day, the ball is now in PM Najib’s Court. It is not about “will he do it”, but “can he do it”?
The crooked bridge or straight bridge on the Malaysian side is not about demolishing the causeway, moreso demolishing the singapore half of the causeway. The causeway albeit crooked remains intact. It is the exercise of Malsysia’s sovereignity on her own terrotory. Again, i fail to see how selling more water and sand to Singapore is relevant – do Malaysia need to “bribe” Singapore to build the bridge in her own territory? The water agreement and whatever agreemnts between Singapore and Malaysia shall run their due course until such terms/ periods expire.
We can only discuss and give our views – that is the beauty of it all.

salam sejahtera Tun and to all chedet members and

Today on this beutiful day i want to share some of the history about Johore – Singapore Causeway.
1. The increased demand for black pepper and gambier in the nineteenth century lead to the opening up of farmlands to the influx of Chinese immigrants, creating Johor’s initial economic base. The Kangchu system was put in place with the first settlement of Kangkar Tebrau established in 1844.
2. The decline of the Kangchu economy at the end of the 19th century coincided with the opening of the railway line connecting Johor Bahru and the Federated Malay States in 1909 and the emergence of rubber plantations throughout the state.
3. Under the British Resident system, Sultan Ibrahim, Sultan Abu Bakar’s successor, was forced to accept a British adviser in 1904. D.G. Campbell was dispatched as the first British adviser to Johor. From the 1910s to the 1940s, Johor emerged as Malaya’s TOP rubber producing state, a position it has held until recently. Johor was also until recently the LARGEST oil palm producer in Malaysia.
4. The Johor-Singapore Causeway@TAMBAK JOHOR(length: 1038 m) was designed by Messrs Coode, Fizmaurice, Wilson and Mitchell of Westminster, while the construction contract was awarded to Topham, Jones & Railton Ltd of London. It started in 1909 AS A RAILWAY LINK by Johor State Railway to connect Johor Bahru to Singapore, then the administrative headquarters of British interests in South-East Asia.
5. Construction of the ROAD SECTION started in 1919 and was completed in 1923.
6. The Causeway also carries a railway line, which is now part of the main rail route linking Singapore with Thailand via Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Butterworth.
7. The causeway has been a source of contention ever SINCE Singapore seceded from Malaysia in 1965. Stagnating water caused by the Causeway has raised health concerns in Johor.
8. Malaysia proposed to replace the causeway with a bridge, allowing water, tide movement and ship movement from Pasir Gudang, the older port in Johor to the new port in Gelang Patah through the Straits of Johor.
9. Singapore REJECTED this proposal, after which Malaysia came up with the idea of what became known as “the crooked half-bridge”, 25m above water level, and descending halfway to link up with the low-level causeway. The railway was to have also a swing bridge.
10. The scheme was part of the Gerbang Selatan Bersepadu project. It had been previously announced that the bridge project would go ahead, even WITHOUT the agreement of the Singaporean government.
11. But the bridge would become a STRAIGHT bridge IF the Singaporean government ACCEPTED the project.
12. By replacing the causeway with a bridge would allow a creation of a very comprehensive PORT SYSTEM linking Johor Port and Tanjung Pelepas Port in Johor and this also positively helps booming the Malaysia economy and trades activity.
13. Thus explaining the initial reluctance of Singapore to agree and rejected this bridge proposal. The TRULY and LOGICAL fact is that this proposal presents a biggest threat to Singapore’s port activity and this is not very good for the Singapore economy. It is not just because of sand,airspace or fresh water…but because of the economy fear…
It is simple to understood by everybody..;no ship@cargo, no more best port, no best port, no more factory@industry, no more of this, no more jobs, no more jobs = people will feel “susah hati” and the government will start to “pening kepala”…and just to flash back, will LKY remember to his once sharp word, “Singapore Will Survive!” for just because rejection of this bridge project…
“Semangat Perpaduan dan Kemajuan Negara Asean” must carried together and ALWAYS to be remembered into this matter…

Dear thinktok (May 15, 2009 12:12 PM)
Can you spell out some details of contracts that stuck with the UN. It
To Hafiz,
I don’t understand why the Singaporean malay friend should be humiliated when he perceived Malaysia as kowtowing to Singapore. After all as a Singaporean we do not want to be seem to have to be compliant too often. What happens if Singapore Kowtow to Malaysia?? Would he as a Singaporean regardless of race be humiliated too?
Why did Malaysia checkmate itself and build the CIQ complex that sticks out like a sore thumb not forgetting the resource drain and traffic jams. Must be due to lack of consideration for Singapore’s point of view. Kowtowing cannot discribe the behaviour. To me it is madness and arrogance and maybe cronyism.
Throughout the blogs I read about emotions and more emotions without giving a thought to understanding what is the cause of the stalemate.
Blaming YB Badawi to please Tun should not be your pre-occupation. If Tun who had so much time during his premiership and could not get the bridge going why blame YB Badawi. It is simply unfair.
Dear Beloved Tun,
Your predecessor is obviously not too smart, for cancellig the construction of the crooked bridge. It made us loose face to the Singaporeans. A Singaporean Malay friend told me that he felt humiliated that we Malaysians ‘kowtowed’ to the Singaporeans by that action.
The crooked bridge SHOULD be built
With afag, Prof Abdul Rani and Tun holding such views I am not surprised that the otherwise simple bridge project was derailed.
We simply ignore contracts that were lodged with the UN. Regarding water and sand we are talking about obligations but trade offs. You are a Professor and you should be able to understand the difference.
Regards
If anyopne has the idea that Malaysia is demolishig the causeway, that is plainly wrong. Simply put, Malaysia is constructing in their middle half an elevated causeway (crooked). I failed to see how the elevated causeway as proposed would in any way disturb the environment. If Singapore is sincere in her relation with Singapore, woiuld an elevated bridge be of mutual benefit?
Why on earth does one wants to keep the Straits of Johore block? Jealousy or envy? If Singapore does not need it, should not malaysia proceed in her part of her territory? After all, Malaysia is not seeking any money from Singapore to build it.
I do not see also the logic that every time Malaysia is developing her side, she is obliged to sell more water and sand to Singapore.
Assoc Prof Dr Abdul Rani Kamarudin
Salam sejahtera…
To all Malaysian and Singaporean…
Both of us was once live as a big nation and family untill the breakup tragedy…
the bridge it self has the nostalgic and history reflect to both country…so to all just don’t or try to forget about it.
Now it is the time we all do the right thing and take it as a positive benefit and best infrastructure to both country and people…
but do please REMEMBER TO CONSIDER this important issue and highlights before proceed with the bridge project;
1. the quality of water at Selat Johor must be in good condition always and it should to be monitor everyday and time before, during and after the project.
2. the project must not at all or try to disturb the environmental and ecology aspect at both country side.
3. Both country should form a JV group that all duties and monitoring activities of the project site can be done together and all problems encounter can be solved together without any provoked or projudice.
4. used only technology, material, equipment or technic that is enviromental freindly, safe and cost effective.
5. always make sure all activities and productivity of fisherman and all business that related for marine and seafood industries at the surrounding area is not been disturb or shutdown because of this project.
6. Please make sure all Consideration from no 1 to no 6 to be REMEMBER and if is not, please refer back to no 6.
Thank You and please consider.
We must keep our cool and ask basic questions. It is not Malaysia’s sovereign right alone to have the causeway demolished. Singapore’s consent is also required.
Singapore’s right to reclaim its seabed was reaffirmed by ITLOS.
It is Malaysia’s sovereign right to sell or not to sell water and sand to Singapore.
That is why Singapore is asking Malaysia to sell water and sand in exchange for agreeing to build the bridge etc. The water is from God and if not harness will cause flood and flow into the sea. As pollution control in Johore is not very good, the polluted water flowing to the sea will have effect on the fish breeding grounds and water quality. The reclamation activity is not the main cause of depleting fish stocks.
Instead of helping SG by selling more water, Johoreans are making fun of Singapore having to drink ‘Shit water’.
Lets be good neighbours and go for a win win formula. We can do this by avoiding the temptation of spreading falshood. Tun can help.

Besides, I am not even sure if it actually make economic sense for Malaysia, not for individuals though. If it make econoimic sense, vry well, but if it is about Tun’s dislike of Singapore or any Singapore personality, I cannot subscribe to building the bridge.
Having said that, I applaud Pak lah’s gut for not building the crooked bridgem nevermind what many of Mahatir’s supporters think of Pak Lah. He is not as useless as you people make him out to be. It was all about bringing him down for some unholy reasons by a group of Malay racists.”
I generally don’t wish to or even tolerate when people playing the “racist card” in any discussion, for I personally feel that I and everyone in here whether we like it or not have that “racist” element deep down inside everyone of us whether we like it or not, IN PARTICULAR FOR THE ONE WHO WAS IN THE SAME BREATHE EARGERLY DEFENNDED UNMENTIONED PERSONALITY ACROSS THE CAUSEDWAY WHO IS NOT EVEN HIS OR HER LEADER (maybe and just maybe). FOR A MORTAL BEING LIKE ME, THERE IS A TENDENCY TO READ FURTHER INTO THAT KIND OF NORMATIVE STATEMENT WHICH CAN BE CONCLUDED AS “Hmmm…should I get you into the life boat, should the ship sink?”. If I were to list down all of the racist issues, I didn’t think that certain segment of the population could stomach it plus there would be no end to it. BUT I DO LEARN ABOUT ONE THING, I JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THE MISTAKE THAT HAD BEEN DONE MUCH MUCH EARLIER AND LIVE WITH IT AND MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT, which is “TOLERANCE”.
We are discussing our own terratoty and our right as a sovereign nation and this is not the case of Churchill’s hiccup for those in the know. Of course we got all excited when we dicuss the progress and the glory of how we can outdo and out perform our neghbours, so and so forth.

The causeway was operational in 1923 to allow for a convenient land (as oppose to ferries and boats) acess between Johore Bahru and Singapore. The elevated bridge whether crooked or straight in the Malaysian side is still in keeping to the very same philosophy. If Singapore is reluctant, that alone should not hinder Malaysia to do what it ought to do. Perhaps, it would not be called a “causeway” anymore but “crooked causeway” but still is the very same causeway. Malaysia is not doing away with the causeway only upgrading it – is that too much to ask?
Moreover, the Straits of Johore was originally unblocked. In 1923 it was blocked by the causeway. Therefore, I do not see why there are people who are so opposed to the elevated bridge crooked or straight to enable the straits of Johore to revert to its original state. Off course, if Singapore is reluctant to a coomon design for a straight bridge or put too many terms and conditions, that should not hinder Malaysia to proceed for an elevated bridge in her part of her territory and hence to go for the crooked bridge. Why it has to be crooked – that was already explained by Tun DM.
Look at the bigger picture – it has wider connotations not simply for shiports (Pelepas and Pasir Gudang). The fact that the water is not too deep for large vessels should not render it useless for smaller vessels, cruise boats or pleasure boats, ferries etc.

I think YB AAB is not against the bridge. I heard rumours that YB AAB’s cabinet had succeeded in finalising an agreement with SG to construct a straight bridge, with MY agreeing to sell sand and allowing RSAF to overfly Johore. Dr Mahathir was against the idea and equated the selling of sand to selling of sovereignty etc which upset YB MM’s supporters and tied AAB’s hands.
Dr MM’s contention is that there is no neccessity to further seek SG’s permission and also the crooked bridge is to be built wholely on Malaysian territory. Whether he is right or not we are not clear but we know that MY had to pay compensation for the abortion.
Since this is his blog he can give us some insight into the whole episode as he had given on the choice of MIGs over the F15s.
I think it is not fair to expect the little red dot to be compliant all the time.

sy adalah rakyat johor, sy mmg mahukan jambatan dibina, bg menjanakan pertambahan ekonomi negara. diharap kabinet kerajaan pusat dan kerajaan negari, memikirkan perkara ini dgn serius untuk menjadikan malaysia terus akan mencapai negara maju.
In the first place, how do you boost, accelerate, speed up the use of the facilities in Pelepas and Pasir Pudang Ports when there is an archaic and stupid causeway blocking the Straits of Johore? As i see it, that is one of the last stumbling block in the way of boosting Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Pelepas Ports.
Singapore ports are efficient as for now because it has been so for ages thanks to the British. Singapore only add up and top up what is needed from time to time to keep abreast with internetaional trade and to give her the edge such as shorter handling time of cargo and ship berthing and thus valuable business time for making more money are not put to waste. for these Singapore wasted no ttime and invested loads of money, equipment and technology.
What malaysians lack we can set off by othe packages untuil such time when we could evolve a better system – these need huge investments in human capital and equipments. Interestingly, their skill workers are also made up of many malaysians who if given the right wage would love to come back and work in Pelepas and Pasir Gudang.
The Pelepas and the Pasir Gudang ports are not going to be the sole or the main ones and i for one do not think they single handedly are by any means going to rival Singapore ports. However, these ports and other ports such as Port Klang put together are a force to reckon with. The Pasir Gudang and the Pelepas ports are not going to render other Malaysian ports useless but together are series of network of ports available in Malaysia. Remember Malaysia is a big country. Just like airports, should not there be many shipports to?
I reiterate, the crookedly scenic bridge serves not just for the ports only but there are other mindblogging benefits too – u can even imagine them – u have to be a true johorians to understand its importance and not any johorians but johorians who live in Johore bahru and know Johore bahru.
For those who argue that even the 2nd link is under utilised – as fornow yes, 10 years later and more?

Najib was the spokesman for the AAB(Aimless, Arrogant Bonehead) government who announced the cancellation of the ‘crooked’ bridge stating that a halfway bridge will be an act of intimidation towards a neighbouring country. Will he swollow his pride to save the project, NOW?

I think a lot more can be done aside from the bridge. I believe many Malaysian exporters are still using the Singapore Port as getaways to other part of the world (based on my previous experience in trade finance) or supplying the middlemen in Singapore with Malaysian Products. Studies should be carried out to assist these exporters so that in due time they can use either Pasir Gudang Port or PTP directly. It is not as easy as it may sound, due to the long established relationship that these exporters have with the importers through the Singapore port. Thus, subsidies, incentives and even training to familiarize these exporters with the said ports should be extended. Methods and initiatives should also be found so that these exporters can go direct to the importers instead of through the middlemen in Singapore.
I am not sure whether this has been done or otherwise, but the port personel should embark on outreach program where they market the port to the exporters in Malaysia and importers abroad. The port officials should also be included in any of the MITI Trade mission to promote the ports.
Logistic companies should also be looked into, and incentives and training be extended, to ensure better and competative services. These logistics companies should also be included in any of the MITI Trade mission.
Exporters, importers, logistics companies and the ports are among the four crucial links in the network. Their issues and concerns should be ironed out together during roundtable session as every party is equally important.
Kind regards
Dear Tun,
Allow me to explain to Kamenrider’s comment on April 22, 2009 6:03 PM,
By Kamenrider on April 22, 2009 6:03 PM
To those who insist to build the bridge, pls consider these:
1. Ships still cannot sail in, there is already the second causeway blocking at the West. Take a look at any MY/SG Map (http://www.maplandia.com/singapore/)
Dear Kamenrider: How then do ships get to the Sembawang port, Pelepas port and the Pasir Gudang port? If they can get in, they can surely get out don’t u think so. In the first place how do they get in? Merely looking at the map, I would agree with u that even a toy ships would net get through it whether from east or west.
2. The Johor Strait is very shallow and narrow, it does not allow most ships to sail.
Dear Karminder: Merely looking at the map,yes it is narrow even for a toy ship played by kids to pass through. The Straits of johore spans more than the length of two football fields in most parts. I know because i had lived there for many years and still go back now and then to Taman Perling (Johore bahru) Moreover, the ships need not be of the type that is too big but can be between small to mid-size will do or even smaller. The port authorities know what to do.
What about pleasure boats and cruise boats plying back and forth from one end to the other end of the scenic straits of johore? What about jet ski? Imagine how “pristine” the Straits of Johore would be because of the free flow of sea water (and fishes) from the South China Seas to the Straits of Malacca. I bet a beautiful waterfront and an increase in numbers of fishes for fishermen, tourists. Is it known as Straits of Johore?
3. The Johore Strait is a LONGER distance to sail from West to East or vice versa, the shallow and narrow water makes sea vehicles sail slower. Doesnt make economical sense for ship owners. Check the map again.
Dear karminder: The free flow is not only meant for international trade but for locals too who simply wish to go for sightseeing. for trade, let the pilot worries about that. Anyway, that too means job oppurtunities requiring for the employment of harbour pilots to safely guide ship in and out.
Again how do ships get into the Sembawang, Pelepas and Pasir Gudang ports? Do u konow where these ports are located? If they can get in, surely they know they can get out too? Anyway, that is not your problem nor mine but the port authorities with their specially skilled workforce to deal with.
4. Under international law, a country cannot unilaterally run a bridge across another country. It needs consensus from both parties.
Dear karminder: The Johore causeway was opened in January 1923 and is a bridge that runs across another country. The causeway is already a bridge but a stupid one that had outlived its purpose – so why talk about consensus again? Now, it is a matter of replacing the current bridge from one that is simple and archaic to one that is scenicly crooked relevant to meet todays’ need. It will still be on the same spot. Moreover, it is a bridge to be built on both ends of the malaysian side. So it will be connected back to the other middle end of the malsysian side before it reaches the end part of the singapore middle half. The middle end causeway on singapore part is not by any bit disturbed or intruded upon.
5. You cannot unilaterally join your new bridge into Singapore, if you cut the water pipe, Singapore has right to declare war.
Dear Karminder: Who ever says that water supply would be cut off?Leave it to the engineers and the architect to solve the matter in rerouting the water pipes. Under International law, a threat or the use of force over another sovereign country is illegal. So who is threatening who?
6. Having the bridge will not improve traffic flow. The problem is with customs management.
Dear Karminder: The whole idea is to boost not only traffic flow but customs management too. But a peak period is a peak period. Both sidea are facing the same traffic flow problems.
7. How on earth will having the bridge improve economy? Please explain
Dear Karminder: Please explain to me too how on earth will having a casino and a very big circle wheel improve the economy?

Again, you and your readers can choose to live in your own little world.

Dear S Nair,
1. Living in a shanty town with no proper sanitation and water supply “IS A MESS”
2. Seeing hundreds and maybe thousands of children begging on the street without proper education “IS A MESS”.
3. Boasting about how many millionaires and maybe billionaires one country has; never mind the milllions and millions of the “Don’t Have” “IS A MESS”
4. Treating another citizen as unequal up to a point of not worthy to be in same vicinity “IS A MESS”
……and compare that to “MEGA” Projects that has benefited people directly and indirectly. Just because the benefits didn’t land on your lap that doesn’t mean you are not benfiting from it. Let me add a bit more …
5. If you have time please do visit the US but not Disneyland or Disney World alone. Take time to visit Southern LA or any other areas alike and that “IS A MESS”
6. Don’t go and bragg about the greener pasture vis-a-vis abroad, for STANDING AS WHO YOU ARE NOW “If you are not educated OR rich” don’t even dream of being accepted by them.
7. Even after you are part of them, you most probably be living within your ethnicity enclosure and being group within the same class system.

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat dan gembira. Kali ini minta izin menjawab dua orang pengulas…
Sdr ‘Anak Orang Kampung’ on May 2, 2009 2:02 PM and ‘samuraimelayu’ on May 3, 2009 1:50 AM. Thank you for your enlightening comments. My response…
……………NO OBJECTION
Gentlemen, I agree with both of you in supporting a new bridge. I only expressed doubt in ‘bulldozing’ the project (last time)merely to show sovereign might, thumb our noses or beat our chest. The cost, savings, time, aesthetics and other benefits warrants a tempering of national egos.
Discussion, negotiation and diplomacy should be given adequate room before looking for ultimatum. Najib must pursue the joint bridge (make it scenic for added advantage) for our mutual benefit. If crooked makes it more beautiful, so be it by design.
However S’pore should not test our patience.
The trouble with Malaysians esp the politicians is their tendency to engage in Singapore bashing. You have flood in Kota Tinggi and you blame Singapore’s reclamation.
You sign agreement on KTM railway land and you unilaterally drop the agreement.
You want to build the crooked bridge, and you know that the causeway cannot be demolish without the consent of both parties. Yet MM behave in a petulent manner and blame everybody for the fiasco. Really Malaysia boleh.
Don’t you self regulate? Don’t you have self respect? I will be dissappointed if Singapore Ministers behave in that manner.
Singapore is a little red dot. But is has dignity and fairness. In Dr Mahathir’s case, I find that in most of the issues the doctor is the disease.
Dengan izin Tun…Terimakasih..

//I think you are a great leader having the guts to stand up for your beliefs. You saved MY during the financial crisis. But you could have done more like constructing a straight bridge through negotiation and trade offs.//
Thank you for your compliments towards Tun.Unfortunately you believes that Tun did not negotiate and trade offs.This is so not true.Do you wants Tun to trade off Malaysia dignity and sovereignity like Tunku Abdul Rahman?
That is the best deal Singapore ever had from Malaysia..It is not??
//But you have no considerations for SG. Mr Lim Liong Sik rubbed salt into wound by bragging what competition was after pursuading Maersk and Evergreen to switch to Pelepas. Removing the causeway will allow MY to connect Pelepas with Pasir Gudang. What does SG get by helping your ports to beat our port and having to spend millions on building our half of the bridge. Surely you understood//
Tun understood well enough.I believe it is you who did not grasp the meaning of “Pukul anak, sindir menantu”.
A beauty in Malaysian art of ‘negotiations’.
//You never explained the true cost of water to your people. SG buys at 3 cents, treatment cost is $2.50 and sold it to MY at $0.50 cents. Literally SG subsidises to the tune of about $1.90 per unit. SG also paid for the dams etc that pipes water to some part of Johore.//
Is this true? Sg is so compasionate and considerate ? Or you have forgotten something that calls media manipulation?…oh sorry..I means media ‘potrayals’.
So many years Singapore have been promoting herself as a tourist destination passionately.By contrast, Malaysia lost in this aspect.So..people all over comes to Sg believing this tales.When they go home somes feels very much ‘disillusion’.Some who are fortunate enough realizes it is Malaysia the haven of tourist destinations..
Same principles apllies.Are you sure Sg is that compassionate in matter regarding water agreements..or Sg media says and state so??
And..
You believe them??
//In fact I liked your joke about MIG jet fighters being better than F15s//
Never heard this one.But I did heard the one about Japanese Zero fighter ‘incapability’ and Japanese ‘aircraft carrier’ inferiority.So when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, American

The Cold War meets the Middle East Conflict., April 25 2004
By Geoffery Denham (Norfolk, VA, USA)
It is refreshing to see this conflict described from the Arab view point. The book describes the role of Egyptian, Syrian and Iraqi units in the conflicts with Isreal from 1967 to the 1980’s. There is also a section covering the wars in the gulf. Much of the material in this book is new to most western readers and includes first hand accounts from Arab MiG pilots. It seems that the MiGs did rather better in combat than was the impression given by the Israeli information at the time. It is interesting to see how the cold war superpowers are involved on each side. An excellent book for anyone interested in MiG’s or the Mid East conflict.
The joke is on them..
Nevertheless..I like you 10 times over from some doctor from Sg..
Thank you

A CLEAR message of our sovereignity to the Aloof, Arrogant Boneheads (AAB) across the causeway!
……… MALAYSIA BOLEH!
with or without Singapore
TAKE CARE AND MAY GOD BLESS U.
The bridge that malaysia is embarking upon is in the malaysian side. Malaysia is not building a bridge over and above singapore territory. It is only a matter of courtesy to ask whether Singapore would join in and have an agreed design – otherwise, what is the problem?
The cancellation was an ill thought decision. Why because,the project had in fact started. If it had not, Singpaore permission would only be as a matter of courtesy. But it had started, do we need “permission” again?
The scenic bridge would be a laughing stock definitely but against a small country who failed to understand that she is a spent force.

…………EGONOMIC OR ECONOMIC REASON FOR BRIDGE?
A straight bridge is good for Johor economy. A crooked bridge will be icon for someone’s egonomy. It is a symbol of impatience, indiplomacy and a laughing stock for the world to gawk.
Similar to two neighbours having two type of wall between them. What would your friends say when they visit?
…………RIGHT CALL
On hindsight Pak Lah was right in cancelling the bridge in its crooked form. It saved us a few billion to fight current downturn. The bridge would have ballooned staggeringly in cost, as it gets entangled smack in the peak of the steel, petrol, construction and inflation spiral.
Now when the bridge is expected to welcome visitors, traffic from S’pore dwindles under its recession and M’sians encouraged to travel domestic. We are burdened with maintaining another Mahathir monument.
………..VIRTUE OF PATIENCE
No doubt a bridge will benefit M’sia more than S’pore (currently), thats why they stall. We will build the bridge someday with or without S’pore (if they remain unreasonable) For now time and circumstances is on our side for a cheaper and more scenic joint bridge.
Depends how good Najib negotiates.
Dear S. Tan,
Egonomic? Have you read all the comments and ridicules that have been said about the old and current CIQ? Even Malaysians themselves in Singapore either on the roadside or via blogs are doing the same. If that doesn’t hurt your ego, I don’t know what will.
My question is, why let other country dictates what is good or bad for us? Have they ever considered about the plight of the small fishermen in nearby Johor about the impact of their reclaimation work.
“A straight bridge is good for Johor economy. A crooked bridge will be icon for someone’s egonomy. It is a symbol of impatience, indiplomacy and a laughing stock for the world to gawk.

The above is another “Bulls” that I seemed can’t to understand. Have you ever been abroad and heard the comments from others about the old and current CIQ? or sitting in a business meeting with foreigners about the plight of our so call the southern gate to Malaysia? Whether you like it or not we are the laughing stocks at the moment. I guess you don’t care coz your ego is not with this country (maybe and just maybe).
Well, economically I hope the Port of Tanjung Pelepas will benefit tremendously with the scenic bridge and it will surpass the cost of building the bridge in due time. Opportunity won’t wait for no man and Why wait? You either live for the future or die with the present.

Tun,
Just read.
A Malaysian couple migrated to Singapore at an old age of 88
‘Singapore is safe,’ says the grandfather of nine, who lived in Kluang, Johor, before he immigrated here. He also liked the ‘environment and good sanitation’ here…
But we must first try to achieve wawasan 2020.
What do you think.

What is there to ask? WOULD THEY BE ACCEPTED IF THEY WERE OLD AND POOR?
” By thinktok on April 27, 2009 4:20 PM
Singapore and Johore can achieve a lot for its citizen if they co-operate sincerely. We lack resources and we rely on Johore for water, sand etc. Surely we would not like to offend Johore.
We have to reclaim land on our territory to make our lives more bearable. You tried to prevend us. Compared to the massive territory that Malaysia has why do you object to Singapore expanding a little bit.
There is a railway crossing at Kranji that narrows to one lane. It is causing massive jam. How would it hurt Malaysia if KTM allows us to widen to a two lane crossing??
So it is important for statemen on both side to play down personal dislikes and just look at national interest.
I do hope the straight bridge will be built one day. The unproductive competition must stop.
Simply put if Malaysia don’t sell us sand how are we going to build our side of the bridge? ”
Dear Thinktok
1. Now do you realize the meaning of “Money Can’t Buy Everything”? Elements that we in Malaysia take for granted unless we are the in business; especially water, and I myself couldn’t imagine being put in a position to resort to “NeuWater” (god forbids).
2. Have you ever thought of the impact that you left behind due to your reclaimation project to the small fishermen in nearby Johor?
2. Have you read how bloggers in your countries comments towards issue in Malaysia and Malaysians? A sign of not a friendly and polite neighbours in general.
3. How well do Singaporeans respond to criticism? Try to read the responses given to Jackie Chan on his takes about Singaporean? I believe he was giving his own personal account when giving that comments. Have you heard about “the Ugly Singaporeans” comment where some of you only behave in your own turf but turn ugly when you are in others?
4. Someone once asked me “Why can we be like Singapore?”, Yes we can I said, but are you ready to live under “HEAVY COERCIVE ISOMORPHISM” ? What was that he asked? To start with “Don’t Ask”, said I.
5. Singapore economy depends heavily in her network, in fact, it is the fourth most networked country in the world. Perhaps, the current global crisis is one of the lessons that Singapore learned the most due to its heavy reliance on the Network. Not that other countries nearby don’t feel the impact, but we still can sustain for awhile longer with out natural resources and domestic activities.
“So what is your point? ” You may ask and the point is simple, we are your closest neighbour that most of you have disregard for a long time and the next time any of you try to put down this country, think again and the same goes to SAYED ALWI(see how much damage the Nuwater has done to some people) who ever you are.
It is Saturday morning here in Kuala Lumpur, I am so looking forward to drive down to my Kampung in Johor and look at the vegie garden that I started a month or so back. Can you Singaporeans do the same?
P.S
It is so funny when I look at the cars with SG registration number speeding on the highway on the way back to Johor. I can’t help but to wonder will those drivers behave the same in SG?

