Malaysia Not Building Bridge Anymore
-
Righto!Originally posted by peeehead:i just think they should plan everything before doing anything
If they want to build a bridge to our side, its common sense to consult us first, come to an agreement, then start the project.
But they are afraid of Dr M, and didn't dare to challenge him about the bridge.
True, the money saved could be redirected elsewhere.
"Bunkus Berjaya" for Malaysians perhaps. -
Finally a clever decision from them
-
Welcome to “Malaysia bolleh”.
It was the Malaysian stand that it is their right to build the bridge on their side of the water (with or without Singapore consent).
For that matter many things had already started and some like the New Immigration Depot is already near completion. All because the more projects are carried out the better is the return to the 10% PM (former).
The present PM at least can now blame Singapore for scraping the project (to save some money for the country). This is “Malaysia bolleh”. -
Our economy is not based on Labour intensive industries but capital intensive and recent years, knowledge based economy. If comparing real cheap labour, Malaysia will lose out to China , Vietnam , Thailand, IndonesiaOriginally posted by Redblood:yes ... many did choose m'sia ... which is why many factories are closing in singapore ... cheap labor and cheap land is what big corps want, that will be the real meat ... regional office in singapore yes ok, small office with a few FTs ...
no offense intended but, we loose out as a fact on things we really loose out on
Companies pull out from spore to open factories in Msia, likewise companies pull out from Malaysia to open factories in China, Vietnam , Indonesia. etc
Factories will definitely be located in low cost centres like China and vietnam , and there will be no end to the relocation to cheaper labour cost centre. If there will be a cheaper place to set up factory, all those China factories will definitely relocate .
It depends on which pt of view you look at. Accountants look at fixed and variable costs for manufacturing and will look at the cheapest place/way to mass produce.
CEOs , will include other hidden costs like political stability, educational level of workforce, govt policies etc .
Anyway the majority of the spore workforce are not factory workers. The Post independence workforce, are mainly white collar workers.
Factory workers in spore, as a matter of fact, are mainly from across the causeway and China , Bangadesh etc.

i think this piece of news could be trusted since its from abdullah himself....if its from syed hamid or other ministers i would probably laugh my ass off
-
Companies relocating factories from Spore to Msia will mean 1 thing : Workers from across the causeway, will now earn RM5/hr instead of S$5/hr . Now those who really suffers are these group of hard working workers.Originally posted by Redblood:yes ... many did choose m'sia ... which is why many factories are closing in singapore ...
Anyway, Msia and Spore Economies complement each other. -
Haha... as usual.. Anyway their elections are not due soon rite ?Originally posted by Mariner:i think this piece of news could be trusted since its from abdullah himself....if its from syed hamid or other ministers i would probably laugh my ass off
Or probably its just another attempt to divert the public's attention from the reduction in fuel subsidy/ hike in fuel price issue. They had some protests at the KLCC rite ? -
lol... while u guys all talk about Malaysia n those about SG.. the two Foreign ministers maybe drinking... smoking some o dat shiet.. tapping some ass laughing at the stupid a$$ citizens making ridiculous statements to throw the public off n hiding the true nature of the situation...
The PM's maybe even be up there... spanking some fresh punani.! -
malaysia is busy with their RM220bln 9th Malaysia Plan (9MP), of course they dun mind saving some money and not build the bridge.
-
haha.. factory move to malaysia also not much harm to us... If u all take a look at most factory worker... mostly come from malaysia... come here earn big bucks go back... if close down or tio pok... also not much singaporean kana...

Singapore invade Malaysia ?!??
Don't make me laugh !
To deal with a small dot island like Singapore all they need is to
fire some missles & or drop some bombs & see where all the
people on the small land can run to !!!! Almost nowhere except maybe
jump into the sea & be drown !
On the other hand Malaysia is much fantastically larger than Singapore with
plenty of space for their people to run & hide etc. from others !
If Malaysia wants to cut the water pipe etc., that's their right to do so.
Too bad Singapore then look elsewhere !
Malaysia is known to own the land which the railway line runs on, so
that'll mean the entire stretch of the Causeway not just 1-half.Originally posted by ^tamago^:they can always build a sloping bridge down to the causeway, like us.....
but then, if they cut our water, we might just invade them. -
Of course it's Malaysia's right to build a bridge with or without Singapore's 'approval' !!
The new CIQ is most likely to blend in with the future LRT terminal like KL Sentral style for the line from Taman University to Masai. Therefore with or without the Causeway bridge, the new CIQ complex with the flyovers to & from it would continue to stand & be put into use !
Any postponment (more likely instead) or permanent abandonment of the Causeway half-bridge or full-bridge project would tend to be Malaysia's 'accommodation' to Singapore more than anything else !!
I have to say Malaysia has always been 'on top of the situation' over Singapore on the bridge & some other issues as well. Overall Malaysia has more potential to 'dictate' to Singapore rather than the other way around ! Singapore is only like some small fut trying to make as much noise as possible to get their preferences met.Originally posted by pisces8:Welcome to “Malaysia bolleh”.

