Scenic Bridge

I've just read this review from Mr. Orange's site. As a Malaysian, yes it's true that we shouldn't fulfill Singapore's blasphemous requests for sand and use of our airspace as trade-offs. But think about it, building that "stylo" bridge doesn't bring any benefit yet causing the loss of more money.

Why would I say so? USE YOUR FRIGGIN COMMON SENSE LA! We were forced to learn maths in school and yet we're not applying it. A straight road is always better than a crooked one. Once again, why? Because when we walk on a straight road, we burn up less fats and by implying Vectors(physics), it'll be a shorter route. End of story. But no, we prefer to do things the long way, just like beating around the bushes. This time we're not burning fats, but petrol. Can't you see the total journey is being multiplied by 2?! By this rate, our petroleum will be over-extracted soon. Many will say:"Petrol is nothing but giving them sand and airspace is definitely a "no no"". What Patrick will tell them:" Eh, you siao ar! You think you're the only driver who uses that bridge ar! You think only one car along that stretch ar! Yala, one car is nothing cuz you're probably burning an extra of RM5 of petrol. But once again, I assume that bridge can fit 100 cars at minimum on every hour. So, I'll work out the equation for you. RM 5 X 100 carsX 24 hours = RM12,000. WOW! We rather waste RM 12,000 a day than letting them have sand and airspace. That's way cool man!" A typical egoistic Malaysian would prefer to stay cool and go on with the project. Besides, I've not calculate the cost of building the bridge. Cuz this time we're building a longer one. It's like building 2 causeways! How much will it cost for a bag of sand? I've once went shopping for sand with my mom. You can get 4 bags of sand for RM10. Maths again, we can sell them 4800 bags of sand for RM 12,000.

On the other hand, the airspace issue. If not mistaken, Singapore wants to use our airspace because Changi Airport is too small to accomodate the heavy traffic while Malaysian airspace is too sparse that our fellow citizens are allowed to fly kites! Bah.. Imagine this, a big restaurant is located next to a smaller one. But the food in the smaller restaurant is way much better than the big restaurant. Many people hang out in the small restaurant till tables and chairs have to be placed out to the road. Meanwhile, workers in the big restaurant are playing hide and seek. Hows that? Com'on la! You scare Singapore sends spy planes to spy on us meh! Spy on what? The technology of converting cow dungs into fertilizer? Or to check whether we're trying to choke their fellow citizens with excessive chlorine?



In my opinion, a negotiation have to be made. How can this be worked out?

1. Singapore agrees to divert their heavy traffics(aircrafts) to KLIA.
2. Sand will be sold to them. But not giving them for free.
3. The using of Malaysian airspace is allowed provided not crossing certain restricted areas.
4. The building of a "straighter" bridge will cut down the cost for both sides as well as the heavy traffic on the current one.

Both leaders should tolerate on one's request to find out the best solution. Instead of showing that since-you-don't-approve-to-build-a-direct-linked-bridge-then-I'll-build-a-lenghty-one attitude. Live harmoniously! Co-operate!