Better be safe than sorry as the saying goes.
it is sheer silly to even think that the crooked bridge is a silly project. The benefits in term of its economic and national resillient should not be overlooked. It is high time that the simplistic and archaic causeway be replaced by the Malaysia boleh scenic bridge. We “lost” Batu Putih, are we to loose again on whether we could or not build this bridge?
Imagine having the simplistic and archaic bridge connecting the mainland Penang witht the Island. No reasonable Penangites would want it. Likewise, Johorians definitely welcome the crooked bridge.
Why crooked? A message to Singapore that by cook or by crook, we would built a bridge to allow free passage of boats/ ships (and even fishes) between South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca. The benefits are mindboggling.
Anyway, why stop a project for which monies had been allocated for? Imagine the job losses as a result of the cancellation and the economic spin off denied as a result of the cancellation.
We should not think as a simpleton. Why have proton? why KLIA, why we have a volodrome (bicycle track), why have Petronas Twin Tower (why not just one tower), Why have Sepang F1 track, why have Putrajaya, KLIA, and many more? Why purchase the Agustus, and why the heck sold it off?
Tun Dr Mahathir had done great for the country. Perhaps we forgot what he had done for malaysians during the financial crisis. is it too much if he wants a bridge not for his sake but for the country sake?
Only when we keep on thinking big, where would our pride be then?How do we secure lavish projects overseas when we had no track record of our own in our own country? Now we can say, not just a tower, we could do even three towers with a bridge in between them.
A straight bridge by any means is still a straight bridge but a “crooked scenic bridge” is a “tourist attraction” just like the twin tower. though not the tallest tower but still is the tallest twin tower in the world.
I hope Singapore would not agree because i love the “crooked bridge”

Did the Singaporean asked the Malaysian goverment consent to reclaim the sea fronting Johor?
To make Johor Baru a more liveable city we should carry out test to close the causeway for traffic on saturday and sunday and divert all traffic to second link.
Only motorbike and pedestrian can cross the causeway. And construct mini monorail to ferry more pedestrian.
What about ferry. Maybe we should introduce ferry ride.
If everything okay, then demolish our part of the bridge. The singapore part can be used for fishing.

1. The bridge must go on. No matter what kind of design it will be used or built or which company will get it done. None of that is your business or limit. Let it be discuss and solved in a correct way and propper channel.
2. Stop condemming about the crooked bridge, lets talk about your attitude and miss behave in this blog. It seems u are the one who is “sakit hati and jiwa kacau”. Do you think Allah doesn’t see u condemming other people. Are u good enough. If u are good Muslim u should aware and know how to respect others people opinion and hopes.
3. Allah keeps you alive untill today because the Almighty wants YOU to give and share the very best and positive thinking of you to other people and society. Allah wants you to know that YOU have a brain and soul so that it can be used and controlled it properly and in correct order.
4. It is a shame trully shame if u are only knows how to critics but doesn’t know how to share the very best positive opinion and ideas from inside you. But the good things about critism is it helps to improved our mindset the chedet.com members and try to absorb it positively.
5. Godfather…have u ask your self for this past few days…what have u done for your goodself, family @ parents, children(if u married), neighbours and so on. Don’t talk or discuss about big matter if u haven’t done nothing good or positive for those above. Improved first your thinking and life style…be honest to yourself and others..don’t be a “bodoh sombong”. Malays always says “Cakap tak serupa bikin”. Remember, Allah is always watching us…not a slightly sight get away, not even under the “tempurung kelapa”.
6. We all are equal..because Allah made us…sooner or later we all will die..so are u well prepared enough? Don’t judge other peoples sin or good that they have done. Don’t ask or gave order to other people to repent, ask it first to yourself.
7. Just to remembering you before it too late, when you are born to this world you were born ALONE and when you die,you will get inside to the “liang lahat” alone..ALONE!…so LU please BE WELL PREPARED…Allah is Maha Penyayang lagi Maha Pengampun…

kepada Dr. Syed Alwi(who Or where ever u are..),
1. terima kasih atas “budi bahasa” serta lontaran pendapat anda kepada chedet dan pemerintahan silam beliau. kami disini sudah membaca dan cuba memahami apa yang terbuku dijiwa dan hati anda. Kata sindiran serta penuh dengan perasaan iri hati itulah yang akan selalu jadi panduan serta peringatan kepada chedet dan kami semua…
2. Ya… Allah yang Maha Esa telah menciptakan semua makhluk di dunia ini berbeza rupa, akal dan fikiran. Ya kami yakni rakyat Malaysia memang mengetahui apa yg terjadi disepanjang pemerintahan chedet…dan adakalanya tindakan beliau ada yg tidak disenangi oleh lawan dan kawan. …kami semua sudah almaklum bukan senang nak memacu negara…memang rambut di kepala sama hitam tapi rasa hati memang lain dan bercampur baur..
3. Dr….tentu anda tahu bahawa idea dan pelaksanaanya daripada buah pemikiran chedet serta pembantu-pembantunya telah berjaya direalisasikan..cuma implimentasi serta penjagaannya tidak dapat dikawal sepenuhnya oleh beliau. Itu sebab ditubuhkan unit, jabatan, badan dan pasukan untuk terus memantau pergerakan dan kemajuan sesuatu projek dan perkembangannya. Jika berlaku sesuatu kepincangan maka satu bentuk tindakan dapat diambil dengan sebaiknya dan berkhemah tetapi sekali lagi…bila ianya diuruskan oleh mereka-mereka yang tidak cekap dan amanah maka keburukan akan berlaku. Bila terjadi maka tersebarlah cerita yg ditokok tambah rencahnya agar ia menjadi lebih pekat dan berapi. Bila ia meletup ianya seolah-olah berpunca dari pemimpin itu. jadi sekali lagi rakyat mudah termakan kata akibat daripada mulut-mulut dusta yg sememangnya bermaharajalela di luar sana.
4. Memang berlaku perkara pelik tetapi benar selama chedet memerintah…tetapi ia berlaku kerana bersebab…dan ia adalah untuk kebaikan semua. Namun begitu terpaksalah ditelan segala yg pahit…dan sudah pasti yg pahit itulah yg paling mujarab ubatnya…
5. kalaulah DSAI ditakdirkan menjadi PM ketika itu adakah Dr Alwi akan keluarkan statement sedemikian rupa…itu kami semua tidak tahu hanya Allah yg tahu…
6. Dr…saya tahu Dr. hamun sebegitu rupa kerana tidak dapat menerima kenyataan bahawa masih terdapat segolongan rakyat Malaysia yg masih menyokong dan sayang pada chedet. tapi takpa kata org-org tua..mula-mula benci lama-lama sayanglah nanti…siap dgn rindu-rinduan lagi…
7. Dr…kalau dtg ke Malaysia nanti jgn lupa cubalah ceritakan keburukan org lain pada sesiapa sahaja…tetapi ingat makan boleh sebarang makan, cakap jgn sebarang cakap…takut nanti tak cukup tanah nak berlari…tercungap nanti…
8. satu lagi Dr..kalau susah hati sgt pun tak boleh…nanti naik darah tinggi…bahaya pada arteri dan jantung…cuba bertenang dan lontarkanlah pendapat dgn lebih berbahasa…cuba dr..yer..cuba…perlahan-lahan insyallah mesti boleh…
9. kepada sahabat2 d chedet.com…jgn lupa beri nasihat serta kata2 semangat kepada mereka yang telah menyimpang jauh…mungkin mereka ini perlukan bimbingan dan sedikit ingatan…almaklumlah…kan mereka ini manusia juga…mudah lupa…ingat yer..jgn agresif..tapi berlembut sedikit…mereka tak sedar…Allah mendengar dan melihat…bantu jgn tak bantu..
10. Dr. jgn lupa tak semua rakyat Singapura sebagus dan semolek yg Dr. sangka…semua sama.. ada positif dan negatif…pemimpin pun sama cuma yg berbeza fahaman politik dan aplikasi ideologi…kita semua manusia…jadi kalau nak menegur biar berasas serta berfakta. Ia semua terjadi akibat dari kita juga…iaitu MANUSIA. Jgnlah rasa segan untuk mengkritik lagi kerana kritikan itu membantu MEMBINA JIWA.
Terima Kasih.

We have to reclaim land on our territory to make our lives more bearable. You tried to prevend us. Compared to the massive territory that Malaysia has why do you object to Singapore expanding a little bit.
There is a railway crossing at Kranji that narrows to one lane. It is causing massive jam. How would it hurt Malaysia if KTM allows us to widen to a two lane crossing??
So it is important for statemen on both side to play down personal dislikes and just look at national interest.
I do hope the straight bridge will be built one day. The unproductive competition must stop.
Simply put if Malaysia don’t sell us sand how are we going to build our side of the bridge?
Salam My Dear Tun,
I know I am like 7 days late to chip in on this issue, but since the announcement to suspend this bridge is out a few years back(which i refuse to rememeber), I outrightly protest and still sore about it till now.
My request is, could we the rakyat, especially the Johorean see, was there actually a real survey done in Johore previously, resulting to the suspension. The people have to be made know what exactly the suvery questions and report look like.What were the findings???
I am a Johorean but none of us (my family)aware when and where was this supposedly survey done.
Even my 67yrs old wise-sharp-minded-retired-teacher mother was not aware of it.She is still very interested to know who are these Johorean that oppose to the building of the bridge, and she would call them ‘Stupidity at their highest level’ people with no vision in life, and I totally agree with her….
I really hope Dear Tun could help us how we could get the Survey report published, since the government is talking about Transparency.
OR was there actually a Survey done at all…?
Wassalam Tun and thanks for bring it up again.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Kepada PM baru kita, apa yang Dato’ idamkan telah Dato’ dapat…sekarang buktikan kepada rakyat bahawa Dato’ bukannya orang yang ‘TIDAK BERANI’ sepertimana yang didakwa oleh sesetengah rakyat…

I fully agree that we need a bridge. but why a crooked bridge? Can we have a straight bridge and if cannot connect with the other half, we make a knot, pusing round, to connect. With that, when the other side change their mind when seeing the new bridge, can connect and make a complete new straight bridge. Also let the other end, pusing kepala when coming into Malaysia and Pusing kepala again when balik rumah.
We have to make a very tall bridge so that very huge vessel can pass through. So with the above cadangan, maybe it’s not 1 pusingan, maybe few pusingan like going into a shopping mall parking lot. That will gurantee a real nausea feeling. The neighbor will complain and hopefully their government will give in to build a connecting bridge.
Tun,
I can see that you can’t forget your Pet project–the crooked bridge to replace the old causeway.I feel you can’t be very happy until that is up & serving the motorists & travellers.It helps cargo traffic too.Of course Malaysia being an independent & sovereign country has the right to build.Obviously the traffic congestion will be somewhat minimised–we have to wait to see the flow first before we can confirm.The second link is underutilised.A higher bridge will certainly facilitate the flow of sea traffic along Johor straits.It will help the business of PTP & Pasir Gudang port.I think that is what Tun is eyeing at.The two ports will gradually provide some competition to PSA–right now one of the most successful & profitable ports if not the most in the world.I hope S’pore does not become too worried about this possible competition.She can fall back on her two integrated casino resorts.But PM Najib said that Bridge project can wait.He is in no hurry to build it.Probably the Govt has other more pressing issues than Bridge issue.

Ayahanda Tun,
To those bloggers who have shown their hatred to Mahathirism,I think they cannot sleep at night because of DEMOCRACY (English) or DEMOKRASI (Malaysia Language). They cannot differentiate from good vs evil, I feel sorry for them because they will block themselves and their future generations to develop further as a decent citizen.
People do not want to know history because people mis-interpreted this subject as the story telling of HIS-STORY, like hard selling own story.
In reality, we need to know his-story (the cause and effect – now it is termed as Cause & Aftermath)so that we can come out with new HIS-STORY, the solution to this crisis.
Obama and Najib are HIS-STORY of this time of the period. Will they be our hero tomorrow, that will depend on HIS-STORY on the solution methods.
Today Tun Dr M still talk, will he be respected tomorrow? It’s up to us to decide “HIS-STORY. However, without Tun’s HIS-STORY, it will be difficult for us to plan for our future. Think about folks!
Good day Ayahanda Tun.
P/S: Why I support PPSMI? Because we need to know science and mathematic to calculate the impact of AfterMath Cause-d by HIS-STORY so that we can come out with a solution that is reliable base on research and statistic, not base on HEARSAY, SPECULATIONS and of course GOSSIP which we were so used to it. Dare to change? If you decide to be a slave (listen to hearsay), then you should reject PPSMI. But if you wanna be a master, you shoulf support PPSMI, the vote in in your hand!

Dear Syed Alwi Ahmad,
Please be sensitive when using “We Singaporeans”.
I am so shocked to read such comment from a so-called Malay Dr and dare to represent Singapore or Singapore Malays be it in this blog or other columns.
Which school are you from ?
What is your favourite teacher name ?
I hope you are not related to any Singapore honourable Syed’s clan.
Maaf Tun.

Izinkan nak menjawab kawan kita dari seberang Tambak tu.
By Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad on April 23, 2009 12:09 AM
Dah lama awak tidak buat lintas langsung. Namun setiap kali kemunculan awak menampakkan tidak berhemah nya seorang doktor yang berfikiran kotor dari segi budi dan bahasa nya. Dan awak tak perlu risau komen awak tidak dapat mempengaruhi apa2 kepada majoriti rakyat malaysia. Komen awak dah ketinggalan dan kami rakyat Malaysia telah pun maju begerak kehadapan untuk membina ONE MALAYSIA.
Cemuhan awak pada TUN tidak realistik. Kenapa soalan yang sama tidak awak ajukan pada LKY kesayangan rakyat Singapura. Apa yang dia lakukan untuk politi nya. Jika LKY dapat bertahan sekian lama sebagai PM kenapa TUN tidak boleh jika rakyat dapat melihatkan keupayaan sesaorang pemimpin itu.
Jelas disini awak ada rasa cemburu akan pencapai TUN. TUN seorang Doktor tapi juga berjaya sebagai seorang PM. Dan awak juga seorang doktor tapi sudah pun hilang identiti bangsa. Kaum minoriti di Singapura sudah hilang maruah dan budaya apabila nilai2 ini dinodai dan dicemari oleh kaum majoriti yang memerintah. Dan kamu sekalian tiada hak untuk mempertikai nya selain menerima sahaja apa yang diberi. Sebalik nya di Malaysia. Kaum minoriti di beri hak bersuara dan di beri layanan yang adil. Di beri peluang untuk bersama2 dalam kerajaan.
Cuma apa yang kamu fahami adalah fakta salah. Kerajaan tidak akan benarkan segelintir sekumpulan kecil masyarakat tidak kira kaum untuk mencetuskan ketengangan atau menganggu keselamatan awam rakyat majoriti. Orang ini pasti dikenakan tindakan. Ini juga berlaku di negara kamu.
Kamu melihat diri sendiri konon nya bijak tapi sayang dan kesal kerana kamu tinggal di sebuah negara yang demokarasi nya dikawal rapi oleh kaum majoriti. Jika seorang yang hebat seperti kamu berada di Malaysia mungkin kamu ada peluang untuk jadi pemimpin yang terkemuka.
Oleh itu sekarang jiwa kamu sebenar nya yang tertekan akan keadaan ini. Untuk menidak kan nya kamu cuba mencari pengaruh di kalangan rakyat Malaysia untuk melepaskan keresahan itu agar rakyat Malaysia mendengar hujah kamu.
Kami tidak perlu di ajar dalam hal politik. Apa tah lagi orang luar seperti kamu. Rakyat Malaysia memang telah matang dan bijak berpolitik untuk sekian lama.
TUN.
Izinkan.

Jelas sangat lah anda bukan seorang Melayu tulin. Dan anda juga tidak akan dialu2kan di Malaysia. Tapi aneh nya anda suka menyebuk dan amat perihatin akan apa yang berlaku di Malaysia.
Anda bergitu tak tau malu dan terasa bebas mengeritik TUN disini.dan anda bergitu seronok melakukan nya. Apakah di Singapura negara yang anda sanjung itu anda boleh melakukan perkara yang sama bila ada sesuatu issu menyentuh pemimpin2 disana. Masakan Mereka semua nya perfect. Ini lah kelebehan yang ada di Malaysia, rakyat bebas untuk bersuara. Namun saya tidak setuju cara anda cuba mencapuri urusan dalaman rakyat Malaysia di sini. Go to hell you and your damn country Singapore.
Apa kah niat sebenar nya anda menghina dan memperlekeh pemimpin2 Melayu dan bangsa Melayu di malaysia. Apa kah anda seorang agen Yahudi yang bertapak di S’pore?.
Kerana usaha TUN untuk 22 tahun lah telah menjayakan Malaysia sampai ketahap sekarang. Pencapaian besar seorang pemimpin dari negara kerdil Malaysia. Tidak seperti Singapore telah dimajukan oleh British sebelum diserahkan pada LKY. Jika tidak saya dapat bayangkan keadaan Singapura tu macam mana, hanya sebuah Pulau kecil. Mungkin anda hanya seorang nelayan sahaja ketika ini.
Seteruk2 nya kaum Melayu disini maseh ramai kami yang ada harta tanah pusaka datuk nenek. Anda di S’pore tu ada apa. Tinggal pun kat rumah merpati.
Harap anda usahlah masuk ke blog ini jika semata2 nak menhina kami Melayu di Malaysia.

Dear Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad,
Are you saying that Malays (or you mean muslim) cannot develop themselve like you? Just because you are Singaporean Malay, you think you are smart and educated, to me, your are in denial stage.
I am wondering why you as a modern muslim can be so cruel and blind by supporting the western policies. Is it because the Singaporean government is controlling freedom of press in Singapore, like a piece of our junk newspaper by the name of News Straight Times (Berita Negeri Selat)that always say directly, indirectly on how trusworthy and reliable our government is?
Do you know why Singapore is rich and has slipped into recession now? It is because Singapore is lead by Chinese. If Singaporean (chinese) applaud such administration, it’s fine with me because those people who were killed were mostly Muslims. What if those people who were killed are from mainland of China, what do you think your government and citizen will do??????
Sometimes we need to see facts from all angles, jangan lah jadi biawak sombong dan berdarah dingin. This is very bad for the image of your Singapore which is ‘tengah” cari makan kat Malaysia. Well Phua Chu Kang has landed in Malaysia with the PCK Sdn Bhd in our NTV 7. Kita rakyat Malaysia tak kata apa2 pun. So, don’t be a blind “dog” (I don’t think you mind me naming you a dog because you are the modern muslim, right?) to talk about justice in our ex-PM blog!!!! Kiasu and bodoh jugak macam UMNOPUTRA LAH, especially that KJ!!!!
Good day Ayahanda Tun.
Dengan Izin Tun..Terima kasih..
Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad
?Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad.I professed I cannot match your intellect and definitely cannot measured up to your achivement as a doctor.I am after all only an office boy.By the way, I assume you are a psychiatrist by profession.
//If the Quran contains so much science – as some here claim – //
As a muslim, one have the right of permission to says something about Al Quran.Unfortunately your shallow thoughts here is so in contrast by your profession.Quran does contains so much science.I would not waste my time to informs you which ayat is which but in one of Ayat Al Quran is the description oh human formation.
“Kemudian air mani itu Kami jadikan segumpal darah, lalu segumpal darah itu Kami jadikan daging, dan segumpal daging itu Kami jadikan tulang belulang, lalu tulang belulang ini Kami bungkus dengan daging. Kemudian Kami jadikan ia mahluk yang (berbentuk) lain. Maka Maha Sucilah Allah, Pencipta yang paling baik.”
This relevation in Al Quran is many thousand years before Dr..the likes of you manages to proof it as so.
//why is it that the Muslim world is so far backwards scientifically//
In response to your argument, I safely says that you have overlooks the hadith that explains how things are done according to muslim.You have selected certains part of Al Quran and ignored it holistically.Why Muslim worlds is far backwards ?
They had Allah punishment for not adhering to the very Muslim tenet itself that is practising knowledge.
//
Mula mula si Mahathir berkelahi dengan Tunku. Lepas to Ku Li. Lepas tu Musa Hitam. Lepas tu Anwar Ibrahim. Lepas tu si Abdullah Badawi. And now if Najib does not do what he says – Mahathir will condemn Najib. Inikah gaya ahli politik Malaysia yang kamu sanjung tu ?//
Why Tun have to go against Tunku ? Don’t you for a moment have it inside you to believe that ‘somebody’ that is rakyat have implored and begged Tun to put up this crusade..ooops sorry.This Jihad?
Tun have what it takes to employs Jihad our own ways far beyond your intellectual understanding..And I have no doubt in putting up to you that you cherish Singapore parted ways with Malaysia by Tunku ‘decree’.This is where we parts company too.You believe Tunku had done justice by this act but Tun Dr Mahathir and all of us does not believe so..
Ku Li case? Same concept applies.Musa Hitam?…Ooo are we so lucky Tun have seen his ‘noble’ ways and act aptly countering it.
I’m sorry to say this publicly – but you Malaysians have been shortchanged by psychotic and neurotic – and perhaps schizophrenic Ultras. Its time you moved on. Mahathir cannot be right all the time. Takkanlah si Mahathir tu maksum !! Mahathir himself is guilty of the same accusations he throws at others in UMNO. Mahathir is no better than the rest.
Tell me – what are the pros and cons of this Crooked Bridge ? What are the results of the various feasibility and cost studies ? Anwar Ibrahim..?? What you needs to asks?? And Abdullah Badawi too??
Again? You need to aks why??..We all see it as ‘malignant neoplasm’ that is need to be operated and rid of Malaysian body.We differ in the opinion but safe to says your well mean intentions is clearly potrayed in your writing regarding Al Quran my Holy Book.
//We Singaporeans are NOT interested in returning to Malaysia. We are not used to Ketuanan Melayu. And judging by how Malaysia is turning out today – we are quite happy WITHOUT Ketuanan Melayu.//
Ahah!!..Got you there..I admit Lim Kuan Yew is a nice person and just.Same goes with George Bush, Ariel Sharon,Radovan Karadzic and the list goes on..I admitted it according to their people perception.But to our perceptions..they are just opposites.
Do you realizes psychitrist love to play God? Pontificating in the chair opposite the couch..He tells his subject of what is real and what is not..And the biggest kick he got is he is well paid by the subject that subjected to his whim and fancy.
I am telling ?Dr Syed Alwi his tricks only works for his subjects.I am sooo glad Tun Mahathir is my doctor and not your kind.
Best Regards
Office Boy.
Salam buat TUN & Family,
Saya sebagai anak jati Johor & juga generasi muda amat menyesali tindakan yg dilakukan oleh Pak Lah kerana menghentikan pembinaan “Crooked Bridge” ini.
Sebenarnya, Pak Lah tidak cukup memahami perasaan rakyat malaysia terutamanya Warga JB yang berkerja di Singapura yang sanggup menempuh kesesakkan berjam2, tiap2 hari di Tambak Johor demi mencari rezeki utk membesarkan anak2 mereka.
Dengan pembinaan “Crooked Bridge”, sekurang2nya dpt membantu mengurangkan kesesakan, menjimatkan masa perjalanan & menarik lebih ramai rakyat Singapura utk berbelanja di Malaysia. Secara tidak langsung dpt merancakkan ekonomi negara kita. Sebab itu, Chinese businessman menggesa kerajaan skrg utk meneruskan pembinaan “Crookee Bridge”.
Sebenarnya, kerajaan M’syia tidak perlu meminta kebenaraan dr pihak Singapura utk pembinaan “Crooked Bridge”. Sesungguhnya S’pura tdk akan bersetuju kerana ianya merupakan satu “Nightmare” kpd mereka yg mana secara tdk langsung akan menjejaskan ekonomi mereka.
Semoga rintihan rakyat JB mendapat perhatian drp DS Najib.

My dear Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad (on April 23, 2009 12:09 AM)
I believe, there must be a reason for your desire for writing this issue was not mentioned here. Maybe you may not understand what the nature of your agenda you address about. Let us explain to you whether you are modern or educated Malay as you claimed, as well as using all extreme bombastic language or whatsoever
Dear Tun,
It would be a good idea to rekindle the idea of the “scenic” bridge now, especially so with the winds of recession blowing our way. It would ensure the generation of jobs fro the people of Johor who may have been laid off from Singapore.
It would be probably accurate to say that Singapore should cooperate with us in this matter (so that the bridge is no longer crooked or scenic) seeing the their economy and GDP is shrinking faster that ice cream on a hot stove. I will probably add a few percentage points in their construction industry.
Besides the economic benefits, the new crossing will alleviate the chronic traffic congestion across the causeway, improve the environment along the straits of Johor etc, all in line with the original conceptual aims of the bridge.
It should be time for us to do things on our terms rather that the terms of others for a change.
Salam tun,
Saya rasa kita dah mcm takut nak buat something sampai kena tunggu “green light” dari negara luar baru kita boleh buat…walaupun di dalam wilayah kita sendiri…

SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
IZINKAN,
OUR SEARCH FOR CHEDET.CC DREW A BLANK SCREEN FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS..WONDERED WHY?
5. There was for a very short while complaints regarding the Custom, Immigration and Quarantine complex. No one explained that the inconvenience was due to the complex being designed to complement the proposed bridge but when the bridge was cancelled a temporary road was built to join the complex with the causeway. This caused a misfit as the two could not be properly linked together. Hence the inconvenience. In addition the traffic problems near the causeway remained unsolved..
AYAHANDA TUN WAS MERELY STATING NEWPAPERS REPORTS AND THE RAKYAT COMPLAINTS ON THE CURRENT SITUATION AT THE CAUSEWAY AND VIEWS OF THE JB FOLKS WHO WANTED THE ‘BENDED'(TO ENLIGHTEN SOME ‘CROOKED’ THOUGHTS) BRIDGE.
AND IF THE ‘BENDED’ BRIDGE PROJECT IS TO BE REINSTATED, WE BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PROCEED ‘NOW’ BUT AT A LATER DATE WHEN THE ECONOMY HAD STABLISHED. WE ARE NOT AS STUPID AS AN ‘ALIEN’ MODERN AND EDUCATED MALAY CLAIMED TO BE..THE MAGICAL DONKEY TALKING THRU HIS ANNOYING ASSHOLE.. OF DONKEYED DONKEYS!
PERHAPS, WE MAY USHER THE LIKES OF DR. ‘SAA’ (STUPID ANNOYING ASSHOLE) , GODFATHER(COCKFATHER MORE LICKABLE) AND ABI(AGGRAVATED BEHIND INJURY)TO THE DUMPS OF CHEDET.CC WHERE THEY CAN ‘RAPE'(ROAM AND PUKE ETERNALLY) AMONGST THEMSELVES AND THE HABITATS.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS.
SEMOGA WAWASAN 2020 MENJADI ‘JAMBATAN LURUS’ BAGI GENERASI MENDATANG
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
Most Malaysian feels that they have to fit in.
Joy is in acceptance and acknowledgment.
They are followers too – always stay on the line, off the line is not reasonable.[Tidak percaya kepada kemampuan diri, terbelenggu oleh apa yang diajar oleh teks book teks book yang pengajarannya adalah cetusan pengalaman dari hasil yang sememangnya dipelopori oleh negara2 barat].
Where are the environment factors, adaptation and innovation?
Oh..,, it is more convenient to just apply what was taught, written, read, said – easy and safe mah ?
To some Malaysian, anything foreign is fantastic.
Huh.., take the financial crisis 1997/98 for example, the sceptical among us said that ..
The Star – Chinese businessmen – Johor Baru -Crooked Bridge
PLEASE HOLD A REFERENDUM FROM JB RESIDENTS. LETS RAKYAT JB DECIDE.
… or is it that no one dared to differ from the open-minded and liberal ex-PM or the Press did not dare to report the real opinions of the people. DONT’ BE RHETORIC. JUST HOLD A REFERENDUM.
No one explained that the inconvenience was due to the complex being designed to complement the proposed bridge but when the bridge was cancelled a temporary road was built to join the complex with the causeway. This caused a misfit as the two could not be properly linked together. Hence the inconvenience. CAN YOU COME DOWN HERE WITH ALL YOUR PLANS & PAPERWORKS & DISTRIBUTE TO THE US RAKYAT FOR A WHOLE MONTH, WE WILL GIVE OUR OPINION. LET BUILT A BRIDGE THAT RAKYAT JB DECIDE FOR ONCE.
Does the Government need to ask Singapore for permission to build the now desirable crooked bridge? THE ANSWER IS NO. BUT DO YOU NEED PERMISSION FROM SINGAPORE TO LINK YOUR CROOKED BRIDGE WITH THEIRS? OR YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE A GAP OF 1 CM. ARE YOU NOT ENCROACHING THEIR LITTLE AIR (THE INVISIBLE LINE) SPACE WHILE CONSTRUCTION? ARE YOU GOING TO DO THING LIKE MALAYSIAN WHEREBY THINGS NEEDED TO BE DONE WITHOUT CARING FOR A LITTLE SENSE OF HUMANITY. WITHOUT CARING FOR THE RULES/REGULATIONS?
Is Malaysia free to do things in its own territory? Are we really independent? YES. I wonder. NO NEED TO. BUT CAN YOU GET PERMISSION FROM RAKYAT JB FIRST? HOLD A REFERENDUM. WHY IS TRAFFIC JAM IS YOUR CONCERN? WHY BY BUILDING MORE YOU MEANS CAN SOLVE THE TRAFFIC WOES?? NOW I AM WONDERING??? IS THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS SOLVED IN KL?? I WONDER. WHAT ABOUT BANGKOK?? I WONDER?? i wonder how? i wonder why?
Salam Tun
Kesianlah kat orang-orang johor, bila projek jambatan herot tu yang dah separuh siap dibatalkan.. jangan lah take for granted ngan orang-orang johor ni.. yang setia kat BN.. wat suka hati lak nak batalkan .. sebabnye mereka ingat, bina tak bina sure nye orang johor undi BN.. Buat lak jambatan kat Penang.. senang nak melawat guan eng ke? umpama bagi bunga balas ngan tuba
Dear Tun,
I am an civil engineer by profession and specializing in road and traffic engineering.
I’m not too convinced on the economic benefits of having a crooked bridge in place of the existing causeway. Due to the traffic congestion that this causeway brings to Johor Bahru town, I would be more inclined to close the causeway altogether and designate the 2nd bridge at Gelang Patah to be the official gateway into Malaysia.
Then, if you want to allow ships to go to Tanjung Pelepas Port, Malaysia could simply demolish our portion of the causeway.
Singapore would not have any right to protest against this because as a sovereign nation, only we can decide where our international gateways should be located.
On another matter, I think Malaysia (and Johor) should seriously think of reclaiming land in the direction of Singapore in response to Singapore’s land reclamation program which has caused environmental and political impact to Malaysia.
We should have our own reclamation program so that one day Malaysia and Singapore will have a land boundary !!! I think that would cause more concern to Singapore than it would to us.
Yours sincerely,
Azlan
Ayahanda Tun,

