当年前首相马哈迪医生退位前决定实行一条全新的新马大桥。由于新加坡方面不愿意建立一座直桥，所以这座大桥的结构是弯曲的，引起很大的争议。在前首相马哈迪医生的坚持下，这座新马大桥计划决定实施。
可是前首相马哈迪医生退位后，现任首相阿都拉上位不久就把这项计划取消，并赔了不下十亿马币。为什么首相阿都拉会取消建设这座大桥的计划呢？前首相马哈迪医生在今天贴了一篇blog post指证首相阿都拉浪费公款，并说出弯桥的内幕：
To cut a long story short work on the curved bridge was stopped so that Dato Seri Abdullah’s Government could offer to sell 1 billion cubic metres of sand, and overflight rights for Singapore military aircraft over Johor Baru if Singapore agreed to a straight bridge.
Someone stood to make a lot of money selling 50 million cubic metres of sand per year for 20 years to Singapore for land reclamation. This was a very attractive offer as the reclaimed land can sell for 3,000-5,000 Singapore dollars (about RM6,000-RM10,000) per square metre. The Singapore Government stood to make an enormous amount of money selling this land. They therefore agreed to the straight bridge.
That dredging sand from the seabed would cause erosion of the coast, destruction of fish breeding grounds and deprive Johore fishermen of their livelihood were not of concern to the Government of Dato Seri Abdullah.
Fortunately the Johor people misbehaved. They objected to selling sand and overflights.
Abdullah frustrated that his scheme was blocked then punished the Johore people by cancelling the bridge project altogether. No straight bridge, no curve bridge either.
—— Dr Mahathir Mohamad: Cancellation of bridge to Singapore
他说当初首相阿都拉停止了弯桥的计划是为了开出卖十亿立方米的泥沙给新加坡以及让新加坡军机在大马新山上空有飞行权的条件以便新加坡政府同意简直直桥。新加坡政府同意这项提议，可是柔佛州的民众坚决反对首相阿都拉做出的提议。首相阿都拉为了报复柔佛州人民，所以决定把所有建桥计划取消。

马来西亚前首相Dr. Mahathir Mohamad终于也写blog了。
目前前首相只写了一篇文章，质问现任首相对法官的任命流程。
或许你会质疑为何网址的名字是Che Det，Che Det到底是不是前首相本人呢？Che Det其实是前首相投稿时用的笔名。
前首相敦马哈迪医生是我很崇拜的一个人物。他或许不是个好人，不过他绝对是个有能力的人。

首相阿都拉对前首相顿马哈迪做出了一些回应，并抨击了马哈迪。
首相阿都拉酸酸地说：“His son also had a contract. It’s just that it was not revealed and the project his son got was bigger than the one Scomi got.”
首相阿都拉又说：“ Tun himself had said before that if the Prime Minister did not want to give explanations, he could ask the other ministers to do so on his behalf. So, I took his advice and allowed other ministers to give the necessary explanations.”这让我想起很多很多位部长着这两年将的话，是不是首相阿都拉的意思呢？例如在英国建运动场的，例如上太空的，例如媒体不对的，例如人民该改变生活习惯的，例如不可以叫他伯拉的，例如首相是对的，例如正确使用国语（马来文）的，例如叫blogger要小心的，例如自来水起价的，etc……
首相阿都拉又说：“I felt sad because people who came to my Hari Raya open house were still talking about the matter. I felt disappointed and sad.”首相嘛，一国之首，这种问题难以避免的，没有假期的，开斋节您仍然还是我们敬爱的首相。
首相阿都拉又说：“I felt sad about it because he had told me all that he had wanted to say. I needed time to respond. But, he repeated (the attacks) again with stronger doses of venom. What more can I do? Allahualam, he still wants to continue.”政治人物嘛，说话不能相信的。领导人嘛，反应要快一点的，不然国家面对crisis是怎么办？
Q: What are your views on the Sultan of Johor’s statement that Dr Mahathir should behave like a pensioner and stop making noise?
A: The Sultan’s comment reflects the people’s opinion. Many people have said so. When people greet me, they urge me to carry on. They say I still have time. They say I should not feel disappointed. We support you, Pak Lah. We know you are new. The 9th Malaysia Plan is still new. Tun said it has been two years, but it is only seven months old. He said it has been two years. It is incorrect.
我敬爱的首相，不管我怎么敬爱您，你这句话就不对了。我深为一个敢说真话的人，我要告诉你说苏丹不知道人间疾苦的。他很恨顿马哈迪的，因为就是某州的苏丹谋杀一位小孩，那时候顿马哈迪还是首相的时候，就impose了一个法律说，天子犯法与庶民同罪。如果你真觉得一位SULTAN能代表人民的声音的话，我真的对您很失望，原来您听来的真话都是从贵族成员那里听来的。
Q: What have you to say about the two Cabinet ministers who went to Tun’s Hari Raya open house?
A: It is all right. It’s to establish friendship, which reflects the Hari Raya spirit. It is common. So, it is not right to say that we should not go. If you do not want to go, it is another matter altogether. But if we want to prohibit, then that’s not right. If you want to go, go ahead.
看了很多电影与tv series的我，是这样子翻译的：“It’s all right, you want to go, go ahead, don’t come back anymore.”
首相阿都拉为巫统选举事件说：“The decision was clear. Let there be an option. The option is for me to decide.”中文是不是有一句成语叫做“一人当政”的啊？那算不算一个成语？
如果不知道马来西亚首相阿都拉最厉害的是什么，看这句：“Everything is possible, and everything is also impossible.”就是卖关子。首相除了会将这句，还会说类似“目前没有灵感”或者“交由上苍决定”之类的话。
Q: When do you plan to give further explanations?
A: Let us find a better way to explain.
我想到了一个字：“捉！”
首相阿都拉总结说：“ Whatever laws that are applied have been passed by Parliament. We do have the police but not a private police. Our police are ruled by a government that is chosen by the rakyat.”(Rakyat在马来文是指人民）我发现到首相没有正确使用国语，是不是该罚款呢？警察由政府管制，政府原本是三体变一体，可是政府是人民管的吗？
