The Kra Isthmus in Southern Thailand should be developed expeditiously
by Chinese contractors with financing from AIIB. The Thai government can be convinced on the advantages to Thailand. Besides, the Straits of Malacca is already congested with so many problems - piracy and potential US naval mischiefs.
The Kra Isthmus is the missing link in international maritime traffic. You have the Suez canal, the Panama canal (and the new Nicaragua canal) and now we must complete this by helping Thailand to realise the Kra Isthmus.
Singapore is a sovereign nation and is dependent on China for a lot of its businesses. Although governed by overseas English educated Chinese there (about 70% of Singapore population), their leaders' actions speak louder than words mouthed diplomatically by Singapore English educated elite.
China can contribute tremendously to the construction of the Kra Isthmus and the Thai government can be convinced if they seek financing from AIIB and Chinese construction crew.
