Just stumble upon anilnetto's writings where he mentioned the launching of the longest bridge in the world in China, where at 36km, 6 lane, and 27km over water, but costs only 11.8 billion yuan (RM5.3 billion) compared to our proposed 24 km Penang Second Bridge that costs at least RM4.3 billion, which works out to be much more expansive if you do the calculations. Some of the news regarding the bridge can be found here, here, and here. The first picture below shows the newly opened longest bridge in the world.
While below is the artist's impression of the yet to be completed Penang Second Bridge.
Something smells fishy here, don't you think? Hmm.....