Bye Ayahanda Tun.
Can’t believe we’re even pondering about this crooked bridge. WE need a straight bridge, and straight people in Malaysia as well.
Salam TUN,
To,Godfather and Kamenrider,
Please ponder over this.
Currently,the Port of Spore is the world’s busiest port in terms of total shipping tonnage,it also tranships fifth of the world’s shipping containers as the world’s busiest container port,half of the world’s annual supply of crude oil,and is the world’s busiest transhipment port.It was also the busiest port in terms of total cargo tonnage handled until 2005,when it was surpassed by the Port of Shanghai.Thousands of ships drop anchor in the harbour,connecting the port to over 600 other ports in 123 countries and spread over six continents.
The Port of Singapore is not a mere economic boon,but aneconomic necessity due to the fact that Singapore is lacking in land and natural resources.The Port is critical for importing natural resources,and then later re-exporting them after they have been refined and shaped in some manner,for example wafer fabrication or oil refining to generate revenue.Only then can the service industry such as hospitality services typical of a port of call,for example,restocking a ship’s food and water supplies,take their role.
The Straits of Johor is currently impassable by all ships as the Johor Singapore Causeway links Singapore to Malaysia.
Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Perlepas can assumed the position of Spore port.
The waterway can be clear up for ship to sail thru.
First we must build a brige,so that ships can sail thru.
Remember,aircraft carrier USS Enterprise can berth at North Port,Port Klang.Malaysia has world class port.
Finally,Malaysia can gain a piece of the economic pie
Dr Syed Alwi:
You asked about Cyberjaya. According to the theory of Mahathirism, the answer would be “When I was PM, it was OK, but it went downhill after I retired and my successor really screwed up.”
Mahathirism is about putting the blame at others. “Bukan gua bikin.” “Orang lain yang bikin.” “Gua tak tau apa yang telah jadi.” “Gua tak ingat.” Yes, Mahathirism is another term for selective amnesia.
“Rela kah orang2 Melayu hilang negara dan identitinya?”
What has a crooked bridge gotta do with this ? Only a stupid person would think that the Malays would lose their identity by NOT building a crooked (or even straight) bridge. Everything here has to do with economics – who gains, who loses. Everything that UMNO touches is CROOKED – even when UMNO builds a straight bridge. Everything that UMNO talks about is crooked – only benefitting UMNOputras, but leaving the rest of the Malays behind. Who is behind the crooked bridge ? Gerbang Perdana. You think that Dr M would be fighting hard if a company not controlled by his cronies is behind the bridge ?
Stop talking about the crooked bridge, Dr M. Talk about your selective amnesia at the commission of inquiry on the “Correct, correct, correct” case.
Allah keeps you alive for this long because the Almightly wants YOU to see for yourself the mess you have created in this country. Allah wants you to know the diviseness you have created amongst our people. Allah wants you to know that YOU have squandered much of the country’s wealth through cronyism. Allah wants YOU to repent.
TUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1)IS SARAWAK A DIFFERENT COUNTRY???
SOMETIMES I BEGIN TO WONDER WHETHER PEOPLE OR THE MINISTERS IN WEST MALAYSIA OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN SARAWAK AND SABAH.THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CROOKED BRIDGE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS…..BUT HERE IN BORNEO IS A DIFFERENT WORLD….WHAT HAPPENED IN SARAWAK IS FAR WORST THAN WHAT HAPPENED IN WEST MALAYSIA…CORRUPTION ARE SOOO WIDESPREAD BUT PEOPLE IN THE WEST DONT CARE THAT MUCH AS LONG AS SARAWAK HELP BN TO WIN IN THE ELECTION.
PEOPLE HERE DONT HAVE THE FACILITIES LIKE THE WEST MALAYSIANS DO, BUT NOBODY CARES AS LONG AS THE BN WINS………BYE
i wanna say something regarding your question..it’s not an answer but yeah just opinion k.
Sarawak is obviously a state and not a country..but,people tend to make it sounds like “sarawak is country”.i’m sarawakian as well.i love chatting.because i want to learn how people act,are they telling you the truth and so on.can i say it psychology?ok back to the story.since i love to chat,usually i will chat with people from west malaysia aka peninsular malaysia.how sad i was whenever i said i’m from east malaysia,do you know what were the response?here>>which state?terengganu?kelantan?oh my god.do you know that malaysia is separated into to regions which are west malaysia(peninsular) and east malaysia(sbh and srwk).well usually i will trick them by telling them that i’m from east malaysia.i asked them to guess where am i from.since i told them i’m from east m’sia.yes again,kelantan,terengganu as well.what an easy question.its either sabah or sarawak right?don’t you think so.i think only the people who are from east m’sia are aware with “east m’sia” thingy.
PEOPLE IN THE WEST DONT CARE THAT MUCH AS LONG AS SARAWAK HELP BN TO WIN IN THE ELECTION.
Do you why?we are not under UMNO.why sabah even better?because sabah is under UMNO.ya at least better right.as you can see,at least we can see in the news about sabah.and sarawak?sometimes.most of the time?NO! by the way,WE ARE UNDER STATE GOVERNMENT,Kerajaan Sarawak.
and yes my reply seems to be so bias.talk about bias..bias for sarawak and even the people happens without you and i realize it(seriously i don’t even know how to express it in exact words)even in singing competition,among students and so on.i wonder what people think about sarawak.what?still live on the tree?but seriously some people do think like that.
ok stop here.sorry if you guys don’t even understand what am i trying to say.my english kinda kelam kabut.if i do offend you guys,i’m really sorry.it was just my opinion and just ignore me if you disagree with it.ok thanks ya~

Apa dah jadi dengan PM baru kita… awal awal dah takut nak bertanding di DUN Penanti.. buat malu UMNO aje.. agak selama ni tak pernah perahih duit ke..
UMNO mempunyai jentera pilihanraya dan kekuatannya,gunakan sebaik-baiknya. Jadi tidak timbul soal terlalu banyak politiking hingga tidak menumpukan perhatian kepada negara dan rakyat…
Takkan oleh kerana satu DUN aje maka 3 juta ahli UMNO plus BN nak ke Penanti… Gunakan Jentera UMNO/BN aje le…
Memalukan dan penakut…
Asalamualaikum wbt.. Yang dihurmati lagi dikasihi Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed sekeluarga. Saya amat bersyukur kepada Allah SWT diatas limpah kurnia Nya dapat merasai dan hidup dibawah pemerintahan Tun Dr M selama 22 tahun. Suatu pemerintahan yang amat baik dari seorang Pemimpin Agung dimana menjadi Power Dunia pada ketika itu. Dunia menyanjungi dan mendengar kata kata Tun sebagai seorang Pemimpin yang disanjungi dan disegani oleh pihak kawan dan lawan.
Sebagai rakyat Neg. Johor, saya amat berbangga dan bersetuju jika perkara “CROOKED BRIDGE” dapat diteruskan kerana saya percaya ianya dapat menjana pendapatan yang besar bagi Malaysia amnya dan seluruh rakyat dan Neg. Johor khasnya.
Sebagaimana negeri-negeri lain di Malaysia yang mempunyai pelabuhan, menjadi negeri yang kaya serta dapat menyumbang kepada pembangunan negara sehingga kini, sebelum ditawan oleh pembangkang. Rakyat yang dihasut oleh pembangkang mengatakan, kononnya kerajaan telah menyalahgunakan wang minyak Petronas…, tanpa menyedari bahawa sebahagian besar wang tersebut digunakan atau diagih-agihkan kesemua negeri di Malaysia ini… Takkan Neg. Terengganu nak makan sendiri hasil pendapatan negara… apa hal orang lain… Hingga sanggup mengatakan itu hak semua hak mereka.. Wajib berkongsi untuk kemakmuran rakyat dan negara.. (adil dan saksama)
Maka sekiranya “Crooked Bridge” ini dibina {{sebagai menggantikan Tambak Johor yang sengaja dibina oleh pihak British ketika itu bagi menyekat kemajuan Johor/Malaysia sebagai usaha Inggeris/Yahudi menjadikan Singapura pelabuhan ke empat terbesar dunia ketika itu demi kepentingan Yahudi di Asia. Masa tu tak nampak permainan Yahudi/Inggeris}} maka ianya akan dapat menjana pendapatan bagi generasi rakyat Malaysia dimasa akan datang. Jadi tak le dikatakan kita semua ni hanya dok perabihkan duit petronas aje… dimana sebenarnya seluruh rakyat Malaysia baik daripada BN, PAS, DAP dan PKR dll, malah segenap lapisan masyarakat, selama ini tanpa disedari mereka juga sama-sama menikmati hasil duit minyak Petornas.. tetapi yang buruk nama..Kerajaan BN jua lah…
Mengapa dibatalkan Projek tersebut.. tidak kah plh sedar akan akibat atau kebaikan perkara tersebut..?? Tidakkah terfikir ianya boleh menjadikan Malaysia sebagai salah satu pelabuhan terbesar dunia?? seperti singapura suatu ketika dulu..?? Sejarah harus dikaji…
Atau hanya kerana nak menunjuk kuasa atau balas dendam. Alah… ceritanya macam orang baru jadi pengetua sekolah, tak pasal-pasal pokok tempat berteduh ditebangnya, katanya suatu perubahan!!. Hanya kerana nak tunjuk kuasa. Lepas tu, puas hatinya. Walhal langsung tidak membawa manfaat. Gila kuasa atau bodoh namanya..
Maka, dibawah kepimpinan Dato Seri Najib, kami berharap projek tersebut dapat dipertimbangkan untuk diteruskan. Kalau kita tak berani bermodal atau berkorban, manakan dapat menjana hasil yang lebih hebat untuk negara dan rakyat. Kalau tak pecahkan ruyong, masakan dapat sagunya.
Akhirkata, ampun maaf dipinta. Jika ada salah dan silap, jangan simpan didalam hati.
Bersih, Cekap, Amanah.
Together, we are the best.
Wassalam.
Dear Malaysians,
Let me ask you this question. Where is Multi-Media Super Corridor today ? What about Cyberjaya ? The answer is > MELINGKUP
Dear Tun Assalamualaikum,
1. Pembatalan jembatan bengkok ini yg dibuat kerajaan sebelum ini bukan lah suatu yang win-win scenario.
2. Sehingga ini Singapura masih menambak laut diseberang Tanjung Penawar. Tuan-tuan pembahas boleh tengok sendiri dalam Google Earth. Malah Kerajaan Singapura tidak pernah consult Kerajaan Malaysia untuk kerja kerja menambak, mereka bebas menambak atas alasan ia dilakukan dalam wilayah mereka yg berdaulat
3. Oleh itu adalah wajar Kerajaan Malaysia yg baru meneruskan pembinaan jambatan ini kerana ia berada dalam Wilayah Malaysia yang berdaulat.
4. Saya masih ingat semasa Pak Lah membatalkan projek ini , Peguam negara kata Kerajaan Malaysia expose kepada legal action dari kerajaan Singapura, tetapi AG tidak menyatakan dengan jelas apakah legal action tesebut.
5. Saya yakin Pak Lah pada masa itu tertekan oleh pihak tertentu yg mahukan jambatan ini dibatalkan. Apakah tekanan itu datang dari US Allahualam.
6. Kenapa mesti takut jika ia dibuat dalam wilayah kita sendiri? Itu yang saya tak faham kenapa Pak Lah batalkan projek ini. Dia sepatutnya menagguhkan sahaja menggunakan alasan ekonomi. Jelas penasihat beliau tidak menasihati beliau dengan betul pada masa itu. Apakah yang beliau akan tulis dalam biografinya nanti mengenai jambatan ini.
7. Adakah Datuk Najib dikonsult semasa jambatan ini dibatalkan. Datuk Najib perlu membuat penjelasan adakah dia menyokong pembatalan jambatan ini atau membuat keputusanya sendiri. Maksud saya jika dia tidak dikonsult semasa Pak Lah membatalkan jembatan tersebut, sudah tentu beliau bebas membuat keputusan mengenai masa depan jambatan itu hari ini.
8. Semua tahu Singapura sangat inginkan jembatan ini di batalkan kerana kapal kapal dagang tidak perlu lagi melalui pelabuhan Singapura untuk ke Laut China Selatan atau Selat Melaka. Ini sudah tentu merugikan mereka.
9. Dengan adanya laluan air bawah jambatan Singapura tidak dapat lagi memantau perjalanan kapal tentera khususnya kapal selam Malaysia dari Sepanggar ke Lumut. Jika berlaku peperangan kapal perang Malaysia dari pantai barat tidak boleh ke pantai timor atau ke Malaysia Timor .
10. Oleh itu the stake is very high to singapore jika Malaysia meneruskan pembinaan jambatan ini. Oleh itu ia mesti dihentikan dengan apa cara sekalipun. Malah saya yakin jika ia diteruskan Singapura akan mencucuk media barat untuk memburuk-burukkan imej PM dengan mengaitkan nya sebagai “Mahathirism’.
11. Tetapi PM Datuk Najib tiada pilihan , hanya masa menentukan samada
A)mengambil keputusan kabinet untuk mengarahkan EPU atau JKR mengkaji kemungkinan untuk meneruskan projek.
B) mengambil keputusan kabinet untuk menangguhkan projek atas alasan ekonomi.
C) mengambil keputusan kabinet untuk meneruskan projek untuk mengurangkan kesesakan CIQ dan Bandar JB dan untuk membersihkan kualiti air Selat Johor yg sangat tercemar
12. Diharap Datuk Najib tidak terlalu lama membuat keputusan kerana beliau sedang diperhatikan dan dinilai oleh ramai orang mengenai mengenai keputusan ini. Apa apa keputusan pun biarlah ia dapat memuaskan hati rakyat Malaysia., bukan dilihat memuaskan hati pemerintah Singapura.
13. Datuk Najib dan penasihat 2nya diharap mengambil perhatian mengenai kes jambatan bengkok ini kerana
Dear Malaysians do not rush to support or not to support building the bridge (crooked or better still a straight bridge)cos in the long run the taxpayer and the nation (public money) will have to bear all the cost.We have being taken a ride by bad decisions by our politicians in the past cos the cost involved is huge ( past and future mega projects) and the raayat don’t have the final say. In future the contracts and total cost should be made available to all Malaysians and Parliament and all need to be transparent and to avoid any allegations of corruptions and hanky panky. If we are clean and honest why not! Contracts signed should benefit the people and not just few which is being practised now. Don’t rush to make hasty decisions and regret later. We have already paid a lot of compensation which in the first place shouldn’t happen if the contracts is properly presented. Any developments which benefits the raayat is good as long as no irregularities is involved and the country will prosper. The people elected their representatives and hope they are clean,honest,fair and sincere in their dealings with the raayat. This is their duty to all Malaysians.

Janganlah nak menjampuk perihal Malaysia. Duduk aje kat Singapore tu dan tumpahkan taat setia kamu pada pemerintah disana. Claim yourself to be modern educated malay in Singapore. Berapa kerat modern educated Singapore malay in Singapore macam kamu? Bolih bilang dengan jari. Kalau modern pun kebanyakannya berfikiran cetek macam kamu. Developments in Malaysia bukan nya untuk melayu saje tapi untuk negara. Untuk melayu ada berbagai2 projek2 dan pembangunan yang kamu tak tahu telah dan sedang dikendalikan olih kerajaan Malaysia.
Kalau tak kaji dengan sepenuhnya janganlah nak komen2. Tersilap komen nampak kebodohan sendiri. Kalau tak setuju dengan pentadbiran Malaysia tak usahlah sibuk2. Lagi pun kamu takde hak nak komen. Mungkin kat Singapore tak bolih komen2 tentang kerajaan Singapore kut? Nanti kena tangkap,turun pangkat atau tindakan olih kerajaan, jadi tumpang komen dan caci kerajaan orang lain. Nak lepas geram konon. Kalau nak bandingkan diri kamu dengan Tun apa jasa kamu kepada melayu Singapore? Tak pernah dengar diTV atau terbaca dalam surat khabar pun.
Malaysian malays would never want to be like Singapore malays. Modern and educated but……………

Tun kata:
4. Is it because no one in Johore at that time really wanted the bridge, or is it that no one dared to differ from the open-minded and liberal ex-PM or the Press did not dare to report the real opinions of the people.
Pandangan saya:
1. BLOG
Pak Lah tak de blog sehebat blog Chedet untuk dapat maklumat terus dari rakyat.Pak Lah pernah wujudkan ruang untuk rakyat sampaikan mesej “Warkah untuk PM”. Saya pernah hantar tapi tak tahu samada sampai kat Pak Lah. Itulah yang saya katakan berkali2 para pemimpin berhati2lah dengan pembantu2nya. Kadang2 depa buat keputusan sendiri apa maklumat yang perlu disampaikan kepada pemimpin.
Pengendali (moderator) blog Tun ni boleh katakan handal.
Bagaimanapun Tun, saya percaya ramai rakyat Malaysia cuba menyampaikan maklumat melalui saluran lain. Misalnya, saya sendiri kerap menghantar emel kepada seorang Ahli Majlis Teringgi UMNO penggal lepas supaya sampai maklumat ketidakpuasan akar umbi kepada Pak Lah. Saya masih simpan banyak emel2 yang saya hantar dahulu antaranya ramalan saya berkaitan PRU 12. Samada bekas Ahli MT tersebut baca atau tidak emel saya ,wallahu Alam. Tapi emel saya yang awal dapat “reply”. Kepada yang berkenaan mohon dirahsiakan nama saya kerana saya lebih suka tidak dikenali. Kalau beliau tak kenal lagi baik. Saya lebih minat kerjaya saya cuma komen politik ini semata2 sumbangan yang termampu saya kepada UMNO yang telah berjasa kepada saya sejak dari bangku sekolah.

To those who insist to build the bridge, pls consider these:
1. Ships still cannot sail in, there is already the second causeway blocking at the West. Take a look at any MY/SG Map (http://www.maplandia.com/singapore/)
2. The Johor Strait is very shallow and narrow, it does not allow most ships to sail
3. The Johor Strait is a LONGER distance to sail from West to East or vice versa, the shallow and narrow water makes sea vehicles sail slower. Doesnt make economical sense for ship owners. Check the map again.
4. Under international law, a country cannot unilaterally run a bridge across another country. It needs consensus from both parties.
5. You cannot unilaterally join your new bridge into Singapore, if you cut the water pipe, Singapore has right to declare war.
6. Having the bridge will not improve traffic flow. The problem is with customs management.
7. How on earth will having the bridge improve economy? Please explain.
Komen paling gila babi pernah saya dengar dari bekas ahli kabenet MALAYSIA (bukan singapore tau!!)si shahril samad.
Adaka dia kata kita patut tanya singapore kalau nak buat bridge tu. Dia tu kerje untuk negara mana? Malaysia ke Singapore?
Mentaliti macam ni tak sepatutnya ada pada menteri2 kita.
Hatta Ahli jawantankuasa kecil umno pun kalau ada mentaliti macam ni……habis negara….
sungguh memalukan
Assalamualaikum Tun Yang Amat Dihormati,
1.Menyokong penuh,sekiranya DSNTR dapat menjayakan rancangan pembinaan semula jambatan serta perancangan lain yang berdaya maju untuk jangkamasa panjang yang berada dalam ‘koma’sekejap semasa pemerintahan Tun Lah.
2.Berharap kepimpinan DSNTR juga sentiasa menangkis serangan fitnah,hasutan dan cubaan menggagalkan rancangan kerajaan dalam pembangunan negara dari pihak pembangkang,pengkhianat negara dan musuh dari luar.Cabaran yang dihadapi oleh pihak kerajaan adalah berat sekali.Harapkan parti pembangkang…..???Inilah kesan kelemahan kepimpinan yang lalu,terlalu terbuka…padahnya ramai yang sudah pandai kurang ajar dan tunjuk pandai(sebenarnya lagak lebih).
Semoga Tun dan Tun Siti sihat sentiasa dan dirahmati Allah.

Dr. Syed Alwi Ahmad is a modern,progessive Singapore Malay.Really?
You just managed to show yourself off as ignorant,and downright bloody stupid.
“Lu Melayu,skru pun tak boleh buat” is a phrase I will never ever forget since I first heard it a few times in the 70’s.
Thanks to Tun’s policies,he managed to turn a generation of Malays to be technically proficient.
And you dare comment Tun as superficial?Did you not study how Tum managed the economic crisis of 97?How can you claim to be a Dr.?
From one Singapore son to another,please look yourself in the mirror.You are a moron masquerading as a Dr.

This is my reply to cklife who left a comment on April 20, 2009 at 8:31 AM.
Yo! Bro.
Baca lah Tun’s message tu betul2 dulu. Kalau tak akibatnya buat lah comment half-past six yang macam hang buat tu.
Lagi satu, sahlah hang memang tak tau the background of the issue. Tau2 nak menghentam aje tapi menampakkan kedangkalan diri sendiri.
Kan title posting ni “The Crooked Bridge” so siapa pula yang mencadangkan nak buat bridge yang melanggar Singapore’s territory? Kalau nak bina straight bridge memang le kena deal dgn Singapore.
Asal dulu memang nak buat straight bridge tapi dah orang sebelah sana membantah, Tun cadangkan the crooked bridge so tak yah nak ganggu jiran punya kawasan. Betul tak Tun?
The proposed crooked bridge tu mungkin nampak odd dari segi design nya tapi it can be taken as a symbol of our sovereignty and freedom to develop our own territory without the need to consult or obtain an agreement from our neighbour. Ha tu dia! Kan chek dah guna bahasa omputih sebab geram sgt kena jelaskan benda2 simple macam ni kat orang yang malas nak faham atau buat2 tak faham macam hang ni.
Dah memang trend selkarang terlampau ramai golongan yang merasakan dia aje pandai dan betul dalam hal2 demokrasi, pentadbiran negara dan hak rakyat. Tapi semuanya berlandaskan pemikiran dangkal dan emosi semata. Dah hancuq kena racun dek pengikut2 si mata lebam tu.
So, cklife, lain kali mantapkan dulu pengetahuan hang dan buat homework dulu baru le dapat beri pandangan bernas. Ini main hentam kromo aje. Belajaq lagi ok.
Tun,
Good Morning TUN, why are you are only so concerned about the crooked bridge and double track project? What about other projects like Penang 2nd Bridge, the contractor & Govt. is dragging their feet to start the project. Why not you recommend to send someone or MACC to investigate why the project cost so much?
I have a story to tell you. One day while I was in a shopping mall in Penang, I over-heard a conversation between a Malay mother with her 7-8 years old daughter. The mother is scolding her daughter for having a bad habit of rubbing or cleaning her hands using her mother
salam Tun,
some people cannot fathom the mind of a genius because God did not grant them the facilities of foresight,hence they will oppose projects like The Penang Bridge,NS Highway,KLIA,Putrajaya etc.
People like Godfather and ABI certainly belong to this group.I hope these retards will live long enough to see and realise the benefits of the scenic bridge project and realise their sheer stupidity.

Dear Tun,
The low traffic into JB is because CIQ was designed to divert traffic from Singapore to Stulang.
From I have to exit into Shell station and head for the interchange at Lingkaran Dalam – Terbrau Highway. Due to the constant jam at the exit into JB from theat interchange, I just go straight along Lingkaran Dalam thus by-pass JB.
Now, this is only a small problem.
When the Eastern Dispersal Link EDL linking the North-South Highway to CIQ via Bakar Batu is completed, all Singapore cars will go straight from CIQ via Bakar Batu to N-S Highway and forget about JB.
If Mahathir gets his wish to build a crooked bridge, the toll in JB side will increase to RM10.80. I think with no difference in price with Second Link, all Singapore cars will choose Second Link and give Crooked Bridge a miss. Lets say, Crooked Bridge Authorities then flip flop and drop price to RM8.00. Singapore CIQ will increase price from current S$1.20 to S$3,50 thus and neutralize the price reduction of Crooked Bridge Authorities.
That will force the Crooked Bridge Authorities to flip flop again and drop price and start losing money. But as in all negotiated contract, the government will compensate Gerbang Perdana heavily due to low traffic.
That is only a small problem. The side effect will be greater. Return trip the traffic to Singapore via Terbrau Highway will drop because all the cars would have refueled in N-S Highway will go straight to CIQ to Singapore thus by-pass sururban of JB.
There we have it, a WHITE ELEPHANT courtesy of Mahathir. What a way to end the magnificent legacy built over 22 years.
Yours,
John SEET
Crooked sounds unhealthy. It should have a nice name. The real issue is the issue of recognition. Like so and so build the bridge and so and so is remembered. The creation of the bridge is easy. It is what is going on behind the scene. The implications. The meanings. What people think when they see the bridge. If the bridge intrudes into Singapore’s territory, it is only polite to ask their permission. There is no problem with the money ( if there is enough money ), there is no problem with the building materials, there is no problem with the workforce. The problem lies in who gets what, who gets what first, the ego thing that goes with it. Johoreans keep quiet probably because they have two links already and they have been living with the problem for ages that they are used to it and if something good and new is going to happen, it is going to be a miracle and they do not think miracle always happen. Malaysia is typically undecided. They want it yet they do not want it. With this sort of trend, of course people can get fed up and go away thinking if there is, there is. If there is none, there is none. It is like a game. The winner takes all and laughs at the loser.
Assalamuliakum Tun
Semoga sihat hendaknya.
Sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang berdaulat,
jambatan bengkok atau lurus amat diperlukan.
Terima kasih.
Tun Dr M
It was such a disapointment that the Crocked Bridge did not go through, It makes no difference now that the CIQ is open,the trafic jam and the same old run down causeway which cant cope with the influx of Singaporean coming in to JB to spend their money, The only difference I see now is a different place to exit and enter JB.
Hope our new PM will go through with it

Dear Tunku
I am so happy to hear that you are back for Malaysian..
You are the best leader in Malaysia and i cant imagine what is Malaysia if you ain’t here to develope this country..
thank you so much^^
I hope Sir can lead back Malaysia to Wawasan 2020..
I do not hope to see it diminish like how some authorities do things.. and i really hope that we can have a country that have no corruption and safe…Malaysia is a very very beautiful coutry and i believe that we can actually be the best place for torism industry..
Therefore i hope the goverment will pay less focus on issue that is not very important such as traffic stuff or more kind of road blocks, national service that is at times not relevant but instead focus on public safety..the snatch thieves and rapist case..
I got another issue about the safety belt…
I understand the goverment policy is to help the public so that they are safe if incase accident happens but i do not see the reason why instead of making the public aware of it law was implemented..does this actually encourage corruption?
If police are sent to catch those who speed, those who does not wear sit belts i bet the public will be happier if someone is going to make sure the crime rates in Malaysia would fall..
Sorry for giving the comment here as it is not related to the bridge..at the beginning i am just concern about our Vision 2020..
Thank you

Greetings Tun,
Why call it the crooked bridge in the first place? Is it because Singapore did not wholeheartedly agree to the original concept of a shared straight one when unfavourable terms and conditions were attached with the plan by the latter?
As one observer had put it, the construction of this `crooked bridge` at our Malaysian side, ending half-way at mid Terbau Straits, will turn out to be severely detrimental to the train services as a result of the steep gradient, albeit allow better access and passage to maritime shipping as a whole.
On the question on whether we need Singapore`s permission to build the bridge on our side by ourselves, we don`t, period. But we should not do it out of spite for our neighbour, without further consultations and collaborations so as not to invite scorn from the international community. We can pinpoint S`pore`s reluctance due to their insecure economic position they will put themselves in, without gaining any advantage in their favour, should they agree to the building of this bridge. It all about economics, really.
Good night, Tun.
All those who say that the crooked bridge should be built are real jokers! They lack commonsense.Their blind devotion to Tun M makes them lose rational thinking.
What is important at this economic downturn? Feeding the hungry or finding jobs for those who have been laid off or educating the younger generation to meet the human capital needs of the nation or enhancing national productivity or building the scenic bridge? Tun M has been wasting our scarce resources over a long period of time. We should not listen to him now. He should mind his own business and should not interfere in Najib Razak’s Administration. If the PM gives space to Tun M and attempts to revive economically unviable mega projects, we will be doomed. They say common sense is the most uncommon commodity these days. I hope good sense will prevail.

Beloved Tun,
I dont hate UMNo, but these people at grassroot level can be very deceiving too.. A brother of mine, an ustad, forwarded his application to be an UMNo member last year, but till now no reply. Early this year he forwarded another at different location, still no answer..These people dare not allow him join fearing he will take their place as Ketua UMNo. So, u see beloved tun, how can UMNo improve if new faces are not allowed into the party?
Beloved tun,
The problem with UMNo is that they re being kiasu, thinking they are high and mighty. These so called wakil rakyat..once elected,the first thing they do is to collect as much as they can to thicken their bank account. U need help, dont bother to go to them..its difficult to see them anywhere..not even at their home. whereas the wakil rakyat of pkr and pas..u get to see them anywhere, anytime with any probs u have, they will entertain u. They work for the people.
Tun,
I would like to add that in order to gauge the true feeling of people from JB, a poll should be implemented. This will be a better measure of what the people from JB felt about the crocked bridge.
There are people from Johor as far from Segamat or Muar who probably went to Singapore only a few times in their life but make a comment as if they know what is going on.
The traffic does not improve with the new CIQ. With the crocked bridge, is it going to make it worst?
By the way, large container vessel cannot pass through the Johor Straits as it is very shallow. Most commenter do not know about this fact.
I think most of the people want a straight bridge, not a crocked bridge, this is going to be a long term structure and we do not want to smear our vision of our beloved JB city with a crocked bridge.
The Goverment will have to sent somebody who are competant to negotiate with Singapore for a straight bridge.
Anyway, make a poll at JB. See the result rather then viewing the comments from commenters who make a journey across the border to Singapore a couple of times.
Tun,
I am from JB. I think there are other concerns that have been overlooked. One of the issue is that the newly built CIQ complex have by pass the JB town. This has resulted in the slowing down of business JB city centre.
In addition, the road going to the new CIQ is very narrow compared to the old CIQ. As such the traffic jam is made worst with the new CIQ.
On behalf of the Johorean, I can’t say that we are completely happy with the new CIQ.
Perhaps, the designer and planner of CIQ complex should be more thorough before building it. I think we should look at the strategic standpoint before implementing this project. This project should make the JB city more business vibrant, not the other way around.
With regard to building a crocked bridge, unlike the Penang Bridge, this bridge will only be 1.5 km long the most. As such most of us would prefer a straight bridge. I believe Singapore will have to agree for a straight bridge if we proceed. The cost will not be that much as it is only 1.5km. they can afford to built it with one eye close.
However, there is a legal issue that you might overlooked as from what I know, it is illegal to dismantle the bridge even at our side.
Other then that, I think the people from JB will have no qualms whatsoever.

