Berbanggalah kita dengan seorang perdana menteri yang bernama Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, di zaman pemerintahan beliau sebagai PM terlalu banyak kejayaan yang berjaya diukir untuk tatapan kita dan anak cucu kita pada masa akan datang.

Terbaru, kerajaan terpaksa membayar RM 292.5 kepada pemaju yang terlibat dalam pembatalan jambatan indah.

Saya akan ulas dengan lebih panjang lebar nanti.

Saya bimbang, Tun Dr Mahathir akan dimasukkan semula ke IJN kerana terkejut dengan keputusan ini hasil daripada seorang pemimpin yang sederhana berprinsipkan 10 rukun Islam Hadhari.

Malaysia BOLEH!!!

RM300 mil payout to 'crooked bridge' developer
Oct 24, 07 12:24pm

The government will pay RM292.5 million in compensation to a developer over last year's cancellation of a controversial "crooked bridge" to Singapore.
After years of bitter negotiations, Malaysia ditched plans to build the bridge to replace an ageing causeway linking Johor with Singapore in April 2006.
It said the city-state's demands for air space access and sand for reclamation projects in return for its agreement were unacceptable.

Developer Gerbang Perdana will be paid RM237.5 million for the abrupt axing of the project and RM55 million for work already done, a Finance Ministry official said.

"We have yet to decide on when exactly the payment for the compensation will be made but we will announce full details of the plan very soon," said the official, who declined to be named.Earlier it was estimated that the preliminary works done was RM170 million while the compensation to Gerbang Perdana would amount to RM100 million [see chart]. It is not clear why alterations were made to these estimates.

Initially valued at RM1.1 billion

He said that Finance Ministry parliamentary secretary Hilmi Yahya told Parliament today that the ministry and Gerbang Perdana had reached an amicable agreement over the project, initially valued at RM1.12 billion.

Construction of the bridge has been among a number of unresolved bilateral issues that Singapore and Malaysia have squabbled over for years.

Malaysia had threatened to proceed with building its half of the bridge - an unusual construction that came to be known as the "crooked bridge" - but Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi eventually backed down.

Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, who launched the bridge initiative in 1996 during his tenure, was infuriated by the move and accused his successor of caving in to Singapore.- AFP
