Malaysia, Singapore should have three to four connecting bridges, Dr M says
19 March 2019
KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today Malaysia and Singapore need at least three to four more bridges to facilitate traffic flow between the two countries. “Even Penang, which has less population than Singapore, at first rejected the first bridge but then, subsequently, we built another bridge and now we want a tunnel, and that’s Penang and the mainland.
Dr Mahathir said Singapore, however, does not want any more bridges for some reason that he himself does not understand.