Yang Dikasihi Tun,
Tidak kah orang Melayu terfikir tentang kebarangkalian Anuar Ibrahim dan DAP akan mengundang Singapura untuk masuk Malaysia semula sekiranya PKR dan DAP mengambil alih pemerintahan Malaysia? Lepas itu tambak johor pun digantikan dengan jambatan lurus menggantikan Tambak Johor. Yahudi pun suka sebab kemasukkan semula Singapura dalam Malaysia memberi ruang kepada satu jajahan lebih besar pemerintahan Singapura dengan dibantu oleh yahudi dan Amerika.Tanah Melayu dan Malaysia pun akan ditukar nama. Parti DAP Malaysia dan parti PAP Singapura pun bergabung membentuk kerajaan Singapura baru dengan tambahan kawasan dari Johor hingga ke Perlis. Ketua umum PKR, Anuar Ibrahim akan dilantik menjadi presiden pertama dalam pemerintahan itu dan bersemyam diPutra Jaya. Negara baru itu pun menjadi sebuah republik dan orang Melay pun hilang identiti. Kalau dah jadi republik orang Melayu tidak akan lihat lagi kerajaan berparlimen dan raja berperlembagaan. Waktu itu orang-orang Melayu asal di Semenanjung Malaysia sekarang kehilangan identi dan negaranya. Waktu itu orang2 Melayu pun menyesal sebesar-besarnya dan hanya pada hari kiamat sahaja penyesalan itu terhenti. Rela kah orang2 Melayu hilang negara dan identitinya?
Menginsafi akan nasib masa depan bangsa, saya menyeru: Wahai bangsa ku, bersatulah, beramal soleh dan berdoa kepda Allah supaya negara tercinta terus terpelihara dengan pemerintahan yang ada dikekalkan bagi mengekalkan dan mempertahankan kemerdekaan dan kedaulatan negara.Dipohonkan juga supaya pemerintahan yang ada akan melaksanakan amanah dan tanggungjawab dengan nawaitu kerana Allah, Insyallah akan kekal untuk mempertahan nasib agama,bangsa dan negara. Amin………
Salam ayananda Tun,
Saya sebgai anak kelahiran Johor Bahru tidak pernah kata tidak terhadap curve bridge projek. One thing you should know that many shops has been closed (gulung tikar) when CIQ was fully started their operations. During my school time that place (near causeway) is the busiest area than ever. But now what had happened? Nak tengok rakyat Malaysia susah and gulung tikar ke? Pitty them as there were no business upon completion of CIQ. Kenapa nak tengok rakyat sendiri susah and beri kesenangan rakyat Singapore.Kenapa perlu tunduk pd Singapore? We have our own teritory and they should cooperate with us for the benefits of both citizens.LKY was actuallu holding a sort of grudge towards Malaysia when we are doing well through our magic words Malaysia Boleh!

Tun, you are the only leader that heard whats is inside us. May new leadership by DSN materialise it….
May god bless you and family.

Kebaikan jambatan ini samada ia bengkok atau lurus ialah ia akan memberi nyawa kepada air Selat Tebrau ini . Air akan mengalir dari satu arah ke satu arah yang lain. Hidupan air akan bertambah. Aktiviti ‘boating’ boleh dijalankan. Konsep park and ride antara Stulang Laut dan Danga Bay dapat diadakan. Tapi kontrak lapuk bekalan air ke Singapura bila tamat ya Tun? Senang tak payah fikir tentang paip yang nak disalurkan ke sana!

Pasal jambatan tu, kena tanya lah khairy, mungkin dia lebih tahu dari Dato Najip dan semua menteri2, kenapa jambatan tu dibatalkan dulu.
Ini adalah hakikat, kenapa ramai orang tak suka umno/Barisan Nasional.
(ini adalah pandangan iklas, sebab aku adalah akar umbi BN,aku nak BN tu kuat sepanjang zaman)ok.

Build straight bridge, say MPs//
Now we know that JB MP Shahril Samad and Pulai (Perak) MP Nur Jazlan Mohamed said straight bridge to be built instead of reviving the plan to build sceneric curve bridge.
To: Shahril and Jazlan,
Sabar lah YBs, DS Najib will continue with the Iskandar Project though it may not benefit our real economy directly but investors like you because BN (khasnya UMNO) cannot be FLIP FLOP again in cancelling project sesuka hati like what our Tun LAH did during his leadership. The sceneric bridge will be implemented sooner or later. Let our International Trade Ministry advise our PM on the decision to build or revise the bridge after their discussion with our neighbour Singapore. The more you guys talk, the more rakyat benci UMNO!!!!
Good day Ayahanda Tun.
Tg Berbahgia Tun,
May Allah protect you always.
The bridge should be build now and with no further delay.
Because of one man arrogant and stupidity, the nation may be looked like lost its sovereignity.
I am sure Dato najib will take the matter seriously.
Do you think Iskandar Development can be successfull? Never heard you comment it in details. Dato Najib has pledge to continue with development.

Salam Tun and fellow readers,
The issue of the bridge is an issue of national interest. Does building the half-way bridge benefit Malaysia?
If we were to consider the facts, yes it will.
As for the secondary effects it may have on Singapore is quite just that. Secondary.
Though I believe maintaining and improving bilateral relationships between nations is imperative in this global community, we must not forget that very rarely will other nations put themselves out on a limb for for another.
Singapore has only proven herself to be just that. She plays hard ball so so shall we. When we were in need, Singapore offered ‘help’ but with terrible repercussions to our nation. Such is not the act of a friend.
Though the temptation of dangling the $$$ carrot to us is very tempting, our leaders and policy makers must resist because ultimately we not only will lose our sovereignty but also our sense of self-pride and dignity.
The Crooked Bridge makes ecological and economic sense and should be built. It is a testimony to your wit, commitment to science, humanity, sense of humour and genius, and to Singapore’s dim-wit, linear thinking, pseudo-science and war-mongering.
Hello cklife,pity on you.
devastator,your explanation for cklife absolutely complete.
Tun yang dikasihi,
Satu lagi contoh betapa pentingnya subjek sejarah diberi penekanan.Ini bukan lagi kita takut ulangi kesilapan lau,tapi ada yang baru nak mulakan kesilapan walaupun dah lebih 50 tahun kita merdeka.
salam sayang buat Tun dan isteri.
Dearest Tun,
The pro and con with this project:-
Pro
1. Benefited the people of Johor and Singapore
2. Open up new trading center on both sides
3. Solve the traffic congestion at the old bridge
Con
1. Become most expensive tourist spots if Singapore fail to response
2. A laughing stock deem unnecessary to Malaysian people
3. Economic retardant
Dr Mahathir,
In DS Najib’s one-day visit to Johor,on Monday,20th April,
he had said among other things,that,
he would continue the policies laid by his former boss
regarding developments in Iskandar Malaysia;
and to a question whether the crooked bridge will be revived,
he said that he don’t know yet.
Now we rakyat know that the crooked bridge is a project close to
your heart. This was the starting episode that made you being
very vocal towards the former PM’s administration. I could not
remember what was DS Najib’s stand at that time.
Did he fight for the bridge or was he just the obedient servant?
I perceived that he is too engrossed winning the hearts of the
non-malays that maybe only this group could convinced him to
revive the project.
As for Iskandar Malaysia, we already heard his wish.
Salam
1. Saya setuju dengan bloger Arin mengenai Sharir Samad. Tiba-tiba beliau mengeluarkan kenyataan ‘jambatan bengkok’ patut diteruskan. 2. Politikus macam ini yang sepatutnya dikeluar atau disingkirkan. 3. Perangainya macam lalang. Semasa menjadi menteri di bawah x pm yang dulu bukan main dia membela dasar AAB. Itu tak ada masalah bagi saya kerana beliau memang perlu menjalankan tugasnya.
4. Tetapi alangkah ternampak bodohnya seorang menteri apabila hanya mengikut arahan sedangkan kementerian tersebut berada di bawah bidang tadbir atau kuasanya.
5. Apa yang dia patut buat ialah menyelesaikan masalah rakyat yang begitu terbeban dengan isu kenaikan petrol dan barang yang meruncing. Sepatutnya dia mesti ternampak membuat research dengan mengembeling tenaganya dan seluruh kementeriannya mencari penyelesaian sebelum mengumumkan kenyataan dalam arus media.
6. Sebaliknya dia mengambil jalan mudah membuat kenyataan dalam akhbar dengan alasan-alasan yang membenarkan dasar AAB diteruskan. 7. Hasilnya BN kalah dalam PRU yang sudah. Selepas itu dia terus memainkan sentimen apabila meletak jawatan kerana tidak menang dalam pemilihan UMNO yang sudah. Nampak macam orang merajuk tapi dia menafikannya.
8. Adakah dia hendak mengembalikan kepercayaan Tun atau DSN terhadapnya? Itu terpulang kepada Tun dan DSN menilainya.
9. Mesej saya ialah seorang menteri perlu bertanggungjawab dan berani menjalankan tugasnya.
10. Menteri mesti melihat atau meletakkan kebajikan rakyat bukan mengambil jalan mudah menjaga periuk nasi sendiri sedangkan rakyat bawahan hidup sengsara.
11. Seorang menteri bukan hanya perlu pandai bercakap untuk menyakin rakyat tetapi mesti mempunyai daya fikir yang creatif supaya masalah rakyat dapat diminimumkan.
12. Sekiranya Tun atau DSN tidak menitik beratkan hal2 sebegini, maka akan lahirlah golongan politikus dlm UMNO/BN khususnya yang memegang jawatan ‘wakil rakyat’ yang tidak berani (lebih kurang macam YB kita kat Trengganu) dan hanya mementingkan diri sendiri.
13. Betul, cakap memang senang. Buat sendiri baru tahu. Tapi inilah tanggungjawab. Kalau tidak dapat menerimanya, bagi kat orang lain yang sanggup memikulnya.
Tun berdua jaga diri.
Salam kepada idola saya Tun Mahathir..
Saya merasakan cadangan untuk menjayakan projek jambatan bengkok adalah wajar diteruskan dengan segara.Ini kerana negara memerlukan tindakan pantas dan bijaksana untuk meningkatkan daya saing kita pada era globalisasi ini.Rakyat johor terpaksa menghadapi kesesakan di lalu lintas akibat dari projek jambatan ini yang ditamatkan.Saya menyeru rakyat malaysia agar kita perlukan jambatan tanpa mengadaikan maruah kita kepada singapore.Diharap tun terus memberi cadangan yang bernas lagi bijaksana untuk menjayakan WAWASAn 2020 dan semangat Malaysia Boleh..
Terima kasih. Semuga Tun berdua dan seisi keluarga sentiasa dicucuri rahmat Illahi, dunia dan akhirat.
Wassalammu.
Salam Tun.
Yes the Johoreans need that Bridge…..When it was cancelled i was really frustrated like u coz i want to see the beautiful Johor infrastructure.This is because whenever i drive into Spore it shows the clealinesss and systemetic the system there compared to Malaysia CIQ.I would be proud if the crooked bridge were build so i can brush off all my sporeans fren talk about Malaysia n proud of the new bridge.I hope Najib will continue whatever u have planned for Malaysia before your step down especially Johore.
Hope ALLAH bless Tun with good health so u can keep on blogging….
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Mohon ma’af ya Tun,saya harap dapat-lah kira-nya Tun tidak lagi mengunkit2 kesilapan2 yang telah Pak Lah lakukan pada masa pemerintahan-nya.Yang sudah, sudah-lah….Harap dapatlah kira-nya Tun memeberi guidance pada Dato Tun Najib dan yang lain2 memandangkan Tun sudah kembali ka-UMNO.Curahkanlah pengalaman2 Tun yang berguna lagi baik pada pandangan Tun pada mereka2 ini.
Semoaga Tun sentiasa berada di dalam keadaan sihat walafiat.Amin..
Sekian Wassalam.
TUN.
“CAKAP2 SEMASA”
1.Sharil Samad mencadangakan buat jambatan lurus,bukan bengkok.
Sekarang ni dah ramai pulak bersuara nak kan jambatan bengkok tu diteruskan semula pembinaan nya. Dulu tak siapa pun bersuara bila Pak Lah kata projek tu di batalkan. Semua nya angguk2 kepala setuju.
Sekarang ramai pulak yang nak jadi juara dalam menyambung semula projek tersebut.
2.KM PP,LIM Guan Eng bidas Penasihat PKR Annuar kerana issu Penanti dan TKM 1 PP. Dalam kata pakat2 dan kerjasama nampak nya antara mereka dalam PR maseh belum dapat kesefahaman. Macam mana nak teraju negara. Atau pun hanya satu lagi episod drama dimainkan PR untuk menghadapi pilihan raya kecil Penanti jika ada pertandingan.
3.Wah! Sombong nya MP baru dari Bukit Gantang tu. Dalam ulasan nya akan titah Baginda Sultan Perak dia dengan angkuh maseh mahu Sultan membubarkan DUN Perak. UMNO lah yang perlu kerjasama dengan PAS, bukan PAS perlu kerjasama dengan UMNO.
Dia cakap apa ye….PAS cuma ada 6 kerusi DUN Perak. Manakala UMNO ada 27 kerusi DUN. Memang lah bongkak dan sombong orang nya.
4.Eli Wong jumpa Tok Nik. Dapat juga Tok Nik bersalaman dengan Eli dan memberikan restu pulak pastu. Maka boleh lah dianggap Eli tu dah disucikan segala dosa nya.Hmm! macam Pope pulak. Rakyat pergi berjumpa Tok Guru untuk mendapatkan restu. Trend baru. Ari tu Datuk CT dan DK. Lepas tu rocker Amy Search. Sesiapa2 ada masaalah atau nak sucikan diri boleh ler pergi cium tangan Tok Guru untuk mendapatka restu.
Dear Tun
One thing that UMNO leaders should learn from the past, including from budi-full Tunku at one stage especially in dealing sabah Chief Minister, Kalong Ningkam,and MCA Dr Lim chong Eu they need to be firm. Once you give away for an inch, they will push you for another 3 feets. Tun Dr Ismail used to say that, these people only recognized force and firmness than after that you can be incharged, just like Shih Huang Ti, in uniting the whole china. In Malaya, this firmness was the way British used in dealing with Communists although both of them had been friends and colleagues during Japanese. Without firmness, you can wait for more trouble and finally surrender.
Dear Tun Please teach a little bit knowledge to the current UMNO leaders on how to be firmed in their decision, I m as a rakyat not expecting a Spartan like state, but what is happening now is shameful.
Why must the bridge be called
The crooked bridge as an ICON ? It’ll be a laughing stock, and will be a reminder of how crooks thrived under Dr M. Shame on all the blind Dr M supporters who only listen to divisiveness and angst, never to reason.
May Allah grant Dr M long life so that he can see for himself the damage that he has wrought on Bolehland.
Yang Berbahagia Tun!Seorang pemimpin adalah anugerah ALLAH!Tak semua pemimin di negara2 di dunia ini yang dapat memajukan dan memakmorkan negara yang di pimpin malah sesetengah negara menjurus kearah kehancuran, salah seorang pemimpin Agong di dunia ini dan menjadi contoh negara2 membangun adalah Yang Berbahagia Tun, semasa MALAYSIA di bawah kepimpinan Tun negara MALAYSIA begitu cermelang,
terlalu besar nya jasa Tun keatas bumi MALAYSIA yang tercinta ini,
tapi apakan daya kusangka panas hingga kepetang rupa nya hujan di tengah hari,kesinambongan kepimpinan Tun tidak dapat di tunaikan oleh Pak Lah sehinggakan Negara MALAYSIA Menuju kearah kehancuran
JASA PAK LAH AKAN TERCATIT DI DALAM SEAJARAH DI BAWAH KEPIMPINAN BELIAU 5 NEGERI TELAH JATUH KETANGAN PEMBANGKANG,TAK ADA SATU PUN MERCU TANDA YANG JENERASI AKAN DATANG DAPAT MENGINGATI MENGENAI PAK LAH,SEHINGGA PROJEK JABATAN BENGKOK YANG DI ILHAM KAN OLEH TUN, UNTUK KEBANGAAN SELURUH RAAYAT MALAYSIA TELAH DI BATALKAN OLEH BELIAU,INI DI SEBABKAN TERLALU TAKUT NYA PAK LAH KEPADA SINGAPURA,
DAN BELIAU SEORANG PEMIMPIN YANG TAK BERPANDANGAN JAUH DAN TAK MEMPUNYAI WAWASAN, Kepada YAB Datuk Seri Najib saya menyeru tolonglah teruskan pembinaan JABATAN YANG MENGHUBUNGI JOHOR DAN SINGAPURA DEMI MARUAH NEGARA, TERIMA KASEH
Assalamualaikum. Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun. Bagi anak Johor, projek ini sememangnya sedang dinantikan ramai. Inshallah ianya menjadi kenyataan.

JOHOR BAHRU: Pemuda Umno Johor mencadangkan kerajaan mengkaji semula projek ‘jambatan bengkok’ yang pembinaannya dibatalkan pada 2006 kerana berpendapat projek itu mampu merancakkan ekonomi negara, khususnya di Johor.
“Ia (pembinaan jambatan bengkok) adalah pelaburan jangka panjang dan tiada siapa yang dapat menafikan kesan positif projek pembinaan jambatan itu terhadap ekonomi Johor dan di dalam mewujudkan pelbagai peluang ekonomi lain,” kata Ketua Penerangan Pemuda Umno Johor, Khalid Mohamad.
Beliau berkata, pembinaan semula jambatan bengkok merentasi Selat Johor mampu memenuhi aspirasi rakyat Johor terhadap barisan Kabinet Rakyat pimpinan Perdana Menteri yang baru Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak. Katanya, keseluruhan rakyat Johor tanpa mengira agama dan bangsa mahu kerajaan mengkaji semula keputusan yang dibuat pada 2006 untuk membatalkan pembinaan jambatan bengkok.
“Rakyat Johor daripada segenap pelusuk menaruh harapan yang tinggi terhadap Perdana Menteri supaya keputusan untuk membatalkan projek pembinaan jambatan bengkok merentasi Selat Johor itu dikaji semula,” katanya yang juga Ketua Pemuda Umno Bahagian Johor Bahru pada sidang akhbar di sini, hari ini.
Mengenai kemungkinan bantahan daripada Singapura terhadap cadangan pembinaan semula jambatan bengkok itu, beliau berkeyakinan kedua-dua negara mampu berunding dan mencapai penyelesaian untuk kepentingan bersama.
“Jika tidak pun, kita hanya membina jambatan itu di bahagian kita sahaja,” katanya sambil menambah, Singapura perlu mengelak daripada menjadikan isu pembinaan jambatan itu sebagai ‘cagaran’ sebagai syarat untuk menyelesaikan isu lain yang tertangguh.
Semalam, orang ramai termasuk persatuan dan dewan perniagaan Cina dan India Johor menyuarakan keyakinan mereka bahawa pembatalan projek pembinaan jambatan bengkok itu akan dikaji semula oleh pentadbiran Perdana Menteri yang baru.
Presiden Dewan Perniagaan dan Industri Johor Bahru, Datuk Soh Poh Seng dipetik berkata, perniagaan di dalam bandaraya Johor Bahru akan lebih rancak jika projek pembinaan jambatan itu diteruskan.
Presiden Persatuan Perniagaan India Johor, P Sivakumar pula berkata, kedua-dua negara akan memperoleh faedah bersama menerusi pembinaan jambatan baru menggantikan Tambak Johor yang dibina pada 1924 itu. – Bernama

Dearest Tun,
Those who said the link of two nations is not important are:
Those who are ignorant
Those who do not know economy
Those who do not know history
Those who do not know urbanisation
Those who do not know civilisation
Those who do not know anything
Those who know two things, sleep and stay away from trouble…
And he should be accorded with Turn, not Tun…
SALAM TUN,
SAYA FIKIR TAK PAYAHLAH TERUSKAN PEMBINAAN JAMBATAN BENGKOK DIJB. SIAPKAN DAHULU JAMBATAN PULAU PINANG YANG KEDUA. NANTI PAKLAH TIDAK DAPAT TIDUR MALAM KERANA HENDAK BERSIAR SIAR DENGAN J DIATAS JAMBATAN KEDUA KELAK.JIKA TERSANGKUT KERJANYA ANAKNYA AKAN RUGI BESAR. JAMBATAN BENGKOK TIDAK ADA TEMPAT BERSIAR.GANTI RUGI PUN SUDAH DIBAYAR.LEPAS INI BUAT SAHAJA JAMBATAN DARI MELAKA KEDUMAI DEKAT DENGAN KAMPONG ISTERI PAHLAH ‘KAMPONG GERAGO’ DIMELAKA.
KESIHAN PAKLAH.
TERIMA KASIH

Assalamualaikum wbt.
What a coincident ! I drafted an article entitled MEMACU KEDINAMIKAN EKONOMI MALAYSIA for my coloumn “Ruangan Feriz Omar” last Sunday.
In the article I specifically mentioned about the importance of setting-up a new economic regime, an advantage to be taken due to the recent breakage of the Capitalist Economy.
I also emphasised on the “loss” of the Malaysian Economy due to the last 6-year focus on “Industri Asas Tani”. As it is, such focus did not help in sustaining low price of goods during economic crisis.
On the other hand, I wrote that the Malaysian economy should now be based on international trade services such as logistics, warehousing and entrepot (an extension of Tun M’s economic vision).
The fully integrated North-South infrastructure namely 968 km Electrified Double Track JB to Padang Besar, our North-South Highway, UNESCAP’s Trans-Asia railway project, Senai Regional Cargo Airport and Tanjung Pelepas Port should be fully utilised in spearheading Malaysia’s new economy.
I also shared as to why the last jigsaw i.e. the “Crooked Bridge” need to be revived. The development of the last jigsaw will elevate Malaysia’s economic position far ahead than our neighbouring countries and developing cities like Rotterdam.

DEAR TUN,
MOST OF TIME I TEND TO AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS OR VIEWS.
HOWEVER, THIS TIME I DO NOT THINK YOU ARE CORRECT ON :-
1) NAJIB IDEA NOT TO FIGHT IN PENANTI BY-ELECTION
2) THE CROOKED BRIDGE? NO NO NO
THE PENANTI BYE-BYE ELECTION!!!!!!!
NAJIB SAID IT IS A WASTE OF TIME, MONEY AND RESOURCES TO FIGHT FOR PENANTI, AS I SEE IT MOST MALAYSIANS AGREE WITH HIM. I DON’T SEE WHY YOU THINK OTHERWISE.
COMMONSENCE WILL TELL YOU THAT NAJIB IS RIGHT, AND YOU DON’T NEED FORESIGHT HERE! PERIOD.
THE CROOKED BRIDGE
THERE IS NO NEED TO RUSH ON THE CROOKED BRIDGE PROJECT.
THE WORD “CROOKED” MEANS SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THIS PROJECT.
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU SO VERY EAGER TO RE-ENERGIZE THE PROJECT, BUT I THINK (AS WOULD MOST MALAYSIANS) IT IS BETTER TO CHANNEL THE MONEY,TIME AND ATTENTION TO BETTER USE.
DEAR TUN,
YOU MUST SUPPORT NAJIB, AS MUCH AS I SEE THAT NAJIB IS SUPPORTING YOU AND YOUR VISION.
BUT NAJIB IS RUNNING THE COUNTRY NOW.
NAJIB HAS GIVEN ALL THE RIGHT SIGNALS TO MALAYSIANS THAT HE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PRESENT THE “LEADERSHIP” THAT MALAYSIA SEEMS LACKING SO VERY MUCH OVER THE LAST 6 YEARS.
NAJIB RECOGNIZE THAT THE CHALLENGES BEFORE HIM POLITICALLY FROM PAKATAN(ESPECIALLY FROM ANWAR IBRAHIM) IS DEAD SERIOUS!
THE POLITICAL PLAY OF TODAY IS VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES POSES BY DAP AND PAS!
ANWAR IBRAHIM STILL HAVE A STRONG SUPPORT FROM EVEN WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT, AND NAJIB JUST CANNOT TRUST ANYONE ANYMORE!
SO, DEAR TUN, I THINK HE NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT HOWEVER SMALL.
TO ENSURE BARISAN IS RELAVANT, NAJIB PLANS ARE ALREADY FOR THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION, WHICH IS REALLY NOT TOO FAR AWAY.
IF HIS PLANS AND ACTIONS FAILS TO WIN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF VOTERS, THE BARISAN WILL BE DOOMED.
THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF VOTERS NOW MAKES UP THE BULK OF VOTERS. THESE BUNCH OF VOTERS CARE-LESS OF HISTORY OF UMNO OR ANY PROMISES MADE BY OUR FORE-FATHERS OR ANYTHING…
AFTER SIX YEARS OF PURE RUBBISHED LEADERSHIP OF THE COUNTRY UNDER PAK LAH,,, THE YOUTH WILL VOTE FOR A POSITIVE CHANGE…
IT IS THIS HUNGRY AND EASILY ANGRY GROUP OF VOTERS THAT NAJIB MUST “SHOW” THAT HE IS SERIOUS REGARDING:-
1) TO RE-ACTIVATE THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES AND OPEN NEW JOB-SEEKING OPPORTUNITES IN THE COUNTRY;
2) TO AWARD NEW GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS FAIRLY;
3) RM 60 BILLION MUST BE SEEN TO GO TO THE PEOPLE; NOT CROONIES;
4) TO REMOVE THE HATERED “POLITIK WANG” AND THE PEOPLE RELATED TO IT;
5) KPI TO MINISTERS ARE GOOD IDEAS; PEOPLE HOPE THAT NAJIB WILL REMOVE THOSE HOPELESS AND “SOMBONG” MINISTERS;
6) EVEN THE GOVERNMENT OFFICERS (SENIOR ONES) THAT ARE CORRUPT MUST BE CAUGHT AND PUT THEM BEHIND BARS (DONT JUST CATCH THE “IKAN BILIS”ONLY). JUST TOO MANY OF THEM UNASHAME OF ASKING MONEY FROM BUSINESSMEN. EVEN THE ONES WEARING “TUDONGS” PUN TAK MALU MINTAK, THESE GOVERNMENT SO-CALLED “SERVANTS”!!!
SO TUN, I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME WHY I DONT AGREE WITH YOU.
THANK YOU. KEEP YOUR VIEWS COMING, SIR. I JUST LOV THEM!!

