LANGKAWI: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is against the proposed Langkawi bridge project as it will erode the island’s unique features. “Langkawi must remain as an island and 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 on Saturday 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 for the project which included a monorail bridge. On another note, Dr Mahathir said he was disappointed that Muslims had become enemies just because they had different views. This, he cautioned, could result in Muslims losing power in their own land.
