“Our two peoples have grown increasingly apart since Separation, and successive generations will find each other more unfamiliar.” “I favour closer and stronger links between Malaysia and Singapore, both physical and political. We are neighbours, and forever will be.”reports that Dr Mahathir’s had said on Tuesday, March 19, at a question-and-answer portion during the Invest Malaysia 2019 event, that at least three to four bridges between the two countries are needed to ensure smooth traffic flow. But he added that Singapore is not in favor of building additional bridges.