p.s. Tun, Do you think Najib reads your comments here?
Tun
When I thought the saga on crooked bridge has finally been put to rest under Pak Lah’s administration, it has now been re-visited under new administration, sigh. Surely, Malaysia does not need approval from Singapore to build a scenic but crooked bridge on its shore. However, the mere thought of having a crooked bridge on one side and a straight one on the other due to no fault of Singapore in the first place is likely to stick out like a sore thumb which benenfits neither side.
Now that the new immigration building is already up and running, albeit much chaos in the initial period (was it thanks to doing of your administration then or Pak Lah? The latter, more likely) and to fulfil your grandiose ambition to have that abandoned crooked bridge, won’t you think more inconveniences commuters from either side have to put up with for GOD knows how long more or never? In short, would all traffic jams be reduced to 0 assuming the crooked bridge and straight bridge are put in place some years or maybe decades down? Do you have another new topic if the crooked bridge neither solve the traffic situation nor give economic benefits to the state of Johore?
Tun, please do consider seriously the pros & cons advocating that ‘scenic looking crooked’ bridge as layman like me could see no benefits for either side at all. Two wrongs don’t make one right, Tun.
Yeah… I wonder it too… why ya?
Assalamualaikum wr wb,
Dear Tun Mahathir,
I am a modern, educated Malay Singaporean. It seems to me that your idea of developing the Malays – is merely superficial since its all about mega projects that benefits only a few privileged ones.
How does Cyberjaya improve the lot of the Malays ? Twin Towers ? Where is your Multi-Media Super-Corridor today ? Look Tun – sometimes you talk as if Malaysia is some kind of a superpower. I would like to bring you down to Earth and meet Reality. The reality is that the Malays are NOT a scientifically oriented society. You can wait forever – but development will elude them until such time when they can accept the humanist principles of modern science.
I think that your constant criticism of UMNO is totally unbecoming and quite false and hypocritical. You yourself are guilty of precisely these accusations which you throw at others.
I’m sorry to say this publicly – but your thoughts and ideas are too superficial to bring development to the Malays. Building the Twin Towers or a Crooked Bridge will not help improve the lot of the Malays. A good education plus a determined effort to inculcate scientific rationalism among them will. Its time you met Reality………
Best Regards
Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad
Yg Berbahagia Tun,
Projek jambatan bengkok yang terbantut seketika sewaktu sepeninggalan Tun berundur memang wajar diteruskan perlakasanaannya tanpa perlu mendapat lampu hijau dari negara jiran kecil Singapura. Sebagai sebuah negara merdeka dan berdaulat, kita bebas melaksanakan apa jua projek dan rancangan (dalam territory kita) yang menguntungkan negara dan rakyat dalam jangka masa panjang.
Semoga Dato’Seri Najib, selaku PM masakini akan terbuka hatinya untuk meneruskan usaha murni serta berpandangan jauh Tun itu tanpa berlengah lagi.
Salam Sejahtera kepada Tun dan keluarga.
1) Selama lebih kurang lima tahun ‘a lot of damage ‘has been done to the country. sedih lah Tun.
2) Dahulu apabila kemenangan yang begitu banyak di pilihan raya kepada BN ,pemimpin merasa megah dan hilang hala tuju.
3) Perkara yang sepatut nya di lakukan dan di beri keutamaan telah di belakang kan.
4)Hinggakan Negara kita pun turut mundur.Apakah kita mahu mundur selama lama nya.
5)Kini ada lah masa nya kita memulih kan keadaan.Sebagai permulaan TERUS KAN PEMBINAAN JEMBATAN BENGKOK.Untuk mengatakan rakyat Johor tidak menyokong pembinaan tersebut ada lah satu PEMBOHONGAN.
6)KESAL! KESAL! KESAL! sebab orang melayu ni se olah lembu di cucuk hidug.
7)Apa kah negara Malaysia tidak berdaulat,hingga begitu takut sekali dengan Singapura.
8)Tun mari kita desak kerajaan yang ada sekarang supaya meneruskan JEMBATAN INDAH INI.Apa yang Tun kata kan memang benar kesesakan yang berlaku sekarang ada lah di sebabakan pembatalan pembinaan jembatan tersebut.
9) Tun kami menyokong Mu seratus peratus. Kamu tidak keseorangan.
Tun jangan lupa jaga kesihatan.JASA MU TETAP DI KENANG DAN DI ABADIKAN.INSHA ALLAH ssuatu hari nanti jembatan ini akan berdiri juga.
Tun, I guess, that time was just after your 22 years ruling, we were so use to be silence, what more to protest?? Unless it was leaded by your party or your ex-party members. But now, I think people should be dare to stand up for you since you are from your party, and for the best of the country.
I guess, that is why a sound check and balance system needed by us rather than depending all on a single rotten party or put a hope on few elite people, so that any good vision won’t be simply dropped by any crook. Perhaps, why not you push for this system first as this will help you or people to monitor any one in power for any future plan. I think people should be dare to stand up for a great leader like you
Salam Tun,
There is no doubt in my mind that the bridge ( straight or crooked, the straight one preferably) must be built. There are enough right minded people in Malaysia who can build the bridge. The problem has always been the ‘Kepimpinan’ or rather lack thereof.
Now that the village idiot and his cohorts are no longer in the government, all the ‘kepimpinan’ needs to say is ‘We’re going to build it’. With God’s graces, it will be built. The people of Johore wants it. There’s no need to ask anybody’s permission, nor should we bundle this with anything else.
This is our country. No one else should tell us what we can or should do. We have the resources. We do as we please, and we do it for the benefit of our people, not anyone else’s.
salam yab tun…
walaupun saya bukan orang johor atau johor baharu khususnya tetapi saya suka berbicara tentang kemerdekaan dan kebebasan negara sendiri. apa yang saya lihat hari ini setiap pemimpin yang baru dipilih atau dilantik cuba mencari indentiti sendiri. cuba untuk mempopularkan diri sendiri dengan keputusan keputusan yang tidak masuk akal malah kadangkala tidak memberi faedah langsung kepada rakyat. malah kerugian atau ketidaksukaan rakyat langsung tidak diambil kira. ini menyebabkan perancangan yang telah diatur dan disusun dengan teliti terbantut. merugikan kerajaan dan rakyat. parti hancur langsung tidak dihormati disebabkan pemimpin yang mementingkan diri sendiri.
perkara seperti ini harus dihentikan. hari ini ramai yang telah dijadikan pemimpin atau dipilih menjadi pemimpin lebih suka mempertahankan pemimpin yang lebih atas. sikap berdiam diri lebih disukai daripada menjadi unpopular dengan memberitahu atau menegaskan perkara yang sebenar. mereka telah lari dari amanah dan tanggungjawap yang diberikan oleh perwakilan atau rakyat. saya merasa kecewa apabila saya selaku pemimpin muda menjadi halangan atau tidak diendahkan akibat kelantangan dalam menyuarakan perkara perkara yang benar demi kepentingan rakyat. seolah olah pemimpin muda diajar supaya diam daripada menyinggung hati pemimpin lama atau tinggi. akibatnya pemimpin muda tidak lagi dipertahankan malah dibunuh karier mereka.
adakah ini juga kebebasan yang dididik oleh para pemimpin kita? jika teguran pun tidak boleh dibuat? adakah minda para pemimpin kita benar benar telah merdeka? mereka sendiri takut dijajah oleh pemimpin muda bagaimana pula mereka akan berani menghadapi isu isu yang lebih besar? kadangkala kita takut kepada bayang bayang kita sendiri.
hari ini juga sebenarnya disebabkan ingin menjaga hati sahabat rakan kawan dalam dan luar negeri kita lebih sanggup membatalkan sesuatu dalam ruang lingkup kita. betul lah kata tun adakah kita benar benar sebuah negara yang bebas merdeka. adakah minda kita benar benar bebas dan merdeka???
tepuk dada tanya selera….
salam…
Salam untuk Yg Bhg Tun,
1. Jambatan bengkok – apa nak pedulikan bengkok ke tak asalkan dalam negara kita. Sekarang ni pun banyak kereta plat Sxx tak pun ambil peduli undang-undang kita masa tengah naik minyak kat jalanraya kita yang dah terang2 depan mata kita, tak hormat kita pun..
2. Jambatan lurus si Sharir Samad tu, mengapa masa jadi menteri tak berbunyi pun.. Cuba la dulu cakap kat Pak Lah, kan senang.. Atau ke dah ada (baru) perancangan beli tanah untuk tapak jambatan lurus tu ke..?
3. Kesian orang Johor.. Yang bengkok pun batal, yang lurus jauh bumi dengan langit la. Kalau KJ jadi Pee’eM! boleh la kot, buat tukaran tanah KTMB kat Singapura dan dapatlah yang lurus ganti tambak..
Salam Tun,
Crooked Bridged! Do we really need the crooked bridged? I don’t know, common people don’t know, Johor People don’t care, Media people just follow the que given by people in power. During Tun’s time the Media, Economist, Analyst all said the ‘Crooked Bridged’ was good for Malaysia, During Tun AAB all sectors ( Pengampu Professional) saying that the people of Johor did not want it and more importantly Singapore did’nt like it either. So, Tun AAB administration decided not to continue the project because of too much money involved but can pay hundreds of million ringgit compensation of tax payers money to contractors for jobs not done. Well done Tun AAB for being very considerate to ‘rakyat’ wellbeing.
Whatever the argument may be, I felt that the ‘Crooked Bridge’ should be a very low priority at this point of time amids global financial crisis. DS Najib must focus on more pressing issues like economics revival, job creations, education and health care. Malaysia economy was very much hurt since 1998 (Financial Crisis and Political Instability)and 5 years sleeping time during Tun AAB administration. I hope that the RM 60B stimulus package do really filtered down to reach the ordinary people. It is really does’nt pay in continuing political bickering either among ourselves or to continue to pick a fight with Singapore. It is high time now the government to be more transparent on every decision they make and be held accountable for any blunders they may have made. Government Media like RTM, TV3, NSTP, UTUSAN should learn how to write the truth rather than hiding the truth and replace it with propganda to justify government agenda. I believed, the general public already become seasoned to idetify between real and faked, between honesty and hypocracy. Therefore, Tun, I hope you can play mentor mente role with DS Najib so that Rakyat can have faith again with BN in reviving the economy and pave political stabilty in the country.
Dah nak mula main FLIP FLOP lagi nampaknya.Mana pendirian para pemimpin kita sekarang?
Kalau dah tak nak buat jangan buta.Kalau nak buat buat jelah.Jangan dok main FLIP FLOP.Rakyat dah bosan kalau macam ni.
Tu jambatan Pulau Pinang apa cerita pulak.
Jangan sampai rakyat kata politik ni amat menjijikkan.biarlah politik ni berada di landasan yang bersih.
Apa hal pulak dengan satu blog ni.Rasanya menghina institusi raja Melayu.

Assalamualaikum Tun
Saya amat berasa bangga dengan kecekalan Tun dalam memperjuangkan idea Tun dalam pembinaan ‘Jambatan Bengkok” demi kebaikan Malaysia. Saya masih lagi tidak mmemahami sebab utama PM selepas Tun, membatalkan project ini. Anyway, Kita perlu bergerak kehadapan tanpa melihat sejarah hitam yang telah berlalu. Memperingati sejarah adakalanya tidak membawa munafaat. Lupakan segai satu mimpi. Tun tidak perlu menyoal sebab-sebab kegagalan dan kenapa ramai pemimpin di bawah PM sebelum ini mendiamkan diri. Apakah element-elemet yang akan di kecapi oleh rakyat Malaysia dengan mengetahuinya? Rakyat munkin menyalahkan Tun kerana memberi tampok pemerintahan negara kepada seorang yang tidak critikal seperti Tun.
Teruskan pembinaan jambatan ini kalau pembinaan jambatan ini membawa munafaat kepada kemakmuran negara. Saya rasa Tun telah lead many projek yang pada mulanya di kritik oleh orang ramai tetapi pada akhirnya ramai yang menyokong. Contohnya Jambatan Pulau Pinang, Petronas Twin Tower and PutraJaya and soo on.
Project-Project ini telah menonjolkan Negara Malaysia di arena dunia. Saya hanya mencadanagkan supaya jambatan ini dinamakan semula sebagai “jambatan Elegant” sebab design nya nampak gagah; lagipun nama jambatan bengkok tak begitu manis….
Salam Tun – Your vision will benefit next generation.
Salam Tun…
buat apa nak membazir kalau jambatan tu betul2 x menolong rakyat kita…
kita janganlah ego sangat sampai hendak membazir duit yg boleh digunakan untuk pembangunan… Sabah Sarawak masih banyak yg tidak ada elektrik dan air… itu basic facility saja…
buat apa nak lawan singapura tu… biarlah dia ckp apa pun… asal rakyat kita hidup aman bahagia… dia tu negara kecil dan nak cari isu dgn kita.. biar la… nnt ego kita merugikan rakyat je
Assalamualikum wbt. Yg Bhg Tun,
Izinkan saya membuat ulasan dalam bahasa Malaysia. Sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang ingin melihat Malaysia berterusan mencipta kemajuan, saya amat sedih dan terkilan apabila Perdana Menteri Ke 5 dengan sewenang-wenangnya mengambil keputusan membatalkan kerja-kerja pembinaan jambatan bengkok menggantikan tambak Johor . Alasan-alasan pembatalan pembinaan jambatan bengkok yang telah beliau berikan melalui sebaran am serta disokong oleh ahli kabinet beliau pada waktu itu tidak begitu relevan selepas mengambil kira bahawa projek pembinaan jambatan bengkok telah pun bermula dan segala masalah yang mungkin timbul telah diambil kira dari segi penyelesaiannya jika ada. Pencetus idea jambatan bengkok telah diilhamkan sendiri oleh Yg Bhg Tun semasa memimpin negara dan dipercayai telah membuat satu perancangan yang rapi dan bermotif kepada kepentingan negara dalam jangka masa panjang. Dukacita kepimpinan utama negara pada ketika itu dilihat tidak berfikir secara mendalam atas kepentingan kewujudan jambatan bengkok dalam jangkamasa panjang.
Hari ini dibawah kepimpinan baru sudah ada suara-suara dari rakyat Johor sendiri dan beberapa pihak-pihak tertentu yang lain mahukan jambatan bengkok diwujudkan semula demi kepentingan negara.
Jika pembinaan jambatan bengkok ini dapat direalisasikan semula saya penuh yakin dan percaya ianya akan mendapat sokongan majoriti rakyat Malaysia dan sangat menggembirakan hati Yg Bhg Tun.
Kita tidak perlu takut dengan sebarang halangan yang mungkin wujud dari negara jiran kita Singapura terhadap pembinaan jambatan bengkok seperti yang pernah disuarakan oleh kepimpinan terdahulu untuk menidakkan kesinambungan kerja-kerja pembinaan jambatan berkenaan.
Kepimpinan baru adalah diharapkan dapat menimbang semula pembinaan jambatan bengkok ke Singapura yang diyakini dapat memberi manfaat besar kepada rakyat Johor dan negara pada amnya.
Sekian, terima kasih sehingga bertemu lagi dilain ketika. Salam bahagia untuk Yg Bhg Tun.
hopefully the current pm will hear our voices…
we also wonder, is that why we give all to Singapore…land, water, sand, sky…
Tun yang benar,
Saya sebagai Rakyat Johor sangat mengalu-alukan pembinaan Jambatan Bengkok atau Jambatan Lurus merentasi Selat Tebrau.Saya nampak, sangat banyak faedah untuk rakyat,bukan sahaja rakyat Johor malah rakyat Malaysia amnya.
Kerajaan Malaysia di bawah pimpinan Dato Seri Najib tidak perlu menunggu masa yang lebih lama untuk membinanya bila sesuatu itu ada keuntungan.Sepatutnya jambatan itu sudah lama dibina.
Saya amat kecewa apabila Apabila Kerajaan dibawah pimpinan Pak Lah,
membatalkan Projek Jambatan Bengkok yang diilhamkan oleh Tun itu.
Teruskan WAWASAN 2020!
Perhaps Badawi did not want to start off on a “wrong footing” with S’pore. Perhaps his son-in-law’s close connections in S’pore would have been jeopodised if the bridge policy went ahead. Who knows?
What I do know is that the bridge would create huge opportunities for both the countries, especially when we consider the amount of investment S’pore has penned for the Iskander Corridor. Malaysia has the economic means and needs the political will to show its sovereign stance in face of unknown variables.
SALAM, TUN
1. TAHNIAH KERANA MEMANGKITKAN SEMULA JAMBATAN BENGKOK. PAK LAH DAH TAKDA MAKA BOLEHLAH BINA UNTUK KEPENTINGAN NEGARA.
2. SAYA RASA PM SEKARANG AKAN MEMBINA JAMBATAN TERSEBUT.
3. JANGANLAH KUTUK PAKLAH LAGI, KALAU NAK BINA BINALAH, MUNGKIN ADA ORANG YANG KAYA DARI PROJEK ITU.
Salam alaik Tun…
Its me a 22 years old boy from the Electrical Engineering Department of
University of Malaya again…
Yea, just build the bridge… We have the government, we have the money, we
have the technology and we have the engineers… Why do we have to wait???!!!
The plan to build the bridge had been cancelled after our previous PM started
holding the power… Like hell!!! Did he made a research? Did he ever asked the
scientists, the engineers, the architects, the businessmen and the
stakeholders? He was obviously an incompetent leader and became a shameful
of Malaysian technology symbol in this new modern age… He usually lack of
vision, interpersonal communication skills and confidence to resolve conflict…
We can see a lot of comments full of hatred here and in other forums to our
previous government… Our previous cabinet line-up during Abdullah’s tenure
were WEAK and LOOKED SILLY in their style of execution, their effective
ability to communicate, manage and motivate their teams that keep the nation
(our motherland) on course… They cant did these!!! They seemed just shouting
loud their own insecurities — most likely mirroring to you things that they should
be doing… If there is one single lesson to be learned from the current breakdown
in Malaysia progress it is that we cant longer afford incompetent political
leadership… There are new ideas and practices emerging that together make
up a new paradigm of social development… But they never learn, never adapt
and never think critically!!! Shame on them!!!
ass,kum tun. kita bagi org yg sokong time pak lah buat batal jambatan tu bengkok, terutama kj and konco2 nya. harapan saya tun komplain kat pak najib sampai dia bukak hati untuk jambatan tu dibina kembali. dengan tu kita kasi spore jangan berlagak macam selalu spt zaman raja titun handle malaysia .
Assalamualaikum Ayahnda Tun n Bonda,
Dear Ayahnda Tun,
I came across this comment in Elviza’z “Write Away” n I’m very touched with the honest writing from this Higashi-san. This is what we always hear from foreigners who had dealt with Tun during his tenure. Those who never dealt with him directly, had and will always have very negative opinions of Tun by just quoting hearsays n assumptions. We also have this kind of people in our own backyard! They never met n talked to Tun in person, never dealt with him in any kind of business or event, yet they accused him of all bad things. Even if they had, some were preoccupied with very negative thinking about him. Shame on them!!
Please allow me,
higashi-san (permalink)
Elviza,
I`m not going to pass judgement on the man.Suffice to say that I`m more convinced by the day that in SE Asia, at least for now,nothing short of a very firm,single-minded and visionary leadership will work to ensure stability and growth.Look at the man`s leadership style, Thailand under Thaksin, and Singapore under Harry Lee,or Indonesia under Suharto
Assalamualaikum Tun Mahathir,
1. I wonder why so many people just could not understand the benefit of the proposed bridge to Malaysia. Are we too blind?
2. I wonder why we have to keep mentioning about Singapore when we want to build this bridge when its clearly within our sovereign land. Are we still unsure if we can plan our own destiny even after 51 years of our independence? When Tun Mahathir has put us on the world map, we wonder still?? OH MY GOD.
3. I wonder why many people still question the so-called mega projects which were carried out during your time. Are we unable to see the benefits which the projects has brought to the country? Or are we so politically immature to the extent that some of your detractors must to say bad things just because it was done during your tenure?
4. I wonder (with all the mess in the country now) if we actually want to move forward to a better Malaysia.
5. Tun Mahathir, Malaysia still need you lah. You may be shy-shy (he he) but the fact is, your vision is still needed. We have no replacement nor do we intend to replace you.
Terima Kasih Tun Mahathir
Dear Tun and All,
I was born in Muar and now my parents live in Segamat, so we’re the original Johorean & Malaysian who lives here for long.
Tun,
I NEED YOUR HELP TO TEACH THIS RUDE SINGAPOREAN AND THEIR GOVERNMENT. ALSO, COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE SOME ADVICE TO OUR MINISTERS TO NOT TO JUST FOLLOW WHATEVER SINGAPORE SAID & WANT.
YOU CAN SAY I AM VERY RACIST OR WHATSOEVER, BUT YES, THIS IS MY LAND AND I DON’T WANT THAT ARROGANT PEOPLE TO LIVE HERE. PLEASE TUN, I AM SCARE THAT ONE DAY HALF OF JOHORE WILL BE KNOWN AS SINGAPOREAN LAND.
WHY I SAID THAT?
ISKANDAR PROJECT: CAN YOU IMAGINE, IT IS OUR LAND, BUT WHEN WE WANT TO DEVELOP IT, WE HAVE TO SEEK FOR MUTUAL CONSENSUS WITH SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT? ISN’T IT RIDICULOUS? I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED & RAGED AFTER READING AN ARTICLE ON THE STAR (LAST WEEK) WHICH SAID THAT SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA HAS AGREED TO DEVELOP THE ISKANDAR PROJECT, WHAT IS THAT? IT’S OUR LAND, WHAT’S THEIR RIGHT TO AGREE OR NOT WITH OUR OWN PLAN IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. TOTALLY RUBBISH POLITICIAN!
Anyway, I hope the new government will continue the plan to build that CROOKED BRIDGE. I agree with you, we don’t have to ask them to build it on our land, just ignore them. If they said it will bring any benefits to them, who cares? It’s for our benefit.
Shukran Farid, Aberdeen
Salam Sejahtera Tun,
Terima kasih kerana menyentuh topik yang releven kepada warga Johor khususnya. Sudah lama warga Johor terutama penduduk Johor Bahru ternanti-nanti Jambatan Indah (tak kiralah bengkok mahupun lurus) untuk mengganti Tambak Johor yang tidak lagi berkemampuan menampung bilangan kenderaan yang makin meningkat.
Kepada mereka yang tidak menggunakan CIQ (lama atau baru), anda tidak akan faham masalah kesesakan yang berlaku disini, samada dari segi kenderaan atau pejalan kaki. Saya percaya sebilangan besar warga Johor memang tidak setuju projek Jambatan itu dibatalkan. Tetapi tiada yang berani bersuara sebeb
Only crooked mind of people who think the unnecessary of building the new bridge for people and development purposes. Hope there will be only one in hundreds million of people in one in billion of time for that kind of people ever prevail on Malaysian soil. Thanks God it is already over. And it is the time to move on.
Dear Tun,
Saya akan sokong usaha jambatan ini… Sampai bila2… Ini isu maruah Negara.
cklife, L-E-A-R-N… and R-E-A-D… Simple thing also you don’t know ka??? Anyway… Singapore yg tak cukup tanah smpi tanah dan pasir di Malaysia pun nak ‘dibelinya’ dengan tak sah…
DS Najib… Kedekut la sikit tanah dan pasir kita pada mereka. Mereka bukan nak hargai kita pun. Negara kiasu ni jgn dilayan sgt. Isu air pun masih terbengkalai. Kalau nak juga… kita kira harga air yg tertunggak tu sekali. Bukanlah tak berperi kemanusiaan… Tapi kenapa nak fikir org lain kalau dia tak pernah fikir pasal diri kita. Kan?
saya orang johor.
saya tak setuju dgn saudara senegeri:
By mamatmelayu on April 20, 2009 1:18 PM
1 Saya orang Johor
2 Kenapa nak buat jambatan bengkok, namanya bengkok membahayakan lalulintas …kenapa tak buat jambatan lurus, kan kita orang Islam disuruh pilih jalan yang lurus.
3 Saya rasa projek jambatan bengkok ini suatu khayalan yang kita asik perkatakan untuk menegakkan maruah kita yang dicabar Singapore
xxxx
Sebagai rakyat Malaysia (dan Johor) yang bermaruah, saya seru DSN teruskan kerana:
1. Saya nak kapal bebas lalu di Selat Tebrau. Kapal2 tersebut dari seluruh dunia. Kembalikan ‘kegemilangan Melaka’ ke negara ini!!
2. Saya nak kita musnahkan simbol penjajahan dan penindasan British terhadap tanah melayu dengan memajukan Singapura secara halus hanya dengan membina Tambak Johor. Untuk makluman semua yang kurang faham sejarah, Singapura terbina dan maju menerusi pelabuhan entrepot yang dibantu dengan Tambak Johor. Dengan kebolehan kapal besar lalu lalang di Selat Tebrau, dapatlah pelabuhan2 kita besaing dengan lebih adil untuk manarik syarikat2 kapal dari Timur Barat berlabuh di negara kita!
3. Saya inginkan pasir2 yang dikorek dapat ‘menambak’ secara tidak langsung pantai2 di selatan johor bahru supaya ‘kawasan kita’ bertambah jauh, sepertimana sempadan singapura dibesarkan kerana kerja2 penambakan pulaunya. Harap2 arus2 laju berpaling arah ke singapura seperti sebelumnya! Juga dapatlah kita lindungi nelayan2 kita..
Salam Tun,
PM Najib does not have to be bold to carry out his responsibilty. Causeway or Crooked Bridge is not an issue now, what he could do is to prevent elected MPs from dumping their constituencies, and focus towards shoring-up the weakening economic situation apart from helping thousands of the retrenched workers to be re-mployed and remained employable!
Perhaps with the new cabinet ministers, they can come up with new ideas like having the experts to train the Malays and other Malaysians to run supermarkets, hypermarts and mega-stores. Also it is worthwhile to have maritime servicing companies to commercially safeguard our coastal waters against potentially catastrophic oil spillage due to ships run aground or collision!
With the participation of present shipowners owning big horsepower supply/utility/tugboats and firefighting vessels, the proper ministry perhaps could champion the move by having these shipowners, Akedemi Laut Malaysia (ALAM) and the Ministry of Environment not only to continue looking to professionally handle such environmental threat but also its commercial viability.
Together, Malaysia Can!
Minta tukar nama Jambatan daripada “CROOKED” kepada nama yang lebih baik… Jambatan TUN M kah atau lain-lain tetapi not “CROOKED BRIDGE”.
Unless we want to denote it as a bridge done for crooked intentions.. jikalau tidak, pilihlah nama yang lebih sesuai sebelum apa-apa dibuat……
Salam Tun,
The “crooked bridge” will definitely have an impact on the port business of both Singapore and Malaysia. It was sad that the previous PM failed to see the economic and strategic importance of the bridge for Malaysia.

