Crooked Bridge and Mind

With due respect to Johor UMNO Youth, do we really need the crooked bridge to Singapore. Malaysia and rest of the world is facing fatal economic and financial crisis while Singapore itself is struggling to keep the country economy upright. There are so many ways to stimulate economic growth and for once start believing in your own strength and capability instead of leaning to Singapore for progress.

I don’t think the people of Johor need the bridge, it’s more of the prospecting contractors that lobbying for it. Start thinking and put smart ideas for the state development and forget about the stupid crooked bridge.

Today, Bernama quoted Johor Umno Youth who expressed hope that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak will review the decision on the project.Johor Umno Youth information chief Khalid Mohamad said today all the people of Johor, regardless of religious belief and race, wanted the government to review the decision.

"The people of Johor are placing high hopes on the Prime Minister to review the decision to cancel the crooked bridge project across the Johor Straits."The effects from the construction of the crooked bridge will be most positive to the Johor economy. We urge the government to reconsider (the cancellation) as soon as possible."Khalid is also the Johor Baru Umno Youth chief.

Pulau Batu Putih goes to Singapore

In more then two hours judgment today the ICJ gave the sovereignty of Pulau Batu Putih to Singapore, Middle Rocks to Malaysia and South Ledge to the country where the territorial waters lies.

South Ledge ownership still subject to the arguments and interpretation of the judgments. So my friends Ancient Mariner and Mindful Mariner are spot on with their prediction on Batu Putih.

So what next? What are we going to do with the Pulau Pisang lighthouse that still man by the Singaporean? Hope we are not going to wait another twenty years to do what is right in our territory.
