Latest TODAY column: Half bridge over troubled waters
Excerpt:
I HEAR that talks are still underway between Singapore and Malaysia regarding the building of a new bridge to replace the Causeway.
In fact, if Malaysia proceeds and Singapore does not, the impression out there is that we may have either an incomplete bridge or one that is crooked.
Singaporeans are rightly concerned about it because here, we like things straight.
Half a bridge is enough to make any country sian jit pua (literally "bored by half" — Hokkien for very dissatisfied).