Terpaksa tunggu Dr M meninggal dunia
Nampaknya Umno memang tidak boleh berbuat apa-apa lagi, agaknya dalam keadaan Mahathir sudah masuk ke dalam Umno ini. Kita perlu berdoa sebanyak-banyaknya supaya mantan Perdana Menteri ke-4 itu segera berpindah ke alam baqa.
Inikah hasil dari didikan pas kepada anak muridnya..Mendoakan seseorang supaya cepat mati?Inikah hasil dari pengajaran sekolah pondok aliran pas yang diasuh supaya membenci kerajaan dalam silabusnya sekian lama.Sekolah-sekolah pondok yang tidak dipantau ini menyebarkan dakyah yang memburukkan kerajaan kepada minda dari kecil hingga buta pada kenyataan sebenar. Ia dah berlaku sejak berzaman lagi malah pada zaman tun lagi benda sebegini terjadi.Mungkin pada masa itu tun tidak ambil berat kerana ia tidak terlalu menonjol tetapi generasi kecil itu sudah dewasa dan sekarang menjadi pengundi-pengundi yang begitu tegar dan taksub dengan PAS.
harap mana-mana pihak janganlah digunakan pendidikan untuk kepentingan politik.
Dear Tun,
Does Malaysia need the Scenic Bridge now?
Yes;
1) it will provide a stimulus for the local economy especially, workers, material, services, etc..
2) if it will be build later, it will cost much more.
3) it is enviromentally friendly as it will allow the water in the Straits to flow thru.
4) it will improve the traffic flow in and out of JB.
5) it will be a new landmark for the Johore people.
6) it will safe millions of ringgits in lost productivity due to people being stuck in the jam.
No:
1) it will be a tricky affair with the KTM line connection and the water pipe connection to singapore.
2) it will make singapore unhappy?
3) it will make Pak Lah & LKY unhappy?
So you be the judge. Anyway can anyone inform us why Pak Lah cancel the bridge..besides him saying Johorian did no want it?
Salam YAB Tun,
Dalam kehidupan kita semua diseru untuk mencari, mengenal dan mengikut Siratul Mustaqim. Jika kita mengikuti kebanyakan orang diatas bumi ini, nescaya mereka akan menyesatkan kita. Maka demi untuk kebaikan umum lakukanlah apa sahaja yang difikir akan memberi manfaat kepada semua.
Binalah apa jenis jambatan sekalipun asalkan air laut diantara kedua negara Malaysia-Singapura dapat mengalir semula dan pasti kehidupan didaratan dan juga dilautan akan lebih selesa dan damai.
Wassalam.
Yup, tolong siapkan jabatan tu, nak buat separuh kat sebelah kita pun tak buat , nak mintak izin apa plak dah tanah sendiri , buat je la. kalau diikutkan singapore tu pun bukan tanah mereka dulu, Tengku Abdul Rahman yang bagi kat lee kuan yew.
Assalamulaikum Tun dan selamat petang,
Saya berharap pentadbiran kerajaan yang baru ini dapat menumpukan perhatian kepada pembangunan di Johor Bahru secara khusus.Dan kalau boleh dipercepatkan.Johor Bahru tak sepatutnya begini sepanjang 5 tahun yang lalu.
Pembangunan dan keadaan di Johor Bahru ini umpama layu sebelum mekar.
Berputik tapi tak jadi.Menyedihkan.Terlalu ‘terhalang’.
Pentadbiran Johor perlu orang-orang yang ‘subur’ bukan jenis yang ‘mati pucuk’.
Jangan gah dengan ‘koridor selatan’.Datang sini tengok sendiri…
Assalam alaikum
YABhg Tun dan “felo” chedet yang dihormati sekalian.
Amatlah besar harapan saya kepada barisan kabinet baru ini. Saya sentiasa yakin bahawa akan berlakunya perubahan walaupun tidak drastik sekurang-kurangnya berlaku perubahan. Moga, dengan barisan kabinet baru ini, “pembersihan” dari dalam dapat dilakukan, bukan sahaja di dalam kerajaan tetapi di dalam Umno/BN.
Seingat saya (melalui pembacaan) DYMM Sultan Johor pernah bertanya kepada Dato’ Seri Najib mengapa pembinaan Jambatan (crook bridge) dihentikan. Ini menunjukkan pembinaan bukanya sesuatu yang sia-sia. Malahan baginda Sultan Johor pun ingin tahu kenapa mengapa dan untuk apa.
Jambatan tersebut sebenarnya penting terutamanya dari segi pembangunan ekonomik rakyat Johor terutamanya. Semasa pengumuman pembatalan pembinaannya, PM pada masa itu sudah melakukan kesilapan yang sebenarnya merugikan negara dari segi masa dan kos.
Harap Dato’ Seri Najib meneruskan usaha pembinaan jambatan tersebut kerana ia begitu penting kepada pembangunan ekonomi rakyat. Sekiranya Dato’ Seri Najib “kow tow before pressure appplied” atas nama kedaulatan negara, Dato’ Seri Najib samalah seperti Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Allahyarham ayahanda Dato’ Seri Najib seorang yang hebat dan berkarisma, oleh yang demikian Dato’ Seri Najib perlu meneladani kehebatan dan karisma Allahyarham bapanya apabila berurusan dengan Singapura terutamanya dalam perkara Jambatan. Perkara Jambatan ini bukan perkara kemegahan tetapi perkara negara.
Sebagai generasi muda, saya akan menjadi saksi kepada jaya dan gagalnya pembinaan jambatan bengkok. Jikalau cucu-cicit saya bertanya mengapa pembinaan jambatan itu gagal, saya akan berkata “pemimpin negara pada masa itu melakukan kesilapan didalam membuat keputusan dan tersalah tafsir apa itu kemegahan dan kepentingan negara.”
the new bridge is very MUCH needed of course, look at the population moving in & out.
but… still could not understand why Tun want to involve your last precious breath/energy in penanti election. do you think your TRUTH can cover their Lies? even if it can, are you sure those leaders will use your Truth for Good later on? or Bad?
remember when you try to tell the TRUTH (critic) about what you see/knew True about Badawi later on after he goes up & what you get? i can remember they all (even those you looked after before) try to put you in ‘cold storage’ room (ALL of THEM that have power even the police anti you). even your speech was made to look like illegal gathering? remember right? i do agree it is TOP ONE fault. but rest of them below top one are so ‘lalang’.
no harm if Tun is trying to safe BN again. but let this be the last & let the rest flow naturally (maybe God have a purpose to let BN lose). you got other more precious/meaningful things to do. enjoy it. you have actually done GREAT, or else we are still at par or behind compare to other neighbour. but after you down we are heading straight to the negative (look at the crime rate, wasted money on wasted project, purchasing at the skyhigh price, Ugly cover up, macam2 charges from government departments & etc.
i’m curious, how much money/cash flow (ACTUAL FIGURE) do malaysia actually have in it drawer today?
As usual. I am very enlighten with your post or joke or post…Its hard to tell Tun. Anyway, I’m happy to read it. Go Tun!
Hazman Abu Bakar
Askm, YBhg. Tun Dr.M (minta maaf nama penuh, sebab sekarang dah ada 2 Tun).
Jalan org Melayu kita dah bengkak bengkok. Lambat laun tak boleh jalan langsung. Duduk sajalah kita. Org lain duk bekerja. Kita jadi tuan saja. Itulah ‘KETUANAN MELAYU’ nak buat jambatan nak maju pun, depa kata membaziq. Buang duit bayaq pampasan. Mcm2. Tengok apa kata 2nd Tun.
Lee.M
Datuk Shahir Samad ckp dia tak nak jambatan bengkok tp jambatan tegak. Sekarang br nk ckp pasal tegak bengkok. Mase jadi menteri xnk plk ckp ape2..bengkok betul!
Ya, Pak Tun, good question. Are we independent and do we need to ask others what to do in our own territory? I wonder. We are independent…yes but we have to ask Singapore to build the bridge. Water is ours but…….Pembangunan di Pasir Gudang pun di bantah oleh Singapore oleh kerana menghalang pesawat-pesawatnya beroperasi dari lapangan terbang berhampiran. Ayoyo…Pembanguan di Pasir Gudang kena tanya dan dapatkan kelulusan Singapore dulu?
Agreed with TUN 100% hope DSNajib will react accordingly
Saya agak terkejut apabila Dato Seri Najib telah menyatakan kemungkinan BN tidak akan meletakkan calon untuk pilihanraya kecil di DUN Penanti! Ini taktik apa pulak ni Dato Seri? Nak mengaku kalah sebelum bertanding ke?
Kalau kita lihat petikan Bernama diatas, lihatlah bagaimana bekas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad telah menyatakan pendapat beliau bahawa tidak kira kawasan hitam atau kawasan putih, kita mesti meletak calon kita!
Dari semalam lagi, ramai komentar yang bertanyakan pendapat saya mengenai pendirian PM kita yang baru ini, maka saya ingin menyatakan di sini bahawa saya tidak berseruju dengan cadangan Perdana Menteri supaya tidak meletakkan calon BN di DUN Penanti!
Kenapa harus kita takut? Tidakkah cukup bukti di Bukit Gantang dan beberapa siri pilihanraya tempohari yang menampakkan tanda-tanda positif dari pengundi? Walaupun kita kalah tetapi kita semakin nampak sokongan rakyat kepada kita sedang meningkat!
Kita ambik contoh la ya, sekiranya parti pembangkang dah mengaku kalah dari 50 tahun lepas maka kita tidak akan ada pembangkang di Malaysia lagi, ambik contoh lah parti PAS yang bertanding di mana-mana kawasan dulu yang mereka tahu adalah mustahil untuk menang, namun semangat juang mereka tidak pernah luntur! Mereka terus cuba dan mencuba, akhirnya mereka berjaya!
Kenapa harus kita beri kemenangan mudah kepada pihak lawan? Saya masih ingat tahun 1997 sewaktu MB Selangor Mat Taib (No English spiking) yang telah meletakkan jawatan dan Abu Hassan telah di pilih untuk menggantikan beliau, namun timbul masalah kerana Abu Hassan adalah ahli Parlimen ketika itu, maka beliau telah meletakkan jawatan sebagai ahli parlimen dan beliau bertanding di kerusi DUN yang telah dikosongkan oleh rakan dalam BN.
Maka pada ketika itu Abu Hassan telah memberitahu kepada pihak lawan, tak payahlah pihak pembangkang nak letak calon di Permatang, sebab itu kubu kuat BN. Tetapi parti PAS pada ketika itu walaupun mengetahui yang sukar untuk mereka memenangi kerusi Parlimen tersebut namun atas semangat untuk bertanding mereka tetap meletakkan calon dan bertanding di situ!
Bukanlah saya nak menyokong pembangkang tetapi kita tak boleh lemah semangat, baru kalah beberapa pilihanraya kita dah ‘give up’! Kita harus buang sikap sebegini, kita harus ada semangat juang yang kuat! Kalau diatakdirkan kalah, kalahlah, namun perjuangan ini belum selesai dan kami akan terus berjuang sehingga kami beroleh kejayaan!
Pantang maut sebelum ajal! Inilah kata-kata hebat dalam masyarakat melayu, kita harus mempertahankan setiap kerusi yang dipertandingkan! Betul kata ayahandaku Tun Dr M, takkan kita nak tunggu kubu kuat kita baru kita nak bertanding! Tak ‘gentleman’ la macam tu!
Kalau kita mengambil pendekatan begini maka tidak hairanlah satu hari nanti rakyat Malaysia akan kata, Takpelah UMNO dah letih, mereka tak nak bertanding lagi, maka kita sokonglah calon dari pembangkang, walaupun calon yang diletakkan itu semuanya tak boleh pakai dan tak kelayakan langsung untuk mewakili rakyat!
Saya nak bercerita sikit mengenai perancangan Ketua Pembangkang! Beliau memang gemar dan seronok apabila pilihanraya kecil diadakan, sebabnya ialah dengan cara ini beliau dapat lah buat cermah dan dapatlah dia memperagakan kehebatan berpidatonya yang bagi kami dah jadi retorik dan cerita kosong tanpa isi!
Lagi satu masalah yang dihadapi oleh Anwar ‘Drama King’ Ibrahim masa kini ialah tentang kualiti calon di dalam PKR, sebabnya masa bertanding dahulu, semua calon ‘pakai tangkap muat je’. Dari penjual ikan sampai la ke peniaga pasar malam yang bertanding jadi calon PKR, bukanlah niat saya untuk menghina, Ini adalah hakikat!
PKR adalah sebuah parti yang bermasalah dan saya percaya selepas ini akan ada banyak lagi pilihanraya kecil. Ini adalah game gila yang cuba di mainkan oleh Anwar! Rakyat boleh menilai, semakin lama rakyat semakin sedar akan tipu-helah manusia yang Kuat Main Wayang ini.
Berbalik pada cerita tadi, kenapa harus kita lemah semangat sekarang? Di mana semangat juang UMNO? Ingat lagikah dengan kata-kata Tun Dr M dulu, bahawa perjuangan kita belum selesai atau adakah kita sudah lupa akan asas perjuangan kita?
Tidakkah kita terfikir tentang perasaan pengundi yang menyokong kita di DUN tersebut? Apakah perasaan mereka nanti apabila pihak pembangkang yang sangat rendah moral dan akhlaknya menempelak pada penyokong kita nanti?
Kenapa harus kita takut kalah? Sepatutnya kita harus bersikap lebih positif! Lebih-lebih lagi kita melihat sekarang masyarakat Malaysia sudah mula denga perlahan-lahan kembali ke pangkuan BN, memang la benda ini akan memakan masa, tetapi ‘better late than never’
Maka dengan ini saya menyeru Dato Seri Najib supaya jangan mudah mengalah, dengarlah luahan rasa bloggers yang mewakili suara akar umbi! Kami mahu supaya BN meletakkan calon di pilihanraya kecil di DUN Penanti! Kami tidak mahu digelar sebagai bacul!
Mungkin komen saya kali ini agak berlainan sedikit, bukan apa saya nak berubah dan saya memang berani berubah! Ubahlah sikap kita sekarang, sebelum kita diubahkan kelak!

Assalamualaikum Tun.
Saya amat keliru dengan wujudnya blog Tun ini.
Jika diamati, blog Tun ini mempunyai dua versi iaitu
versi positif dan versi negatif.
Versi positifnya ialah kecemerlangan idealogi dan brain storming antara Tun dengan blogger lain.
Versi negatifnya ialah terdapat ruangan kutuk mengkutuk terhadap individu-individu tertentu.
Apabila pahala dan dosa bercampur gaul, maka tunggulah akibatnya.

Hopefully that all the projects that you had envisioned prior retirement (eg., crooked bridge, railways etc) but dumped aside by Pak Lah would be carried out by Dato Najib.
All other projects eg., Proton, should be given priority and assisted in all ways possible as it carries the national image.
Dear Tun
Appreciate yr writings whereby we’re able to share yr views.
May Allah swt bless you and yr family.

1)IS SARAWAK A DIFFERENT COUNTRY???
SOMETIMES I BEGIN TO WONDER WHETHER PEOPLE OR THE MINISTERS IN WEST MALAYSIA OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN SARAWAK AND SABAH.THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CROOKED BRIDGE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS…..BUT HERE IN BORNEO IS A DIFFERENT WORLD….WHAT HAPPENED IN SARAWAK IS FAR WORST THAN WHAT HAPPENED IN WEST MALAYSIA…CORRUPTION ARE SOOO WIDESPREAD BUT PEOPLE IN THE WEST DONT CARE THAT MUCH AS LONG AS SARAWAK HELP BN TO WIN IN THE ELECTION.
PEOPLE HERE DONT HAVE THE FACILITIES LIKE THE WEST MALAYSIANS DO, BUT NOBODY CARES AS LONG AS THE BN WINS………BYE
Salam..
Tun, semoga sihat hendaknya dan dilindungi Allah swt…
Sememangnya saya sebagai anak jati Johor amat kecewa dengan pembatalan jambatan bengkok dahulu…teramat-amat kecewa..sebabnya bagi saya jambatan bengkok yang asalnya diilhamkan oleh Tun seharusnya diteruskan..
GOOD DAY ybhg TUN Mahathir,
when you are the PM nothing happend like what we are seeing now,,,,,,,,,,why now its happening? you are the great leader. no body can replace you. not only umno member cry but myself also. you are the best TUN,
SALAM SEJAHTERA KPD TUN & SEMUA,
allow me to briefly comment on the following statement ;
y cklifeAuthor Profile Page on April 20, 2009 8:31 AM
Tun,
I think our territory is limited..
You certainly can’t build the bridge into Singapore’s territory, unless you send armies.
Apa lar lu… cam tu pon x tau.. hehheeh
Our territory is unlimited. It’s Singapore’s territory that is rather limited, the reason for the sand to be imported from malaysia for further land reclaimation.
It’s our divine right to build the brdge within our territory, a crooked bridge to replace half of the causeway…..to create a small strait between singapore & Johor….so that vessels can sail through to Tanjong Pelapas.so what’s wrong with this ????
No need to despatch armies over this matter. You wanted supply of water , sand, etc or not ??????
Salam Tun
That’s Reality! Previous “flip-flop” PM causes losing millions of ringgit to compensated the fallen crooked bridge. To revive the project could cost another millions of ringgit. So please not to make mistake again as previously losing to someone to make crook decision. As far as we concern, either to go ahead or not, Malaysians should see what happens now… the temporary flyovers that disconnected from the propose bridge just like “Ular” flyovers. What a waste!!
Salam Tun.
When ex-PM ‘no quality’ Pak Dol lied to the country that “majority Johoreans do not want the skewed bridge”, he’s actually telling Malaysians his real self – a liar, no quality & thus not qualified to hold PM post. When Tun appointed him as DPM, all Malaysians concurred that’s the best choice. After less than 3 years as PM, we realised that not only he cheated us all with his infamous Mr. Clean look, but he’s truly no quality.
I’d enjoy to see his beloved son-in-law’s puppets in TV3, Utusan, NST, Berita Harian, etc axed ASAP. The manner news were presented not only distanced most Malaysians from reading/watching them, but also made ex-PM Dol ‘perasan’ thinking he’s a capable PM!! Hope all the crooks engaged by his son-in-law at Tingkat 4 PM Dept already in police custody now!
During the first 6 months Dol became PM, the following major flip-flops happened:
1. Crooked bridge cancelled, a month later he announced ‘Skewed Bridge’ will go ahead (the next day, I could still recalled Tun’s happy & elated statement which followed – “I don’t mind the name….”), two months later (?) he cancelled Skewed Bridge citing amid lies that majority Johoreans didn’t want the bridge (or because Johore not issuing permit to his family/cronies to sell sand to S’pore?)
2. Double trekking LA withdrawn (hope I’m correct) due to country has no money. Later when realising his days as PM are numbered, quickly ‘nego direct’ (I didn’t use the word ‘direct nego’ because he already told the country earlier “there’ll be no more direct nego in the award of projects”) at a cost several RMbillion higher.
3. Penang bridge cancelled, and as usual only to ‘nego direct’ later before leaving office.
The huge damage done to the country and her population, to UMNO and Malays in particular during his 5 short years as PM is hard to digest and don’t deserve any pardon.
kalau orang dari negara jiran pun masuk Malaysia tak ikut undang2 kita, buat apa la kita nak mintak persetujuan mereka?????????
Dearest Tun,
Today
Salajm Sejahtera Ybhg Tun,
Setelah selesainya penyusunan Menteri Kebinet, sekarang mungkin masanya untuk rakyat mengetahui hala tuju wawasan pembangunan Kerajan. One Malaysia adalah konsep wawasan yang baik tetapi intipati mencapai wawasan tersebut adalah pembangunan negara. Apa yang rakyat inginkan adalah kemajuan pembangunan negara dan rakyat akan bersatu sekiranya ada pembangunan yang berterusan.
Rakyat inginkan cerita projek pembangunan dan telah jelak mendengar dan membaca cerita2 politik huru hara yang saban hari semenjak tahun2 yang lepas.
Pembangunan infrastruktur Malaysia masih lagi belum siap. Sekarang ini adalah didalam kadar anggaran 40% sahaja. Banyak lagi perlu dilakukan. Banyak yang dalam perancangan Ybhg Tun dahulu terbantut tempoh hari.
Pandangan saya BN akan gemilang semula sekiranya kerajaan mengumumkan dan melaksanakan pelan projek pembangunannya dari masa kesemasa.
Samada pembahagian projek2 tersebut transparency (telus) atau tidak, itu perkara kedua. Kalau tidak projek tak jalan. Yang penting niat supaya rakyat tidak teraniaya.
Perlaksanaan jambatan bengkok amat dinantikan sebagai pemulaan mengujudkan keyakinan kepada pentadbiran baru kerajaan. Orang putih kata “do the right at the first time”. Kalau tidak blunder kalu..
Assalamualaikum Tun.

P (paderi) : Wahai Muhammad,mengapa anda mengaku bahawa Islam tidak membenarkan mempergunakan tipu daya kepada manusia di masa damai,padahal nabi anda menganjurkan kpd para pemeluknya utk melakukan kelicikan terhadap rumah-rumah sementara anggota masyarakat.Kerana itu mereka biasa melakukan tipu daya dan kelicikan terhadap golongan musuh sehingga sampai merasa aman.Bila telah tercapai keamanan,lalu terhadap mereka pun dilakukan tipu daya lagi.
Sebagai contoh dari tindakan ini apa yang terjadi pada diri Ka’ab bin Asyraf,seorang tokoh Yahudi.Nabi anda telah menganjurkan kepada Muhammad bin Maslamah untuk mengatur tipu daya terhadapnya.Lalu Muhammad ini memilih beberapa orang untuk membantunya.
Mereka bertanya : “Wahai Rasulullah,kami mesti mengatakan sesuatu”.Lalu Nabi menjawab : “Katakanlah apa yang baik menurut pendapatmu”.Lalu beliau mengizinkan mereka untuk mempergunakan kebohongan dan tipu daya menurut kehendak mereka.
Lalu Muhammad pergi kepada Ka’ab kemudian berkata kepadanya : “Laki-laki ini (maksudnya nabi anda) telah meminta kami menyerahkan zakat.Padahal kami tidak mempunyai makanan.Namun ia tetap memaksa kami.Lantaran itu aku datang kepadamu untuk mencari pinjaman.”
Ka’ab menjawab kepadanya : “Dan demi Allah,kamu juga sungguh-sungguh jemu kepadanya.” Muhammad menjawab :”Sungguh tadinya kami ingin menjadi pengikutnya.Tetapi kami menginginkan untuk membiarkannya sehingga kami menantikan sesuatu yang dapat merubah keadaannya?”
Muhammad terus menerus melakukan usahanya ini sampai Ka’ab mahu menerima penggaidaian senjatanya untuk memperoleh pinjamansebungkus besar atau dua bungkusan makanan.Demikianlah orang-orang yang berkomplot terhadap Ka;ab melakukan tipu dayanya.Mereka ini menggadaikan senjatanya dengan tujuan agar Ka;ab tidak menolak mereka ketika datang untuk memperdayakannya.Kemudian mereka memanggilnya sehingga Ka’ab turun menemui mereka.
Setelah itu mereka berbincang-bincang selama sisa waktu malam ini.Lalu ia pun keluar bersama mereka dan sesampai di tempat jauh dari bentengnya,mulailah mereka melakukan tipu dayanya.Kemudian mereka memenggal lehernya kemudian memasukkannya ke dalam bungkusan mereka lalu membawanya kepada nabi anda.
Mengapa nabi anda membenarkan langkah beberapa orang yang melakukan tipu daya di masa damai,bahkan lebih jauh lagi melakukan tipu daya kepada kaum wanita,seperti yang terjadi terhadap diri Ashma’ puteri Marwan.Orang yang melakukan tipu daya terhadap perempuan ini ialah Umair bin Auf.
Laki-laki ini di tengah malam mendatangi rumahnya sampai berhasil masuk ke dalam.Pada saat itu ia dikelilingi beberapa anak-anaknya yang kecil sedang tidur,bahkan ada yang masih disusui.Umair ini penglihatannyakabur.Lalu ia menggunakan tangannya untuk meraba dan ia tertumbuk pada anak kecil yang sedang disusuinya.Lalu anak ini disingkirkan dari ibunya.Kemudian wanita tersebut dadanya ditusuk dengan pedang sampai menembus punggungnya.
M (Muhammad,pelajar Islam) : Ka’ab dan Ashma’ adalah dua orang yang mengobarkan peperangan terhadap Islam.Kedua orang ini tidak mahu ikut dalam perdamaian sampai pun dia terus melakukan tipu daya.Ka’ab tidak mahu turut ambil bahagian dengan Yahudi-Yahudi lain dalam fakta perjanjian damai dengan umat Islam,bahkan ia mulai melancarkan permusuhan terang-terangan terhadap Islam dan menganjurkan segenap suku-suku bangsa Arab memeranginay,agar terus dapat dipertahankan kejahiliyahan dan kesyirikan,perpecahan lagi permusuhan,saling bunuh membunuh,saling rampas merampas dan jangan mahu menolong agama Islam yang kini membangunkan mereka dari kelalaiannya dan memerangi orang-orang semacam Ka’ab yang merompak harta kekayaan mereka dengan cara riba yang keji dan perdangangan-perdangangan yang penuh dengan tindakan-tindakan dosa.Maka Islam tidak merasa keberatan untuk membinasakan orang seperti ini.Kerana ia selalu berusaha untuk menghancurkan seluruh umat agar kekayaan hanya menumpuk di tangannya sendiri dan berpesta pora di atas kemiskinan dan penderitaan umat.
Kerana itu silakanlah Ka’ab pergi untuk kepentingan hidupnya suatu bangsa dan silakan pula orang-orang lain yang menjadi penindas kejam binasa.Sebab orang semcam ini mengangap kemakmuran masyarakat sebagai bahaya bagi dirinya.Kerana ia hanya mengenal kepentingan diri sendiri.
Demikian pula halnya dengan Ashma’ puteri Marwan.Ia selalu mencela Islam dan mengobarkan semangat permusuhan terhadap Nabi.
P : Sekiranya memang Ka’ab telah melakukan kejahatan dengan mengobarkan semangat anti Islam,maka adalah suatu keharusan menghadapkan dia ke pengadilan,bukan dengan cara-cara tipu daya seperti itu.
M : Wahai Paderi,bagaimana caranya mengadili penjahat perang?Pengadilan hanyalah dipergunakan terhadap orang-orang yang mengakui adanya pengadilan dan kekuasaan yang menjalankan pengadilan itu.Padahal Ka’ab sama sekali tidak mahu mengakui Nabi dan kekuasaan beliau di dalam menjalankan pemerintahan.Maka kalau terhadap Ka’ab dilakukan pengadilan itu.Pada Ka’ab sama sekali tidak mahu mengakui Nabi dan kekuasaan baliau di dalam menjalankan pemerintahan,maka kalau terhadap Ka’ab dilakukan pengadilan,nescaya pengadilan semacam ini menjadi sasaran kritik.Sebab tidaklah dapat diterima seseorang musuh melakukan pengadilan terhadap lawannya.
P : Jika pengadilan terhadap Ka’ab tidak mungkin,maka haruslah dia ditindak secara terus terang.Tidak boleh melakukan pengkuman terhadap dirinya secara tipu daya seperti yang dilakukan itu.
M : Kerana Ka’ab ini orang yang melancarkan perang,maka dia dapat dihukum dengan cara apa pun yang mungkin untuk dilaksanakan.Dan cara yang ditempuh terhadap dirinya jauh lebih aman dan lebih sesuai,kerana telah ada perjanjian damai antara kaum muslimin dengan golongan-golongan Yahudi.Sebab kalau Ka’ab diperangi secara terbuka,maka akan muncul perang lawan perang dan kemungkinan sebahagian orang Yahudi akan bergabung kepadanya.Kerana itu perjanjian yang sudah dibuat yang ternyata dapat mencegah pertumpahan darah antara kedua belah pihak menjadi batal dan akibatnya banyak darah yang tertumpah yang tidak dapat diperkirakan berapa jumlahnya.
Adapun langkah tipu daya terhadap Ka’ab yang semacam itu menjadikan bangsa Yahudi mengahadapi suatu realiti konkrit,iaitu adanya politik yang bijak yang mudah diterima dan mudah dipersetujui serta tidak mengakibatkan peperangan dan membatalkan perjanjian.Lebih-lebih orang yang melakukan tipu daya sendiri tidak mengakui tipu dayanya.Maka yang timbul di tengah masyarakat hanyalah dugaan-dugaan belaka tanpa diketahui secara yakin siapa sebenarnya yang melakukan tipu daya.
P : Tidaklah disangsikan lagi bahawa tindakan semacam itu merupakan kebijaksanaan manusiawi,bukan berupa wahyu Illahi sama sekali,sedangkan para Nabi seharusnya melaksanakan urusan mereka berdasarkan wahyu Tuhan kepada mereka dan bukannya berjalan sendiri yang terkadang boleh salah.
M : Wahai Paderi yang terhormat,memang langkah tersebut adalah kebijaksanaan manusiawi.Sebelumnya sudah saya terangkan kepada anda,bahawa sudah tentu setiap nabi itu di dalam hal-hal tertentu bersikap dan bertindak seperti manusia biasa lainnya,agar dapat menjadi bukti bahawa dia tetap sebagai manusia biasa sekalipun menjadi utusan Allah.Dengan demikian para pengikutnya tidak bersikap berlebih-lebihan terhadap dirinya dan tidak pula berkepercayaan bahawa ia sebagai Tuhan atau putera Allah.
Anda harus mengetahui,wahai Paderi yang terhormat,bahawa penggunaan tipu daya di dalam Islam hanya dibenarkan dalam keadaan-keadaan sangat memaksa dan kejadiannya pun dapat kita hitung tidak lebih dari sejumlah jari tangan.
Muhammad selanjutnya berkata kepadanya : “Dalam dialog ini kita cukupkan sampai di sini saja,supaya besok dapat kita lanjutkan pada dialog kelapan belas.
Wallahu’alam.
Terima kasih Tun.
Dearest Tun
I share the opinion that the crooked bridge must be build. The bridge (design as such) which incoporate the whole complex should proceed as planned.
The crook bridge cancellation together with several other mega project by Pak Lah six years ago is not a short sighted approached. It isn’t the vision that he has not, but more of having No Guts to deal with Singapore since there’s already an objection from this Selat Tebrau Neighbour.
Mr. Clean as he popularly known, Pak Lah is certainly not good enought to be a leader cum Prime Minister of this country.
He lack intellegence and weak. Thanks God, he is not longer the PM.
Yes,Yes,Yes! caya la lu fauzie on April 20, 2009 9:11 AM
… betul tu.
TUN and All Gov
What ever… crooked or straight… the more important is continue your plan to open selat tebrau sea to make it clean water for Pantai Lido and Stulang Laut beach,of cause Dangga Bay too. Thank you new GOV to open back this issues.
Bring back 100% BN Johor!
Thank God you brought up this issue again!
Tak kesahlah kalau orang kata ini ‘pet project’ Tun, saya rasa ramai orang Johor yang nak kan jambatan ni.
Pembinaan jambatan bengkok atau herot di sebelah wilayah Kita sepatutnya diteruskan walau dalam apa jua keadaan sekalipun.
Saya bukanlah Anak Kelahiran Johor, tetapi saya juga cukup-cukup kecewa dengan tindakan ex-PM yang membatalkan projek tersebut dengan alasan kebudak-budakan dan langsung tidak menampakan karisma seorang pemimpin negara.
Walau pun nun jauh diselatan dan saya di Pantai timur, saya tidak dapat menyembunyikan perasaan kecewa tersebut.
Saya melihat pembinaan jambatan tersebut memberi terlalu banyak manafaat dan kesan psokologi kepadakedua negara dan dunia.
Apabila Tun Dr.M mengumumkan hasrak kerajaan untuk membina jambatan bengkok tersebut, saya adalah antara orang yang cukup gembira kerana kesan saya menyedari kesan yang bakal terhasil adalah cukup hebat, sama ada dari segi ekonomi, ekologi, sosial dan hubungan antara bangsa.
Saya tersenyum sendiri dan gembira kerana dikurniakan seorang pemimpin yang berpandanga jauh dan cukup berwawasan, sungguh terharu rasanya disaat pengumuman tersebut dibuat.
Kesan dari pembinaan jambatan tersebut juga membawa gambaran yang buruk tentang imej singapura di mata dunia, bermakna kita tidak perlu menghebahkan kepada dunia tentang kesombongan singapura dalam hubungan diplomatik, ia cukup tergambar dengan pembinaan jambatan tersebut. bermakna selagi jambatan itu wujud imej singapura akan tercalar. kita juga hanya perlu menentikan singapura sendiri membina jambatan baru disebelahnya tanpa perlu diminta.
dari segi ekonomi dan sebagainya sudah tercatit segalanya, yang bakal mengajar negara republik itu yang terlalu bergantung kepada sumber palabuhan sebagai ekono mi utama.
Saya berharap agar PM baru dapat meneruskan kembali projek ini dan menebus kembali kesilapan besar yang dilakukan oleh ex-PM yang terlalu flip flop
Tun,
Just read.
A Malaysian couple migrated to Singapore at an old age of 88
‘Singapore is safe,’ says the grandfather of nine, who lived in Kluang, Johor, before he immigrated here. He also liked the ‘environment and good sanitation’ here…
But we must first try to achieve wawasan 2020.
What do you think.

