KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Singapore need"at least three to four more bridges" to facilitate border traffic flow, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Tuesday .
Dr Mahathir claimed that Singapore does not want any more bridges, for a reason that he"does not understand".In his first stint as prime minister, Dr Mahathir had first mooted the idea of a crooked bridge — a six-lane highway that would curve in a way that would allow vessels to pass under it — between Singapore and Johor.
Under the agreement, which expires in 2061, Singapore is entitled to draw up to 250 million gallons a day of water from the Johor River.
