The Crooked Strikes Back
Its been very difficult finding time to tell people about this blog let alone consistently updating it.
Well, I am going to start all over again. You may ask why now. It is because Tun Mahathir, the Mega Billion Hallucinator is back. I was fuming mad with some of his distorted cum irresponsible statements lately.
I have wanted to write about the new JB CIQ at Bukit Chagar for quite a while now, but never able to find time. I guess Tun Mahathir really pushed this kaki tambak over the edge now.
Tun Mahathir was quoted as saying, the reason for massive traffic jams at Bkt Chagar was due to the misfit between the new CIQ and old causeway. Plainly speaking, he just want the crooked bridge to be built.
He is back to his demented egoistic self again and he doesn't give a crap to :
(1)whether the new CIQ or proposed bridge will solve the traffic jams and alleaviate the sufferings of the kaki tambak community?
(2)or have the new CIQ spur business activities in a whole(other than City Square which is owned by Singapore Capital Land)?
(3)Will the crooked bridge be the final touch of JB mystical economic Utopia that he envisioned?
For question (1), I believe any kaki tambak is more qualified to explained the causeways deadlock than Tun Mahathir. Have Tun or his UMNO Johor bigots, ever struggle daily like us kaki tambak at warzone 1 (old causeway) or warzone 2(2nd link).
Who are they to tell us, what JB really needs.
That is it for now. Please visit this blog again. I will follow up with a later post on terrible wrongs that Mahathir concocted for JB.

Very well said, and I can't agree more as a Johorean. Bury the crooked bridge idea for good!
I have a blog post on this too.
May I also take this opportunity to welcome you back to the blogosphere.
The idea of Tambak Johor blog actually fills in the gap (or niche?) that has been desperately missing for a long time. Whenever I look at the thousands and thousands of Malaysians crossing the Causeway 'cari makan', many thoughts come through my mind. Whenever I see the many motorists queueing up during my 6am jogging session along the Johor straits, I can't help thinking about the deep issues of Malaysia that need addressing.
Keep it up. Tambak Johor can certainly help to bring out the many issues and emotion of these anak-anak bangsa Malaysia having to commute more than 4 hours every day, risking their health and life.
I have made a quick intro of Tambak Johor on AirKosong.com.
At least have a straight bridgenot crooked. The main caused traffic congestion because both country have very slow immigration process. If both have new solution on immigration process, the heavy congestion will not available.

I agree totally.
The only beneficiary of proposed crooked bridge is Gerbang Perdana, a hastily cooked up vehicle entrusted for the new CIQ and crooked bridge.
But a new solution on immigration process requires political will which is lacking from both governments.
