Was expecting this, when the Old Fox was voted in....sooner or later, he will review the HSR & he did it the soonest...even though dada's son brought his entourage to meet him & Anwar. This year no more, open durian...old fox will personally open his 'durian' & get...ha ha ha the rear man to smell....ha ha ha ha...next year no more lo hei!

The spectre of the crooked bridge is now making another appearance....looks like the jinx strikes again, the last time, the bet, was Thugsin..now jib & ros...looks like, we are loosing another bet...

We need a better player, who can read the 'cards'...golly! again!! ...wrong bet!

It is strategically true. If Malaysia cut off EVERYTHING from SG, it gains more than lost. SG use transportation efficiency to tap away much of resources especially human resources from Malaysia. Cut off SG, Malaysia will rise up faster and SG sink faster. SG since colonial time tap so much of Malaysian resources starting from water; mineral; primary productions; human; market; etc. SG caused Malaysian development to slow down or regress.

If this High Speed Rail contract was signed with companies associated with 1MDB, Dr M will likely to call it off.
1MDB is in such a huge debt and this project is definitely not based on open tender.

U think Mahathir stupid ? The HSR will stay. Just that the original awarded companies will change. Instead they will be awarded to PKH related companies.

Ask yourself honestly as a Singaporean; do you need the HSR, which is less than 1% in Singapore.??
Oso, the crooked bridge is not so bad an idea. The unique structure will definitely be a tourist attraction and will add to the attractions of northern Singapore.

People forget the Mahathir and Samy Velu team of the past.
Mahathir use to approve projects that benefits his cronies not the rakyat.
Now everybody think Mahathir is the saviour.

bro, you are right; HSR has little benefit for Spore other than turning jurong east into another orchard road kind of area.

I don't mind hopping on a high speed train & get to KL in say 3 hrs? rather than fly or go by bus. There is strategic reasons why the PAP government is adamant on not having the crooked bridge; though it is not a bad idea & make faster traffic both ways; but then again....if Singapore CIQ is going to be always like the song says, " jailor man, sailor sam, is searching every one" & everything...bridge, etc..no use. You will still get the JAMS!!

When HSR is a reality, you find that people working in Singapore n be enjoying their money in Johore and KL day in day out. Other then turning Jurong into another orchard road. ... There is not much benefit flowing out for Singapore.

You ask yourself. Which is worse , Najip or Mahathir ?
Now Mahathir Stars are shining bright. Everyone is attracted to that North Star. This Star signal Hope, Glory and a New Dawn with New Idea. He rescue Malaysia and Malaysian from the evil clutches of Najip and his wife from Certain destruction.

Now pray and tell me, does anyone still want to be reminded of Mahathir's Sin ?
