Mahathir is anti-Singapore. It started when he was a medical student in SG. He had directed a Chinese taxi driver to take him to the home of a friend but was taken to the servants’ quarter of the friend’s house. He felt insulted and racially
He still blames the Tengku for allowing SG to become an independent nation. He would like to see SG fail to make it and return to the fold of Malaysia again. His strategy against SG is simple. Isolate and by-pass it.this in mind, people will understand and can even predict his decisions correctly.
When he was PM from 1981-2003, he gave a lot of problems to SG.
Water agreement, railway land, replacing causeway with bridge.
Why does he want to replace the causeway with a bridge? He wants the sea traffic to by-pass Singapore. With the causeway gone, sea traffic can cut across the Straits of Johor to the Far East, by-passing Singapore.
