Tun Mahathir against Langkawi Bridge project

LANGKAWI: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is against the proposed Langkawi bridge project saying that it will erode the island's unique features.
"Langkawi must remain an island and is unsuitable to be turned into a land mass," he told reporters after presenting chocolates and cash to 120 orphans and special children at Masjid Istiqamah in Kuala Teriang here Sunday night.
Two companies based in Perlis had proposed building a 48km bridge linking Langkawi to Kuala Perlis on the mainland.
Juruelit Sdn Bhd executive chairman Kamarudin Husin said on Friday the company had enough funds to build the project that includes a monorail bridge.
On another note, Tun Mahathir said he was disappointed that Muslims had become enemies just because they had different views.
He added as fellow Muslims they should not turn bitter enemies as it would divide and weaken them.
The former premier cautioned that this could result in Muslims losing power in their own land.
Tun Mahathir and wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali later joined 500 Muslims for buka puasa, maghrib, isyak dan tarawih prayers. - Bernama

tunku : i am sure that not Tun Mahathir alone is against it, majority of the people against this idea too especially the people of Langkawi.Langkawi will lose its charm if a bridge is build to link it to mainland.there will be to many vehicles in Langkawi which will bring serious pollution to the island.we hope that Juruelit Sdn Bhd which claimed has enough fund should build a bridge to replace the Johor causeway.it will be cheaper instead.do not pollute Langkawi,please.

kesan terbinanya jambatan keLangkawi:
1.Orang langkawi akan jual tanah kepada taukeh Cina ,dan akhirnya cina akan kuasai tanah-tanah diLangkawi.
2.Langkawi akan jadi Pulau yang dipenuhi oleh sampah.
3.Orang melayu langkawi akan berhijrah ke Perlis atau ke Kedah.Bangsa Cina akan kuasai Langkawi.Langkawi akan jadi maju tetapi kaum melayu akan jadi bangsat di Pulau Pinang.Semua perniagaan akan diambil alih oleh kaum Cina ,India dan pendatang asing.
4.Akhirnya Langkawi akan jadi seperti PULAU PINANG.Tak Cina hilang diDunia tetapi Melayu hilang di Pulau Pinang dan Langkawi jika salah perhitungan.
+++kalu nak buat Jambatan buatlah di Johjor yang menghubungkan Singapura dengan Johor..kenapa nak hancurkan Melayu Langkawi?SAYA SOKONG TUN DR MAHATHIR.
