KUALA LUMPUR: Friendship, love and marriage are not words typically associated with the Causeway, a vital piece of infrastructure that links Singapore and Malaysia’s southern Johor state, and which celebrates its centenary in 2024.

More often than not, the word “Causeway” evokes visions of massive crowds, tedious bumper-to-bumper traffic, and long queues of people headed to and from Johor Bahru city and the Republic to work, shop and eat.