Good Afternoon TUN,
I think it is safe to say that most of the Johoreans(including myself) wants that Crooked Bridge to be built.The conjestion facing most of the Johorians right now when trying to enter to Singapore for work is terrible.Nearly hours are spent everyday stuck inside the jam for most of our Johoreans just in the name of trying to make ends meet.
Personally i think that the government should scrap the new Penang Bridge project and try and concentrate on the Crooked Bridge in Johor.Furthermore it is right to say that it is useless for the government to built a bridge in a state where most of the people supported the opposition party to run their state.And we the Johoreans has always give support for the BN ruling ever since UMNO was around.
The new Custome,Immigartion,and Quarantine office is just a pain in the ass for most of the road uses who wants to enter Johor from Singapore.It is just a simple example of the screwed up ruling of Pak Lah and family.It just shows that Pak Lah never did any research on anything when coming to the development of the country.
Now Playing : Deftones – Korea
Selamat Tghari Tun,
It is not just a crooked bridge Tun, it is a “hairpin” bridge with only two lanes on each side contributes more heavy traffic, as it does not have a proper individual vehicles lane. It all rojak!
But it good for motorcycles in ‘tangkap corner’.
Yang Berbahagia Tun
Saya tak terperanjat sedikitpun bila pak pak menteri kita nanti bakal berkata jambatan ini bagus untuk negara.
Dahulu pun semasa zaman pemerintahan Tun mereka pernah berkata perkara yang sama.
Bezanya mereka semua belot terhadap Tun sebab terlalu mengampu bekas PM kita.
Sememangnya telah menjadi dasar Pak Pak menteri kita hanya jaga periuk nasi tapi tiada etika.
Langsung tiada pendirian…
Maaf pada pak pak menteri yang terasa
Hanya buah fikiran budak lekeh……
1 Saya orang Johor
2 Kenapa nak buat jambatan bengkok, namanya bengkok membahayakan lalulintas …kenapa tak buat jambatan lurus, kan kita orang Islam disuruh pilih jalan yang lurus.
3 Saya rasa projek jambatan bengkok ini suatu khayalan yang kita asik perkatakan untuk menegakkan maruah kita yang dicabar Singapore.
4 Saya cadangkan tanah KTM yang merentasi pulau Singapore diberikan kepada Singapore dan kita ambil Woodland sebagai ganti, secara tak langsung tambak Johor kesemuanya milik kita dan tidak akan timbul lagi isu jambatan bengkok , kita buat jambatan lurus. Selalunya rundingan dua hala dengan Singapore merugikan kita, tapi kali ini boleh menguntungkan kita.
5 Sekarang PM dan ahli-ahli kabinet sudah berubah wajah. Kalau nak bagi kontrak untuk buat jambatan itu, kena teluslah jangan bagi kroni-kroni supaya wang rakyat tidak dibazirkan dengan komisen atas angin.
TUN.
Saya yakin Kerajaan Datuk Sri Najib akan meneruskan usaha untuk menyambungkan semula jambatan yang terbengkalai itu. Projek ini dilihat banyak memberi faedah kepada rakyat Johor dan ekonomi negara. Rata2 keseluruhan rakyat johor mahukan jambatan ini. Jambatan ini tidak akan membuatkan negara rugi. Pelaburan nya akan boleh dilihat dan diwarisi oleh rakyat untuk ratusan tahun akan datang jika ia tidak kena bom atau dihanyukan tsunami.
TUN, tertarik sedikit untuk menyentuh Bi elction N12 di Penanti.
Terdapat perbezaan pendapat di antara anggota UMNO/BN sama ada untuk bertanding atau walk over. TUN memberi pendapat agar di tandingi.
Pada saya kedua pendapat boleh diterima untuk dikaji sebelum keputusan dibuat. BN perlu dapat mengenal pasti yang mana satu terbaik. Jika bertanding apakah kerajaan dapat kemenangan selesa atau apa2 pertunjuk jika kalah. Jika tak bertanding apa pulak kesan nya.
Kerajaan mesti dapat mencari pertunjuk dan punca sebenar untuk dirongkai agar dapat menarik pengundi untuk menyebelahi kerajaan.
Atau kerajaan sekali lagi akan membazirkan wang dengan memberikan bantuan ‘kecemasan’ kepada pengundi2 di sini dan akhir nya mereka tidak juga berterima kaseh dan tidak memberi kemenanagan pada BN.
Umum tahu bi election ini satu mainan politik Annuar untuk memerangkap kerajaan BN. Namun dia juga tidak pasti sejauh mana sokongan rakyat di Penanti itu maseh padu menyokong nya atau tidak.
Kesempatan untuk berkempen ini akan digunakan nya untuk sekali lagi berbohong pada rakyat dengan pelbagai cemuhan dan fitnah pada kerajaan DSN untuk menutup kelemahan dalam PKR.
BN tak perlu melatah dan terikut2 rentak nya. BN berterus terang saja dengan pengundi2 di Penanti, mahu dibela atau pun mahu terus terpesona dengan pidato Annuar yang hanya hayalan itu untuk terus hidup dalam keadaan tak terbela. Tidak ada pembagunan dikawasan itu. Nasib dan kebajikan rakyat tidak di bela sebaik mungkin.
Jika mahu berubah nasib, undilah BN. Bila BN menang segala masaalah dikawasan itu akan diselesaikan.
Jiak maseh juga BN kalah, kerajaan telah pun berjimat ratusan ribu atau jutaan ringgit semata2 untuk memberi gula2 pada rakyat yang tak mahu berubah ini.
Jadi nya ambil keputusan yang terbaik. Melawan atau memberi kemenangan percuma pada Annuar.
Jika nak lawan, lawan lah sugguh2.Jangan hanya setakat menangkis dan mempertahankan diri sahaja. Serang habis2san sehingga kelubang cacing pun dikorek akan kelemahan2 parti PKR/PR ini.
Tapi tak usah lah beri Si Ezam tu pergi berceramah. Mual lah dengar ceramah nya. Lagipun orang2 Penanti tentu anti kat dia kerana pembelut. Ini akan merosakkan jentera parti dan mood pengundi. KJ pun tak perlu nak tunjuk muka nanti jadi penyebab pulak pembangkang jadikan modal berkempen.
Salam buat Tun berdua moga dirahmati Allah s.w.t.
1.Membina jambatan didalam negara sendiri walaupun sudah ada dan hendak tambah lagi senang kerana rakyat faham lebih-lebih lagi untuk kepentingan rakyat negara kita.
2.Cuma rakyat akan marah bila hendak menggunakan jambatan itu di kenakan bayaran yang tidak statik maksud saya kian meningkat.Contohnya tahun ini kadarnya RM 7.00 tahun depan naik lagi RM 7.50.
3.Alasannya kos meningkat atas bahan-bahan pembaikan.Rakyat suka akan kemudahan yang disediakan cuma sangsi serta bimbang kemudahan yang disediakan itu untuk tujuan perniagaan yang tidak statik serta
bersifat keuntungan untuk golongan tertentu.
4.Dalam dunia siber tampa sempadan ini sekarang sudah timbul klon Soros yang baru mencipta teori-teori keuntungan yang menjauhi hukum-hukum dalam al-Quran.
5.Sebab itu riba diharamkan dalam perniagaan.Tetapi teori-teori yang menyamai riba bukan yang ditulis dalam al-quran berleluasa di gunakan masa kini.
6.Contohnya saman kereta digunakan untuk mengatasi kemalangan.Dari segi logiknya adalah keberangkalianya begitu kecil mengatasinya malah membawa masaalah ekonomi kepada rakyat.Saman perlu dikenakan pada mereka yang benar-benar terlibat kemalangan dan melanggar aturan jalan raya.Kemalangan kelajuan terletak pada keupayaan kereta itu maksudnya kelajuan kereta itu perlu diubah oleh sistem yang ditetapkan umpamanya setakat 60km sahaja.
7.Logiknya kos rakyat tidak patut dinaikkan kerana keuntungan diambil secara kuantiti.Walau pun 0.20 sen kalau didarap 2 juta rakyat kita sudah berapa.Kalau di naik lagi sudah berapa yang boleh di kaut keuntungannya.Cara inilah selalunya digunakan oleh peniaga-peniaga mengaut keuntungan dari harga yang rendah.Sementara kurangnya bilangan pembeli diletakkan harga yang mahal.
8.Jadi peniaga-peniaga yang tamak atau nak cepat kaya mengunakan mekanisma ini.Kalau beri pinjaman guna sistem konventional pada rakyat sebab boleh kaut untung berlebihan dengan faedah yang dikenakan.Sistem Islam asli dalam al-Quran diubah kadarnya dengan perbagai nama terutama sekali untuk pemberian saham sebab faedahnya kurang serta mula diubah mereka yang bukan Islam.
9.Atas dasar ini pihak Singapura sudah pasti mencari jalan untuk membolehkan keuntungan hasil pembinaan jambatan ini.Sebab itu berbagai permintaan dari pihak mereka.
10.Saya percaya rakyat tetap menyokong pembinaanya kalau diikuti dengan janji-janji bertulis serta diikuti dengan dimeteraikan dengan kontrek sosial dalam akta perlembagaan negara demi masa depan rakyat Malaysia.
11.Maka semua rakyat jelata boleh menikmatinya dan di gunakan oleh mereka semua atas urusan kehidupan manusia kecil,besar,kaya ,miskin dan yang baik sekali milik rakyat.Mereka yang berkerja disitu kemudian perlu mengikut kontrek yang telah ditetapkan sekarang dengan tidak boleh diubah-ubah walau pun belaku malapetaka besar terhadap jambatan itu.
Wallahua’lam.
Tun,
Crooked Bridge ini diutara dan ditimbulkan kembali oleh Tun sangat
dialukan.
Projek yang macam ini harus dipertimbangkan oleh DSN dan kabinet beliau. Kalau projek ini dipertimbangkan dan ianya menjadi nyata,
rakyat suka dan kagum dengan kepimpinan DSN.
DSN dan kabinet beliau akan lebih menyerlah dengan terjadi projek
seperti ini.
DSN telah ada 1Malaysia dan ditambah dengan projek crooked bridge ini akan meninggikan lagi ketokohan dan karisma beliau. Betul tak Tun?
Kalau Tun masih PM, saya percaya crooked bridge ini telah siap dibina dan telah pun digunakan pada hari ini.
Tun,
Harap sihat disamping keluarga dan kawan2.
The Crooked Bridge (TCB), saya dan juga ramai warga kota JB tidak tahu kenapa projek itu diberhentikan secara tergesa2. Saya masih ingat yang pengumuman untuk scrap the project dilakukan ketika Tun turun JB utk melihat sendiri the latest progress of TCB.
Sebagai rakyat jelatah kami hanya dapat rasakan tidak ada kesinambungan yang baik diantara pimpinan Tun M dan pimpinan Tun Abdullah Badawi pada masa itu. Tapi kita biarkan saja. Apa boleh buat?
Sekarang, timbul balik cerita TCB. Tak salah saya ada reporter tanya hal ini kepada DPM ketika beliau lawat S’pore baru2 ini.
Keadaan ekonomi S’pore makin teruk. Itu yang diberitakan melalui berita rasmi negara itu. Dan Mr Lee Kuan Yew ramal mereka perlu lebih kurang 6 tahun untuk kembali ke tahap normal.
Dan membinaan TCB akan memberi kesan negatif kepada ekonomi S’pore dan juga keluarga Lee. Dalam keadaan ini, mereka mesti akan cuba apa cara sekalipun untuk melambatkan ataupun scrap TCB plan.
Saya percaya, mereka ada bincang dengan Tun Abdullah Badawi dan mereka mesti compramised with some give and take activity. Yang jelas kita telah berikan TCB; tak tahulah apa yang diambilnya…
Sekarang sudah ada pimpinan baru, apakah pimpinan ini juga akan buat lagi satu give and take? atau terlalu menghormati jiran kita sehingga mendapatkan kelulusan menjalankan sesuatu projek di tanah dan perairan kita sendiri? ataupun apakah kita dapat lihat realisalinya TCB?
Kita rakyat biasa. Hanya mampu tunggu dan lihat.
Walau apapun alasan yang diberikan oleh Tun untuk membina TCB, satu alasan yang Tun berikan dulu iaitu ‘Let the water flow’ adalah yang paling saya suka. Touched my heart.
We hope there are no crooks behind the The Crooked Bridge
Tun,
Crooked Bridge ini diutara dan ditimbulkan kembali oleh Tun sangat

Projek yang macam ini harus dipertimbangkan oleh DSN dan kabinet beliau. Kalau projek ini dipertimbangkan dan ianya menjadi nyata,

first thing pak lah do when he hold the prime ministers office is to play golf with singapore minister’s in singapore.what is he trying to show with singapore….”i’m a clean man?” What a pity…
Asalamualaikum bapak…

ni lah sbbnye gak saya simpan tahniah saya utk kabinet baru ni…harap2 depa tak sekadar kabinet perhiasan jer ek…..
semuga bapak sentiasa dilindungi Allah hendaknye….
Finally, after the appointment of Najib as new PM, Malaysian Rakyat have settled down politically, at least mentally.
I am somehow puzzled to see many advertisements in major newspapers for congratulating Najib as PM. Most of these advertisements were put up by State Governments and GLCs. The question is, who do not know the great thing about this appointment? Why should so much moneies spent on these advertisements ? Will the monies be better utilised if they are channelled to charity ? I wonder why our mindsets are still the same as before.
Apa kata pakar undang-undang?
Dulu mereka kata tak boleh bina sebab kerajaan Malaysia boleh disaman oleh Singapura. Sekarang boleh pulak ke?
Sebelum ni ramai perosak dalam kerajaan BN tetapi apa yang terjadi akhirnya? Malaysia dicucuk hidung oleh Singapura….kena ikut kata mereka sampaikan mereka boleh berkuasa dalam wilayah Malaysia (projek koridor wilayah Iskandar)
Build straight bridge, say MPs
JOHOR BARU: Two members of parliament here yesterday urged Malaysia and Singapore to consider building a bridge to replace the old Causeway.
Johor Baru MP Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad and Pulai MP Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said a normal bridge should be built instead of reviving the plan to build a “crooked bridge” on the Malaysian side of the Causeway.
comment:
Dah mula timbul kedengaran pemimpin-pemimpin Johor nak jadi “jagoh” tentang jambatan bengkok.
Mula-mula Shahrir dan sekarang Jazlan pulak, lepas ni nanti siapa pulak ?
Wak Karto, Wak Ponorogoh, Wak Kasmin !!
Assalamualaikum Honorable Tun Dr. Mahathir,
It is a great honour to finally have the opportunity to write to you. It has been four years now that I have been keeping this “amanah” which has been given to me by the good villagers of Dohazari, Bangladesh. I have tried various means to get in touch with you personally to pass this message for the past years now, and I pray that this words will finally reached you.
Briefly:
I visited this small village in Bangladesh four years ago and stayed there for about a month. The villagers, after knowing that I was from Malaysia, constantly visited me, mentioning your name and speak very highly of you. Although they are by no means poor, I was touched by their kindness which they have shown towards me.
There is a message which they requested me to deliver personally to you, which was with me since 2005. I pray, Tun, that you would received this:
The villagers of Dohazari, Chittagong Port City, Bangladesh, wish to convey their Salam to you and wish you the very best of health. May Allah shower you with His blessings.
Me and my wife, Ina, pray the same for you, Tun.
Jazakallah Khairan.
Yours truly,
Abdul Malik Cheah
Ayahanda Tun,
//6. Does the Government need to ask Singapore for permission to build the now desirable crooked bridge? Is Malaysia free to do things in its own territory? Are we really independent? I wonder.//
No. The government should not ask permission from Singapore. However, we do not know how many of the corrupted BN’s silence elegant members are against this project which do not fill up their own pockets but to our real economy as a whole, that is why we are still not independent.
At least now, we know that Sharil Samad is against this project. What about Pak Lah, KJ and his kaki2 bodek, and also those who are supporting them behind the UMNO’s curtain???
DS Najib, whether to continue this project or not, it’s your time to show us. Send our International Trade Ministry to Singapore to discuss a win-win policy for both countries because we are talking about international trade between Malaysia and Singapore.
Eventhough Tun Mahathir adviced that the by-election must go on so that BN may not dissapoint the Penanti rakyat. I sincerely do not want the by-election in Penanti because it’s really making us tired and disgusted to see how BN and PR politicians are fighting for the sake of winning the seat.
I am a great supporter of Tun Dr Mahathir, but I am not a YES man because I do have my stand in matters that I strongly believe in.
Good day Ayahanda Tun.
salam tun..
kepada ‘cklife’
sebab tulah kita nak buat jambatan bengkok.. kirenye dalam kawasan kita je.. jadi tak perlu kita nak mintak permission dgn singapore.. kite punya kawasan tak limited, yg limited kawasan singapore lah.. ‘cklife’ ni org singapore rasenya…hhaha
sebelum kau kata tun tak blh pikir, baek ko pikir betul-betul dulu.. lu yg tak pikir dulu sebenarnya… fikiran lu yg limited…hahaha..
saya setuju dgn tun.. kalau pembinaan dulu tak dibatalkan, jambatan tu dah nak siap dah skrg.. membazir je bayar pampasan dulu sebab tak jadi buat.. harap-harap kali ni jadi… Amin..
Dear Tun,
Org Johor kan semua malas nak tunjuk perasaan.. coz most of the Chinese are working in Spore then the Malays biasa lah with our tidak apa attitute..
Hakikatnya semua nak Jambatan tu even our Sultan said so during 1 of his openning speech at Danga Bay..
Tun,
nk buat balik modal dh besar.dulu dh bayar pampasan kpd main kontractor.ini bleh jadi modal anwar brahim kutuk BN.
tapi jgn takut klau ada kebaikan truskan projek jambatan indah tu.
rakyat skrg perlukan semangat global malaysia Boleh.
Assalamualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir,
Ayah saya adalah seorang Warganegara Malaysia dan saya lahir di luar negara. Saya bermastautin di Malaysia sebelum memasuki darjah Satu. Ini bermakna sudah 28 saya bermastautin di Malaysia. Pada masa ini, saya hanya memperolehi taraf PR.
Disebabkan keluarga saya miskin, saya hanya mampu belajar setakat Diploma in Computer Science. Syukur Alhamdulillah, saya mendapat First Class Award. Cita – cita saya untuk menyambung ke peringkat Ijazah, terbantut dihalang kos yang lebih tinggi dan tidak layak memohon bantuan PTPTN.
Kesetiaan saya kepada negara ini tidak perlu dipersoalkan. Semua ahli -ahli keluarga saya menetap di sini. Bukan ingin mendabik dada, kefasihan Bahasa Melayu saya seratus peratus amat memuaskan. Ini diakui sendiri pegawai ‘Imigration’ Singapura semasa saya melawat negara tersebut baru – baru ini. Malah mereka tidak percaya saya hanya memegang taraf PR Malaysia!
Saya mengambil bahagian dalam Larian Rakyat untuk menyokong Malaysia dalam menawarkan diri menjadi Tuan Rumah Sukan Asia.
Pada pendapat Tun, tidakkah saya layak menjadi Warganegara Malaysia?
Adakah Tun dapat membantu saya?
Sekian terima kasih.
Dear MFM
Saya bersimpati dengan situasi saudara dan menghargai kesetiaan anda terhadap negara. Bekas pembantu rumah saya dari Kemboja telah mendapat PR walaupun hanya baru berada di negara ini selama 4 bulan? PR tersebut diberikan semasa Pilihanraya tahun lepas oleh negeri lain yg bukan tempat dia bermastautin? Pelik bin ajaib.
Dear Tun Dr M,
If we think rationally, eco-friendly, hygienic and environmental justice the current causeway should be completely demolished and a new bridge, which does block the whole flow of water,should be built.
I am very sure that Singapore is very well aware of this necessity and its urgency.
However, the Singaporeans, are afraid that if it is done then Malaysian ports could pull away some of their customers. I really don’t understand why Singapore is so sensitive and they always want the best of everything without having to bother about others welfare.
Many Singaporeans think all Malaysians are stupid and lazy. This mentality proves that they still backwards in their thinking like “katak di bawah tempurung”. They should note that Malaysians have achieved my 1st as far as ASEAN is concerned.
As for the demand in the need for a curved bridge, I feel we should actually go for full bridge. I have strong feeling that, it is bridge matter to the world court we would definitely win. We should teach the ‘Kiasu’ driven Singaporeans that we are having safe economy and they are having risky. Risky business might give good returns but the severe downfall could take place at any time (normally during economic defects).
tak payah minta kebenaran singapura , buat aje jambatan , malah akan mengurangkan kesesakan , ianya juga akan meningkatkan ekonomi dalaman malaysia bila jambatan itu dibina , sebab itu singapura nak buat pusat perjudian terbesar diasia kalau jambatan itu dibina . hakikatnya negara jiran kita itu memang tak boleh tengok kita berkelebihan sebenarnya dari segi ekonomi . cuma saya terfikir pula dengan wilayah iskandar , adakah tanah diwilayah iskandar juga dijual.
kepada org asing .
“By cklife on April 20, 2009 8:31 AM
Tun,
I think our territory is limited..
You certainly can’t build the bridge into Singapore’s territory, unless you send armies.
Apa lar lu… cam tu pon x tau.. hehheeh”
Apa ke bangang geogrfi ko cklife??? Malaysia nak buat jambatan tu dalam teritorry Malaysia. Ko tau tak kat Singapura masih ada tanah Malaysia?? Sbb tu la dia jadik bengkok since singapura tak setuju buat jambatan tu kat tanah mereka. Bila bengkok semuanya dalam teritorry Malaysia. Wei belajar la dulu sebelum bercakap. Tak ke nampak kebodohan kamu!! Bengong nak kata Tun tak tau..ko tu tak reti!! Sorry Tun tapik mamat camni kene ajar sbb bercakap tak gune otak!! Ni la yang paling ramai kat mesia skunk ni sbb tak berilmu. Tu yang ikut membabi buta je.
Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun,
Jambatan bengkok bagi menggantikan tambak johor adalah cetusan idea Tun. Namun pak lah telah membatalkan pembinaan nya. Saya sendiri rasa terkilan jambatan tu tak jadi di bina. Selalu nya cetusan idea tun semua nya baik yang bolih mendatangkan faedah kapada rakyat dan negara kita. Jika tidak silap saya antara sebab Tun ingin jambatan bengkok tu di bina ialah:
1.Tambak johor sediada tidak mampu menampung aliran lalu lintas kenderaan yang begitu banyak antara singapore/Malaysia.
2.Tambak johor sediada telah menyekat aliran air laut . Ini menyebabkan keadaan air laut disitu tidak sihat untuk ikan.
3.Dengan membina jambatan bengkok membolihkan kapal kapal kontena, kapal membawa minyak,gas dan sebagai nya lalu di selat tu tanpa mengelilingi pulau singapore. Kapal kapal akan menggunakan pelabuhan milik Malaysia iaitu pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas.Ini akan meningkat kan hasil kapada kerajaan Malaysia.
Saya yakin,YABhg.Tun mempunyai “rahsia”tersendiri mengapa Tambak Johor sediada perlu di robohkan. Jika tidak menjadi “kesalahan” saya berharap Tun memberi sedikit penjelasan di dalam blog Tun ini untuk rakyat faham mengapa Tun cadangkan jambatan bengkok di bina bagi menggantikan tambak johor sediada. Jika “rahsia” ini menjadi rahsia kerajaan tak payah lah Tun jelaskan . Kesian kapada Tun nanti kena dakwa pula di bawah Akta Rahsia Resmi(OSA).
Sekian.Terima kaseh

Yg DiKasihi Tun,
DSNTR ni penakut tak habis-habis. Dulu takut dengan DSAAB dan sekarang takut pula dengan orang dan kerajaan asing. Sampaikan nak berlawan di Penanti pun takut dengan Mat King Leather. Cakap aja berdegar-degar tapi buatnya tak serupa. One Malaysia sudahnya jadi
Salam Tun,
1) If Singapore agrees it will be a straight bridge, but they will not agree. Why?
2) For decades they have been changing and altering their coastline.
3) Uninhabited islands have been turned into industrial zone or some other purpose.
4) Reclaimation works in the Straits of Johor along JB have began specifically at Pulau Tekong, Pulau Ubin and many others.
5) If this continues, huge valuable landbanks will be created, while we develop IDR. Good for them.
6) The Straits of Johor would be a bigger version of Sungai Seget even worse if the Causeway is not removed. Bad news Ghani.
7) Build the Crooked Bridge or we will have to close Johor ports in the near future.
8) Singapore have never appreciated its historical link to Malaysia and are more interested to be good partners to the US. So be it…..
Wassalam
Salam to Tun and all,
I always looking forward for the bridge to be built. Bukan kerana ego tapi untuk kualiti air yg lebih baik. Nevertheless I just wonder, have we done proper study to ensure the “new current” wont affect the coastline negatively. I still remember during my geography class where dramitic changes near the coast will have negative impacts on the coast line.
And about our ex PM, my humble request to Tun, stop commenting about him. We take what had happened as lesson learned and let bygone be bygone.. Just be aware of his “extended arms”.
God bless all of us.

YAB Tun,
The bridge is a good idea, period!. if not for Singapore’s reluctance to build it on their side it would have been a not so crooked bridge.
Tun Abdullah made a blunder in stopping that project. Why cant we just say it? Just admit and say it that he made the wrong decision to stop the project.
I believe this is one of the many reasons that the younger generations and young professionals feel disillusioned by UMNO and the BN Government.
UMNO and BN prefer to remain in the state of denial out of the self professed belief that by being ‘nice’ they will achieve understanding and create a ‘peaceful’ culture.
Unfortunately this perception and thinking is flawed.
We have witnessed and experienced the result of this state of denial and the yes-man syndrome. BN became weak, BN lost important states, UMNO became disorganized and individuals like Khairy Jamaludin got the upper hand to self proclaim authority.
The younger generations and professionals do not want to be treated as if they are people without brains. Gone are the days when politicians just had to be politicians.
A very good example is when Khairy Jamaluddin won the Youth Chief seat recently. In brief it was an insult to the people at a time when UMNO is saying that it is getting rid of corruption beginning from within its own fold. Despite being found guilty of corrupt practices to win votes, no one said a word about it during or after the assembly.
This ‘silence’ will always be perceived as simply arrogance or denial on the part of a political party that claim to uphold the virtues of sincerity, transparency and vision.
When words and action does not jive and further the actions blatantly disregard the people’s intelligence, UMNO will only march 2 steps ahead only to discover later that it has fallen 4 steps behind in the eyes of the people.
Salam Tun,
saya juga rakyat Johor.. tak pernah kata taknak kepada jambatan.. tapi pemimpin yang kata tidak kepada jampbatan bengkok.. kalau kabinet dulu yang kata tidak kepada jambatan tu, kabinet sekarang pun ade jugak orang yang sama pada ketika itu. adakah mereka akan kata ya kepada jambatan tersebut? kalau ya, kenapa dari dulu lagi tak kata ya!!? Jadi tak payah ler bazir duit bayar sampai 100juta! kalau 100k takper ler..
pendirian setiap pemimpin tu yang penting, bukannya asyik nak ikut kata orang paling atas saje. Letih ler..
Salam Ayahanda Tun Dr M,
Mengapa masih ada yang mencetus/memprotes apa saja kesilapan yg UMNO/BN lakukan,
walhal PAS DAP PKR terlalu byk cacatcela yg tak terkira.
PAS parti yg bukan lagi memperjuangkan Islamiah , masih lagik jadik ikutan.
Sedarlah wahai MELAYU, lupakan sedikit salah silap UMNO, kemabalilah pada UMNO, marilah MELAYU bersatu di bawah UMNO,
PAS yang banyak cacat cela anda ble pejam mata maafkan, inikan pula UMNO yang byk berjasa, ,,,
UMNO KINI UMNO YANG SEDANG BERGERAK MAJU KEHADAPAN.
YANG SUDAH/LEPAS BIARKAN BERLALU,,,, UMNO-PAKLAH DAH BERKUBUR,, KINI UMNO DI BAWAH D.S NAJIB N TUN DR M….
MARILAH WAHAI KAUM MELAYU,,,,KITA PERTAHAN KAN BUMI TANAH MELAYU YG MASIH HAK KITA….
JANGAN LAH BIAR ANAK CUCU KITA HILANG HAK PRIBUMI…..
JADIKAN SEMPADAN SELATAN(SINGAPORE) DAN PATTANI SEBAGAI PENAGAJARAN DAN TELADAN..
Salam Tun,
Pelik! memang pelik keputusan Badawi semasa pembatalan projek tersebut… Orang Johor bantah???!!! buat lee bancian berapa kerat orang Johor yang bantah… yang sebenarnya Orang Singapura yang desak supaya jangan diteruskan… sebab?? Rakyat Malaysia boleh faham sebabnya jika mereka buat kajian sikit… tak perlu terangkan…
Saya amat sakit hati bila pemimpin kita terlalu mengikut telunjuk Jiran kita walaupun untuk bina jambatan di tanah kita sendiri!!!!
Yang Berbahagia Tun,
Saya daripada mula dulu lagi sejak projek jambatan ini dibatalkan telah bertanya pada diri sendiri:-
“Ini kabinet Pak Turut ke? Masa Tun, semuanya say “YES”, lepas Tun bersara, aikk? semuanya “NO” pula?”
Kita semua maklum, projek tu bukan projek perancangan sehari. Saya tak kisah lah Tun kata “Yes”, Pak Lah kata “No”, tapi yang saya pelik ialah pendirian pemimpin-pemimpin kita. Kebanyakan mereka tu sama, cuma Ketua saja bertukar (dari Tun kpd Pak Lah). Perancangan negara (yang bukannya dibuat dalam masa sehari) pun boleh bertukar juga? Pendirian apa ini?
Anyways, saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menyeru “RAKYAT MALYSIA YANG SEJATI”, supaya meluangkan sedikit masa untuk merenungi tulisan Sdr. KijangMas, demi Negara yang tercinta.

salam perjuangan buat Tun yang dikasihi.
1.Saya sangat setuju dengan saranan Tun itu.
2.Teruskan pembinaan jambatan tersebut demi kebaikan dan kepentingan rakyat malaysia.
3.Tidak perlu takut atau bertanya pada Singapura berkaitan hak kita.
dah la Pulau Batu Putih dah terlepas dengan alasan “win-win situation” nya…
4.Disamping itu ada baiknya juga kita berhati hati dengan jarum-jarum israel dari bumi Temasik itu…

Apa pun kata kata atau komentar yang mengata atau mencemuh Tun Dr M kembali giat dalam arena politik, pedulikan Tun Dr M.Mereka ini BAHLUL!!!!
Melayu dah nak tergadai maruah pun korang masih nak kutuk , cemuh Tun Dr M.
Bagi saya hanya ayahanda Tun Dr M sahaja yg mampu membawa Melayu dan Islam ke era kegimilinagan kembali.
Kepada Sentra , kalau cakap pandang2, jangan main tabur je airliur……
Korang tak dedaq lagik ka..Tanah Melayu dah nak tergadai..

