No golf story today...but maybe some "cerita basi". About Malaysian politic...one day you're friend, another day you can become enemies.
Background;
Malaysia needs another bridge. A bridge that will link two countries; Malaysia and Singapore. A bridge that will allow ships to pass through; therefore; the couseway ;"Tambak Johor" would have to be demolished; and with that our port; Tanjung Pelepas ; would be the main port for all ships within the region; which will probably kill the "largest and biggest and the most profitable" port in the whole wide world; the PSA Singapore Terminal. Project was mooted and visualized during the ERA of the previous Prime Minister; the great Tun M.
"Apa Nama? Singapore tak nak a "straight bridge"? Takpa, kita bole buat bridge tu crooked; kah;kah; padan muka dia orang"
So the story goes; The new PM; Pak Lah inherited the project.
"Apasal la aku kena inherit this scenic bridge project? Tak masuk akai; takpa kita pangge dia scenic" instead of crooked; baru ada ngancam..."
The Singapore Government retaliated ;
" You wanna build the bridge; ok; we are a kiasu government; so if you wanna do that; gives us your airspace; for our airforce to train; and sell us your sand; so that we can make Singapore bigger...walla weh...so how, agree or not?"
" So how?" Pak Lah asked.
"We asked the people of Malaysia la"
Three weeks later; the project was scrapped. Tun M was really pissed-off.
"I think this is a...... country with no guts!!!!" " The Government is half past six with no guts!!!!"
Now, it has become interesting...
Dato' Mukriz Mahathir; the son of Tun Mahathir; and an UMNO Youth Executive Council member; urged the government to re-open and continue to negotiate with Singapore . Even if the matter had to be brought before the International Court of Justice.
KJ; the chosen one; UMNO Youth Deputy President and Pak Lah Son-in-law;
"There is no room in Umno Youth for leaders to make statements contrary to decisions taken by its executive council," in other words " Yo!!!! ko jangan nak kaco bapak mertua aku la; bapak lu punyer time suda habis; lu and bapak lu duduk diam2 aje la.."
Not just KJ, Chief pun tunjuk garang gak;
"You can give your criticisms. When you go beyond that – sending out letters to MPs and division heads – that is tantamount to undermining the Government leadership. I take full responsibility for what I had said "
“If Tun responds, I will respond back. We will see who gets tired.”
Finally, the response from Pak Lah; " Saya tak nak campur ini hal...ni soal remeh temeh, saya nak gi Caribbean and USA la, cari bizness for Malaysia BOLE!!!!" ...ahak
So the story goes... better get some inside story from Dato' SK. He, he, ....
