Malaysia and Singapore have been planning to build a mega bridge for some time. When the final plans were brought up, Singapore didnt want to build their side of the bridge. Malaysia is now going ahead of their side.

From a newspaper report:

'Malaysia says its bridge, called the "crooked" bridge because of its convoluted design, would boost traffic flow and ease jams on its side of the 81-year-old causeway, allow ships to pass beneath and improve water quality by unblocking the strait.'

What does Singapore have to lose??

The bridge project has been cancelled by the Malaysian PM few months ago.

Who has dimolished that maquette? Why they don't build a straight bridge...? Or is that what they call creativity?

They didnt' build the bridge because Singapore doesn't want a new bridge to replace the causeway

Very Controversial