yes, you're right of course, that Malaysia has the right to build a spanking nice CIQ on their side ..... but really, we are trying to save you money ... Singaporeans going to shop, fark, spend money, "contribute" to the inadequate paychecks of the local traffik polis (and get robbed, carjacked, etc ... of course), are quite used to the old, inefficient, jam prone one .... It's very nice of Malaysia to be so considerate of the legions of Singaporeans who contribute to the Johore economy daily, by building this spanking new complex so that we'll be more comfortable (would it be faster ? .... errrmmmm ) .... but really, there's no need to accomodate us that way, you're really too kind ....Originally posted by hseochin:Of course it's Malaysia's right to build a bridge with or without Singapore's 'approval' !!

but of course, it may be more to facilitate the legions of Johoreans who cross over to work IN Singapore daily ... a sign of the state goverment reconciling themselves to the current economic reality ? ....
.... I thank you sincerely for the contributions of your citizens to Singapore's economy though .... -
If it is Malaysia’s right to build the crooked bridge with or without Singapore ‘approval”, then please proceed and be a laughing stock for the next 100 years by the whole world.Originally posted by hseochin:Of course it's Malaysia's right to build a bridge with or without Singapore's 'approval' !!

Why stop now?
Think. Why now blame Singapores’ conditions not being acceptable to the rakyat. Just continue as had claimed and “done” so far! Why stop now? Think.
If Malaysia is 'on top of the situaqtion', don't pay the contractor RM100 million as compensation. Paying compensation is to show Malaysia is 'on top of the situation'? Backing down from oft said it is their right to continue and now stop is to show Malaysia is 'on top of the situation'?
What a joke. -
Citizens’ views influenced decision – “The government had decided not to proceed with the construction of the bridge in Johor to replace the Causeway.
The decision was made after taking into consideration the views and sentiments of the rakyat (citizens), particularly concerning the supply of sand and allowing Singapore to use Malaysia’s airspace. The government also decided to stop all negotiations related to the bridge.”
PRIME MINISTER ABDULLAH BADAWIÂ’S BRIEF STATEMENT
That was what had been said.
There are a lot that has not been said. One of the many that had not been said :
Building of the scenic crooked bridge had lined the pockets of the many politicians and those in charge. Stopping the construction will prevent further drain on the government coffer. This is the majority view of the rakyat.
...please feel free to continue what had not been said... -
ya, basically, singapore hold more arm/man power than malaysia (including NSF, NS man).Originally posted by ^tamago^:

where are all the malaysia's supporters? all suck thumb? where's ATOBE???
i would love to hear ATOBE's views on this issue which was debated 'fiercely' by him. some others are in it too...u know who u r. -
Actually, Malaysia gained because of SG's industrial restructuring... They would and never admit JB developed all from Singapore. See the RM20 rule (Which was initally planned @ RM50, they are now looking at further reducing it), JB biz got worried
What we do are capital intensive industries -

And is that guy still getting money? Thought he has quietly rode off to the sunset? -
*knocks Gordonator's head*Originally posted by Gordonator:don't be suprised when the malaysian government announce that they want to build a tunnel to replace the causeway next.
Basket... can you please don't give them any more funny ideas? -
Their CIQ building is nearly complete, from what I heard. Any bets on what they're gonna turn it into?Originally posted by Croaking_Toad:Is there a new CIQ on johor side already?

As for that Mahathir chap... dunno whether he's getting any money. However, he is riding off into the sunset while making loads of noise. After all, he did call that bridge.... the 'Cynic Bridge'. -