No need for crooked bridge: Johor Baru MP
By AUSTIN CAMOENS
JOHOR BARU: Johor Baru Member of Parliament Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad is against the revival of the crooked bridge project between Malaysia and Singapore, and has instead proposed that both countries work together to build a straight one.
He said that a straight bridge would be good for building better bilateral ties between the two governments.
Asalamualaikum wbt…
Jambatan bengkok/ indah ini sepatutnya dibina sejak lama dulu. kerajaan 3 beranak ini yg menrosakkan segalanya hanya kerana kene minta kebenaran dari pakcik LKY. bangang!!!
Air di selat tebrau tu busuk….dugong pon dah takder…pupus agaknya. Berlumpur, kotor dan kualiti air amat teruk…kalau mandi, silap ari bulan banyak “duit 10 sen” timbul atas badan.
Saya bukan membenci Singapura…tapi org yg mentadbir singapura itu yg buat saya rasa meluat dan jelek melihat kelakuan dan perangai bongkak mereka.
Dahlah, beli air free….lepas tu nak demand sana sini. kalau taknak jambatan..tutup ajer jambatan tu…tak payah masuk. Senang..sampah tak banyak, jenayah turun, harga rumah pun jadik rendah, nak beli tanah pon murah dan makan seafood pon murah.
Yang si melayu singapura ni pulak, saya kenkadang tak paham…bersatulah demi kebajikan generasi mendatang. Buat kajian sebanyak mana anak melayu yang betul berperangai “melayu”.
Sedih aku tgk anak-anak melayu (itupon kalau masih “melayu”)tak kira lelaki atau pun pompuan dok selamba kissing, tatoo, meraba sana sini di public area.
Pengikisan budaya samada melayu atau bangsa lain, semmgnya ketara…cuma ada satu bangsa…iaitu bangsa singapura yg tak berbudaya..hanya budaya wang dan budaya judi (tgh bikin kompleks judi) dan memperkasakan yahudi di rantau asia ini.
Menjadi paksi kepada isreal dan kerja lain takder hidup menyekik darah jiran tetangga yg selama ini bermurah hati membekalkan air pada kadar yg tak masuk akal. Jahanam!!!!
kalau dah tahu menumpang tu….ikutlah cara menumpang..walaupun menang pulau batu putih, Allah mengetahui segalanya. jangan ingat batu kecik tu tak boleh tenggelam. Kun Faya Kun…
Singapura takut dengan bayang-banyang sendiri. Mas Selamat yang dikatakan berjaya melarikan diri dari high security prison masih ada di Singapura. My guts says that he is dead long ago. What can that poor guy do. Apa org2 islam di kota singapura buat…mereka hanya pura-pura tak nampak.
Buat malu!!!!!! Gelang Serai yang dulu gah dengan pelbagai aktiviti org2 melayu kini dicemari dengan kegiatan tidak bermoral. Kawasan ini sudah menjadi “red light area”. Masyallah.
Pendek kata, org-org mcm nilah yg si KJ and Pak Lah dok sembah sebelum membuat sebarang projek. Well donelah untuk ex kerajaan tiga beranak sebab meninggalkan banyak tahi yang perlu DSN kene bersihkan.
Wonder, what the hell is KJ doing now??? if i were the PM…i’ll kick his ass for sure and send this joker to jail if found guilty of treason.
Note to KJ: Hello mr KJ….you go Fly Kite…:- the longer you stay in UMNO…the more shit you’ll make. Go in peace.
sincerely
Anak jati Johor – Beranak, sekolah dan kerja di Johor.
Salam tun dan pembaca semua,
1. YAB Ustaz Azizan kata dia heran apasal DS Najib kata nanti banyak pula nak kena guna duit untu pilihanraya kecil Penanti tu, sebab dia guna duit selalu sikit jaa…. habuan beli kopi dgn nasi jaa…
2. Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan…. inilah dia tahap pemikiran Menteri Besag Kedah…………………………:(
3. Tak tehawan kalu langsung apa benda yang menyebabkan orang kata perbelanjaan besarg tu… dok kira nak kenen saja kononnya depa tak pernah dok kena belanja besarg…
4. Macam ni kah tahap kecerdikan dan ‘pandangan jauh’ orang-orang yang kita nak cuba angkat untuk tadbir MALAYSIA?
5. Dia tak pikiarg dah bab SPR, kos Urusetia Pilihanraya, kos tenaga manusia yang kena bertumpu di sana, kos Penempatan POLIS dan FRU yang MESTI disediakan bila mana orang PKR bertanding- memang sah dah depa ni kaki buat kacau….
6. AND FOR WHAT? because we need to entertain certain individuals who quits from their work at their whims and fancy.. senang-senang letak jawatan.. hei muuuaaakkk la dengan geng PKR ni… SUNGGUH!!!
Thanks Tun, this blog allows for us mere mortals to air our opinions quit freely. Other so-called democratic leaders of this country do not allow for such avenue quite freely, you know!!!
Again, take care Tun and all.
-si kenit-
Tun,
1)It is simple.some Malaysians are opportunistic.They have no backbones and they sway just like a sailing boat depending on the direction of the wind.
2)See,already taxpayers’money gone the drain by paying compensation and now want to revive it.
3)why the people responsible not punished but the tax defaulters are hunted down aggressively by the IRB?
4)Can the EPU just a good job and come out with a report based on what are the ecomonic benefits and move on from there?
5)Do we need to consult Singapore if it needs to connect the two sides?You would be angry if a neighbour builds a bridge and ends at your land without consulting you first,wouldn’t you?
Well Tun
When Las Vegas was created, all the masses disagreed, condemned and ridiculed Bugsy. But now, Las Vegas is what it is. You too,during your tenureship and even now face similar obstacle. Still, the
common people perceive differently. With your adamant stance, we now have F1, Twin Tower, KLIA, Putrajaya, Penang Bridge, Proton, privatisation and the best was North South Highway (It was a really a torture to ‘balik kampung’ during festive season).
Now we dont see many leaders (Tony Fernandez excluded)who are daring enough to make Malaysia a better place. Town landscape are looking like ‘squaters settlement’, road manners deteriorating, sms terms taking over mainstream langguage. Please advise the policy makers to institute good discipline to the society.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Pada pendapat saya pembatalan binaan sementara waktu “crooked bridge” itu macam ada udang disebalik batu aje. Pembatalan itu untuk sementara sahaja selepas itu akan bina semula, cari kontraktor baru – beri pada syarikat yang ada kaitan dengan KJ atau keju2 dan ahli2 politik yang keji2. Alhamdullilah tak sempat buat ini semua kerana didesak untuk bersara.
Selalunya kalau kita buat “renovation” kat rumah kita tak payah dapat kebenaran jiran sebelah. Untuk silaturahim kita harus beritahu sahaja. Yang perlu kita pastikan pembinaan yang di buat mengikut syarat2 dan undang2 yang ada. Tak perlulah takut atau rasa bersalah. Lagipun “renovation” yang dibuat adalh untuk kepentingan kita, jiran tak perlu nak masuk campur dan rasa iri hati.
Sekarang yang susah rakyat sendiri. Semua ini terjadi berkemungkinan ada tujuan ‘self-intrest’ yang akan mengutungkan, terlampau nak jaga hati jiran atau takut jiran buat bising.
Ada ketikanya susah juga nak jawap soalan Tun samaada kitaini betul Merdeka dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya.
Semoga kita semua dijauhkan Allah dari sifat2yang keji saperti diatas.
Juno.
Salam Tun
The crooked bridge need not be built for it is a waste of money. Johoreans and Malaysians should concentrate on working and spending their money in Malaysia and Johor instead of going over to Singapore and benefitting the Singaporeans. Singaporeans are Singaporeans and Malaysians are Malaysians. Singaporeans are already advanced. We do not have to encourage Malaysians (especially Johoreans) to cross over to Singapore. The less access the better. At least we can concentrate on enriching Johor and spending our money within Malaysia.Some Singporeans have shown themselves to be quite arrogant. If they come over, they may buy over everything. Also recently, they have successfully persuaded the International Court to take away some territory which is nearer to our side. Why are you so interested to have so much access to Singapore?
ezanih
Yang Berbahagia Tun
If you were the one who do all the thinking and talking…..
Why do we need another PM?
Reading through the comments I wonder what sort of knowledge generally the Malaysians know about the purpose of the bridge and why it is very significant to the Malaysian economy (or port).
To enable ships (commercial marine) to pass through Selat Tebrau.
As easy as that!
Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
1) I don
Tun,
This crooked bridge project, like the Petronas Twin Tower and the Sepang F1 projectsM/b> will definately generate significant multiplier impact on the economy.
So, I also hope that DS Najib Tun Razak will seriously consider to continue the project.
Go for it !!

Hello,
By cklife on April 20, 2009 8:31 AM
Tun,
I think our territory is limited..
You certainly can’t build the bridge into Singapore’s territory, unless you send armies.
Apa lar lu… cam tu pon x tau.. hehheeh
xxxxx
That’s why it’s crooked, cos we assume the other half remain status quo. Think or read before you give comment like this!
moga-moga apa-apa juga projek yang dirancang akan memberi menafaat kepada semua rakyat terutama generasi akan datang.

Salam Tok Det,
Sy dh pi CIQ tuh…besaq…dh design in proper way..tp sayang not fully utilised by us…
Lane di sana dijadikan tempat parking dan kaunter imegresen kebanyakannya kosong…pembaziran yg ternyata tidak menyelesaikan masalah.
Sy cadang Tok Det pi ziarah di sana…buat secara mengejut…dan lihat sendiri apa yg dh berlaku dgn projek Mega kita itu.
Dua perasaan wujud ketika berada di sana:
1. Sedih kerana pemimpin sebelum ini..Pak Lah tak boleh berfikiran terbuka dan pengecut. CIQ jd hidup segan mati tak mahu.
2. Risau…sbb keadaan sistem di sana kelam kabut…tahap security sgt longgar dan berterabur. Ini disebabkan terlalu byk ruang yg sepatutnya digunakan dibiarkan kosong tidak berfungsi.
Harap..Tok Najib sambung balik matlamat utama CIQ kita…Jambatan Bengkok tuh mesti diteruskan. Anggaplah zaman PakLah tak ada apa2 yg dia buat pun..jd kita abaikan saja dia…cuma sekarang Tok Najib pulak kena bersihkan taik yg dia tinggalkan utk rakyat.
Go Tok Det!

Tapi segalanya telah rosak,hanya dengan 5thn sahaja takhta pemerintahan di ambil alih oleh si kaki tidur ni.
Kalau diingat kan kembali memang kami rakyat Malaysia keturunan melayu takdapat maafkan Awang tidoq ni n anak menantu dia.
Semoga Tun Dr M dan DS Najib dapat kembalikan hak Melayu , Maruah Melayu dan memajukan Tanah Melayu demi untuk anak cucu kami..
Semoga Allah panjangkan usia Tun Dr M.

Tun,
The Bridge must be constructed for convenience and for development .
As the saying goes “let built bridges,and not fences”. This is one of the 2020 vision and must proceeded for the betterment of Malaysia.
The reason for the hold back is pure corrupt for some of the leaders and the Rakyat was used to indicate the cancellation. When was the Rakyat decision obtained? As far as we Rakyat are concerned, we are never ever being informed, as for what AAB wanted to do or has planned. Just look at the Petrol increase before was the Rakyat consulted then. Only the 4th Floor boys then, made all the decision especially for all of the corridors.
Tun,
wondering if UMNO is keen to maintain KJ as the Ketua Pemuda?
If KJ is still the Ketua Pemuda than UMNO is still a corrupt party?
DSN & TSMY must remove KJ if UMNO need to be relevant as before, and his present would damage UMNO. We Rakyat seek for KJ to be remove as the Ketua Pemuda. KJ is the the root caused for UMNO to be a disrespected party and KJ must go or UMNO will lose the coming PRU13.
AYAHANDA TUN, SESEKALI MASUKLAH KE BLOG ANAKANDA YANG TAK SEBERAPA INI!

Salam Tun Dr Mahathir,
Satu lagi saya nak tambah… saya rasa ketakutan rakyat Malaysia berkenaan projek jambatan bengkok adalah kerana konsesi / persetujuan terhadap penjualan pasir kepada Singapura untuk proses tambakan dan membesarkan Pulau Singapura itu sendiri.. jadik nya, kalau perjanjian ini dibuka semula, cuba la cadangkan, janganlah menambak kawasan yang bersemuka dengan Malaysia, tambaklah pulaunya yang menghala disebelah yang tidak bersemukan dengan Malaysia…. itu kena tegas tu Tun…kalau tidak, tiada apa juga yang boleh dimanfaatkan oleh Johor… malah makin terhimpit dan tersepit lagi… Tah la….
salam Tun,,,,seribu persoalan kenapa BN takut bertanding di PENANTI>>.
Assalamualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir,
Ayah saya adalah seorang Warganegara Malaysia dan saya lahir di luar negara. Saya bermastautin di Malaysia sebelum memasuki darjah Satu. Ini bermakna sudah 28 saya bermastautin di Malaysia. Pada masa ini, saya hanya memperolehi taraf PR.
Disebabkan keluarga saya miskin, saya hanya mampu belajar setakat Diploma in Computer Science. Syukur Alhamdulillah, saya mendapat First Class Award. Cita – cita saya untuk menyambung ke peringkat Ijazah, terbantut dihalang kos yang lebih tinggi dan tidak layak memohon bantuan PTPTN.
Kesetiaan saya kepada negara ini tidak perlu dipersoalkan. Semua ahli -ahli keluarga saya menetap di sini. Bukan ingin mendabik dada, kefasihan Bahasa Melayu saya seratus peratus amat memuaskan. Ini diakui sendiri pegawai ‘Imigration’ Singapura semasa saya melawat negara tersebut baru – baru ini. Malah mereka tidak percaya saya hanya memegang taraf PR Malaysia!
Saya mengambil bahagian dalam Larian Rakyat untuk menyokong Malaysia dalam menawarkan diri menjadi Tuan Rumah Sukan Asia.
Pada pendapat Tun, tidakkah saya layak menjadi Warganegara Malaysia?
Adakah Tun dapat membantu saya?
Sekian terima kasih.
Salam Tun,
Sebenarnya dari dulu lagi saya bersetuju dengan projek jambatan bengkok.Kalau dari dulu lagi projek tersebut dijalankan, saya rasa sekarang ni sudah tentu dah tersergam indah di selatan tanahair.
Tapi kalau sekarang baru hendak buat budjet nya mestilah lebih besar dari dulu. Entahlah , mungkin itu cara kerajaan kita melaksanakan projek kot..nak menunggu harga barang dan kos meningkat baru nak jalankan projek….wallahualam.
Dearest Tun,
No words can describe how much We adore you and may Allah bless u and family. Hope PM Najib will be strick enough to solve this issue of the crooked bridge. We should just carry on with the project without even talking to Singapore as they have already disagree for a stright bridge. To All Malaysian.. we are a free country, arent we… lets see if our govr. can close this case and carry on
Thanks Tun for all you have done and if there is any ungreatful Malaysians who comments negetively towards, please accept our appology for their stupidness and ungreatfullness. We love you and will always stand strongly by ur side.
Dear Tun,
Maybe we should form a commission like what the old administration used to do to find out the real reason why it was stopped before.
To me the motive is greed. So let see which individuals profit from this and bring them to justice. These people are to me ‘Pengkhianat Negara’.
Good Morning TUN,
I think it is safe to say that most of the Johorians(including myself) wants that Crooked Bridge to be built.The conjestion facing mostly Johorians right now when trying to enter to Singapore for work is terrible.Neary hours are spent everyday stuck inside the jam for most of this Johorians just in the name of trying to make ends meet.
Personally i think that the government should scrap the new Penang Bridge project and try and concentrate on the Crooked Bridge in Johor.Furthermore it is right to say that it is useless for the government to built a bridge in a state where most of the people supported the opposition party to run their state.And we the Johorians has always give support for the BN ruling ever since UMNO was around.
The new Custome,Immigartion,and Quarantine office is just a pain in the ass for most of the road uses who wants to enter Johor from Singapore.It is just a simple example of the screwed up ruling of Pak Lah and family.Iy just shows that Pak Lah never did any research on anything when coming to the development of the country.
Now Playing : Deftones – Korea
I’m always with the idea of having the bridge properly build, not only due the heavy trafic but the water quality of the straits will be much better than what we have now….why consult singapore for our projects?
ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN,
PADA PENDAPAT SAYA, KERAJAAN WAJIB MEMBINA JAMBATAN INDAH ITU, PROJEK ITU WAJIB DITERUSKAN, ZAMAN PAK LAH SUDAH BERLALU, BIARKANLAH IA BERLALU, SEKARANG NI KAMI RAKYAT MALAYSIA HENDAK JAMBATAN ITU!
JAMBATAN ITU NANTI MAMPU MENJANA EKONOMI NEGERI JOHOR! DENGARLAH WAHAI DATO SERI NAJIB! BINALAH JAMBATAN ITU DEMI RAKYAT NEGERI JOHOR! PERSETANKAN KATA-KATA NISTA DARI PARTI PEMBANGKANG!
WASSALLAM
Assalamualaikum Tun.
Jambatan bengkok adalah satu idea yang bagus.
Ia dapat mengurangkan kesesakan dan memudahkan pengurusan ekonomi Johor dan kesannya dalam masa yang singkat akan dapat membantu kemakmuran Malaysia keseluruhannya.
Mungkin dalam masa yang terdekat kerajaan Malaysia patut membina jambatan bengkok semula setelah mendapat maklumat yang terkini.
Saya juga baru mendapat maklumat terbaru semalam untuk dimuatkan dalam penulisan saya berkenaan ‘Sistem Politik Islam’.
Sebelum saya kehilangan idea,rasanya patut saya catatkan di sini.
Berkenaan liga ke-3 iaitu Liga Bantuan.
1. Ini adalah hak pemerintah untuk menerima bantuan dari rakyatnya.
2. Saya tidak bermaksud untuk memetik sebuah hadis agar tidak nampak terlalu keras pada pandangan masyarakat.
3. Berdasarkan pada buku yang saya baca Dialog Islam – Kritian : Paderi Bertanya Pelajar Islam Menjawab,yang pastinya tidak berdebatkan tentang Kristian dan Islam secara total tetapi lebih kepada pertanyaan serangan untuk mencari bukan kebenaran.
4. Terlihat tentang satu peristiwa sejarah berkenaan Kaab dan Ashma'(dialog 17) yang memerangi perjuangan Rasulullah s.a.w
5. Ada individu yang ingin menyatakan sesuatu kepada baginda dan baginda telah perkenankan untuk dijalankan atas kebijaksanaan kepada yang bertanya.
6. Dan terdapat beberapa garis panduan yang perlu diteliti,iaitu perlu dilakukan secara senyap kerana terang-terangan akan menyebabkan berlaku permusuhan.
7. Perlu mengajak kepada kebaikan terlebih dahulu.
8. Tipu daya dalam sejarah Islam boleh dibilang dengan jari.
9. Perlu dilakukan bilamana undang-undang tidak diiktiraf oleh tuan punya badan.Undang-undang rasmi Syarie mungkin.
Terima kasih Tun.
Salam Hormat Tun Dr.M & Tun CT berdua,
Semoga Ayahanda dan Bonda berdua dalam Rahmat dan Lindungan Allah,
AMINNNN ….
Saya amat berharap DS Najib akan meneruskan projek Jambatan Bengkok yang terhenti satu ketika ketika pemerintahan “mr.clean hadhari”… Projek ini yang menguntungkan negara dan rakyat keseluruhannya, sepatutnya diteruskan semula.
Walaupun CIQ baru di JB itu telah beroperasi, dengan tidak begitu menepati hasrat pembinaan awalnya, tetapi, eloklah kepemimpinan sekarang kembalikan CIQ tersebut sepertimana hasrat awal, yakni CIQ kepada satu jambatan bengkok! Jangan takut, kita negara berdaulat! Kita tak ganggu hak orang … kita buat dalam tanahair kita sendiri!
Semoga keberanian Tun Dr.M akan diwarisi oleh sekalian barisan kepimpinan DS Najib! … kami rakyat Malaysia mendambakan kepimpinan yang berani demi kebaikan Negara Malaysia tercinta ini!
Salam Kesihatan untuk Tun Dr.M & Tun CT, ayahanda kami Rakyat Malaysia!
Jaga kesihatan baik-baik dan saya doakan segala yang terbaik untuk Tun berdua … Semoga Tun Dr.M & Tun CT terus bahagia, gembira, sihat dan ceria!

How come Umno (BN) is not our choice. It is because the mainstream media (Utusan, TV3 and others) which is not report exactly the thruth what is people want. Under PLah we want the crook bridge but media report that it is not the first choice to be build. I also remember one of the Professor interview by Mingguan Malaysia about the impact if we continue the bridge. The interview is on the front page of the Mingguan Malaysia. So I want to hear that Prof. what he want to say now. You all (media) is so spinning counter clockwise.
I wonder how I wonder why yesterday I saw a blue-blue sky and all I can see just another spinning trees.
sy rakyat johor.. tp saya tidak pernah pun ckp yg saya tidak mahu jambatan itu..
semua rakyat johor nak jambatan tu.. tp kalau dah kerajaan tak nak, tak kan rakyat nak lawan…
kami ni kan umpama semut kecil.. hanya akan menjadi besar bila pilihanraya dah menjelang tiba… huhu.
Shahril suddenly in agreement on that crooked bridge? What a sudden 180 turn. I wonder why?
I’m in agreement on building the bridge since day one. Both countries will be benefited by the bridge. Cleaner water and development can be carried out on both shores.
An icon for world to see what kind of friendship we have with Singapore…
Thanks Tun for puting a sound foundation for the country.
Salam Tun Dr Mahathir,
Hahaa.. Tun, saya tiada jawapan untuk persoalan terhadap senario yang Tun utarakan. Lagipun senario tersebut telah berlalu. Cuma yang saya dapat simpulkan kadang-kadang orang berfikir untuk menang berbanding berfikir untuk menganalisa yang mana memberi manfaat jangka panjang atau sebaliknya. Rasanya ex-dulu, dibutakan mata hatinya atas andaian-andaian melampau oleh orang kiri dan kanannya, ye la kan.. apa-apa jua keputusan disokong tanpa bantahan. Ataupun, sebab idea jambatan bengkok tu daripada Tun… kerana Tun yang memberi idea (semua idea yang sebenarnya baik akan jadi tidak baik…) tak tahu lah Tun.. itupun juga andaian saya…
Yang saya tahu, jambatan benkok tu kalaupun tidak membawa banyak kebaikan, kekurang-kurangnya dapat la menghapuskan tambak Johor yang sudah berkurun menambak laut dan mengakibatkan air laut diselat Tebrau tidak sihat, dan tidak banyak aktiviti yang boleh dimanfaatkan kerana tambakan tersebut menjadikan Selat Teberau menjadi kawasan peraraian yang hanya dapat dipandang tapi tidak dapat dinikmati oleh manusia ramai… Wallahualam…
Salam alaik Tun… Hai, its me 22 years old boy from
University of Malaya again… CROOKED BRIDGE?
Taxpayer-funded research by the National Science Foundation
(sudah tentulah dari Amerika, the United States) has
determined that yards in “upscale,” higher-income neighborhoods
are likely to display a more highly diverse mix of plants
than yards in lower income areas… Did people realized it?
Or as typical civilians, who would have cared? (Saya jamin ramai
rakyat Malaysia yang perasan benda ni, cuma tak mahu berfikir).
Field measurements were done in 30-by-30-meter survey plots,
and included identifying all native and exotic plants;
mapping the area of surface cover; collecting samples of
soils, insects, microbes and pollen; and taking photos from
the center of each plot… (Melambangkan betapa telitinya US
Government dalam penyelidikan berteraskan sains dan
kejuruteraan)… Preliminary analyses show that total plant
diversity in the desert becomes greater as the elevation of
the site increases, but in the city, resource abundance
(government-speak for wealth) is the key factor. (Hai, malunya
orang kita kalau tak pandai sains)…
.
.
Government can either deliberately subsidize by giving a
service away free… (mustahil rasanya diamalkan di Malaysia
walaupun rakyatnya tak malu semua nak free sahaja), or it may
genuinely try to find the true market price, i.e., to “operate
on a business basis.” This is often the cry raised by
conservatives
Salam Sejahtera,
‘4. Is it because no one in Johore at that time really wanted the bridge, or is it that no one dared to differ from the open-minded and liberal ex-PM or the Press did not dare to report the real opinions of the people.’
Y.A.B Tun,
1. Sudah-sudahlah tu Tun.. dah tak ada dah pun Pak Lah
2. Sama jugalah dalam akhbar ‘kunun’ selepas perhimpunan agung UMNO menunjukkan & menggambarkan bahawa Tun, Pak Lah, Najib serta semua pemimpin-peminpin UMNO telah bersatu.
3. Apakah itu juga menunjukkan akhbar melaporkan perkara yang sebenar?
4. Kembalinya Tun ke arena poltik untuk tujuan mengembalikan kegemilangan Malaysia di mata dunia saya setuju, akan tetapi untuk politiking saya fikir Tun patut menjauhkan diri.
5. Tun telah berada di dalam kelas tersendiri & jangalah meletakkan Tun sama seperti pemimpin UMNO yang lain.
6. Sementara itu, cukuplah Tun kritikan & ‘candik’ kepada Pak Lah. Kasihan dia sejak dari menjadi PM sehinggalah ‘dipaksa’ meletakkan jawatan, Tun tak habis-habis menyerang beliau
7. Saya bukanlah penyokong Pak Lah apalagi menyokong UMNO, cuma saya berpandangan ‘buang yang keruh & ambil-lah yang jernih’.
Good Morning Tun,
I propose that govt. conduct a REFERENDUM on this issue and if the majority people (above 50%) vote “YES” then the said bridge should be built.
Thank You.
Salam kepada Tun dan pembaca blog sekalian..
Saya sebagai anak jati kelahiran Johor Bahru sebenarnya merasa amat kecewa dengan pembatalan jambatan bengkok yang telah diilhamkan oleh Tun. Pembatalan pelaksanaan jambatan bengkok ini, saya rasakan seperti ada yang tidak kena. Pembatalan tersebut telah secara langsung menyebabkan bandar Johor Bahru tidak lagi bermaya seperti dulu apabila CIQ beroparasi sepenuhnya.
Saya menyeru kerajaan di bawah pimpinan PM baru DSN, dapat meneruskan usaha pembinaan jambatan bengkok tersebut demi menegakkan maruah tanahir yang begitu tercalar dek angkara takutkan sergahan negara asean terkecil iaitu singapura.
Tun, teruskan bersuara…tanpa Tun, suara kami rakyat Malaysia tidak akan didengari….
Wassalam.
Salam Tun,
Kita memang tak perlu minta izin Singapura kalau dulu pemimpin kita pandai jaga Singapura…saya mewakili suara generasi muda yang menanggung kesilapan pemimpin terdahulu. Semoga pemimpin generasi sekarang tidak meletakkan sebarang beban pada generasi akan datang. Wassalam.
Assalammualaikum Tun,
1. When Abdullah Badawi abandoned the crooked bridge project, I considered him a traitor to the country.
2. This morning another traitor surfaced. He is non other than the not so clever Sharil Samad who, as the Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister made the greatest blunder leaving the rakyat struggling with high consumer goods prices. He prefers to please the Singaporean than our rakyat well being.
3. We pray that we will not have these type of people in the government, insha’allah.
Salam sejahtera to you and your family.
Dear Tun,
I’m sure almost every Malaysian stunned when previous PM cancelled the Crooked Bridge project. As there was no relevancy in doing so.
I do hope that DS Najib Tun Razak will consider to continue the project as it will be a huge benefit to all Malaysians.
The last 5 years were a period of missopportunities – we failed to deliver the double track line. Should the track is ready by now, the economic benefits to the country will be tremendous. Just imagine, liner by pass the “red dot country” and use our train system to get directly to Bangkok and onwards.
Tun,
I think our territory is limited..
You certainly can’t build the bridge into Singapore’s territory, unless you send armies.
Apa lar lu… cam tu pon x tau.. hehheeh
Salam Tun and all readers,
1. Not many people can usually understand the reasons behind most of the things you had envisioned to do.
2. This is because not many people are given the farsightedness you have been bestowed with.
3. and coupled with niggling mistrust to your good intentions, some of your well-meaning plans were scrapped.
4. And then, TIME became the judge of your good plans put to waste.
5. may we all realised that when the good doctor speaks, we should take heed.
Take care Tun, and Tun Siti, May the Light of Allah the Almiighty be on both of you, and on all of us MALAYSIANS. Let us be steadfast in our Five daily solah, for the solah is the most valued of all Allah’s obligatory commands on His servants.
the insignificant one ;
–si kenit
p/s: (pssttt..)Ini nak cakap Melayu, siok sikit. Sivakumar tu nak minta penjelasan dari DYMM Sultan Perak, kenapa Tuanku beri perkenan untuk buat sidang DUN Perak.. Kenapa tak cakap kat dia dulu? Dia kan SPEAKER??? kihkihkihkihkih………????
Mujurlah dia bukan HAKIM, sebab dia suka gantung…………(jawatan orang)!!!!! hhhiiiiihhhhiiiihhhiiii…
haiiii penin dengan yang sorang ni… Cukup-cukuplah dengan yang sorang ni… ye yob ye?
AWW Ytc Tun
Semoga dalam keadaan sehat walafiat juga untuk seisi keluarga. Amin.
The previous PM “flip-flop” do not wish to have a “crooked bridge” because he was the “crook” thus why he just make his own opinion that others do not want it. Why others did not object simply because they are just “law abiding YES MAN” with no gut but just position. Do they knew the tremendous economic implications that will be beneficial to Johore and Malaysia?
Persoalannya “bagaimana kalau projek ini diutarakan oleh orang yang berkepentingan sanaksedara nya?” Jawapannya pasti OK.
Wahai Tun beginilah kalau orang yang tidak mengerti hal kepentingan negara dan si “Flip-flop” itu hanyalah mengerti kepentingan sendiri. Saya sokong “Crooked Bridge” mestilah dibina demi Malaysia. Wassalam wrwb.
Tun,
“6. Does the Government need to ask Singapore for permission to build the now desirable crooked bridge? Is Malaysia free to do things in its own territory? Are we really independent? I wonder.”
1. I too wonder if we are really independent?
2. I sincerely hope that PM Najib does something bold now to proof to us that he is “really independent of Pak Lah” by continuing with the Crooked Bridge!
3. Otherwise, ….
My dear Tun,
Perhaps the hinge is just round the corner. Just awaiting the other unidentified
TUN, you are absolutely RIGHT. At times we should remain silent and at times we are to be vocul in what we believe is right and justifiable. Developement need to go-on and developement is never one-sided. Long run, everyone will benefir out-of-it.
Praise to ALLAH, TUN’s mind is still working as 22++ years ago when you head the country… ALLAH HU’AKHBAR..
Salam Tun. U vision simply superb. we hope our new Pm have the same mentality like u. we really need the another bridge for the johore.
