...there was once a crooked man who....

Remember this very famous quote by the ex-premier the Tun ?
“I just don't think I should be around interfering with things.”
Well...what do you think of this, then huh ? ( here ) Not interfering....then what ?

What or when will it dawn on him that his 22 years old over-stayed "shelf-life" has expired long ago ? Opps...I forget he's got selective and temporary amnesia. At his age you got to forgive the old man, cos he still thinks he's relevant and it's 1988. Sad isn't it ?

His repeated requests to his successor Pak Lah and now Najib to make that "crooked" bridge is his "revenge" to make Singapore's Keppel Harbour less popular and irrelevant in the international shipping arena, thus crippling the little red dot's immense shipping trade value but was he not also the one who coined the "prosper thy neighbour" phrase ? But both Pak Lah and Najib would not hear of it. Najib is desperately doing "damage-control" and mending bilateral ties with our little neighbour for the strained relationship caused by this bitter old ex-premier.

Hmmm...just wondering who, when and what spooked his fetish for crooked bridges ? Otherwise we'd have more then a few in Putrajaya by now, yes ? Perhaps it must be the other old and "interfering" mentor south of the border, maybe ?

This must be the Tun's biggest regret and sigh.....if only he had stayed on for another say 20 years or so....we'd have a crooked bridge over every river in Malaysia !
