I am relieved that the Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi has scrapped the bridge project. I certainly do not think it is a cave-in. It took alot of courage to come to a hard decision like this. I also admire the Prime Minister for listening to his people. Although they may not know the full story, it still shows that he is concerned about his people's views.
The Prime Minster also considered the pros and cons carefully knowing that it is an expensive project and relationships with Singapore will be hurt. Even if the bridge is built, there are many conditions imposed by Singapore thus I personally do not think there will be much benefits for Malaysia. The conflict between Malaysia and Singapore is seriously not needed since we are located so close to each other. Therefore the decision was a careful one as it involved many considerations.
