(The Star) - Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he will not influence the Government to revisit the crooked bridge project.
However, he said, he still hoped the bridge would be realised to overcome the congestion at the Johor Causeway.
“Although I believe there are no reasons why the project cannot proceed, the decision is not mine,” he said in Subang Jaya yesterday.
Dr Mahathir said that when the Johor Causeway was built, there was probably only a car for every 1,000 population.
“Now we have 10 million cars for a population of 27 million.
“That is to say for every 2.7 person there is a car. So the traffic problem is getting more and more serious.
“If we don’t have proper facilities we will face congestion that is far worse,” Dr Mahathir said.
