Dr Wee: Dr Ahmad Zahid cannot make unilateral decisions on behalf of Barisan.

KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed “crooked bridge” by Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Osman Sapian is merely a suggestion to please Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, as it has been the dream of the prime minister to replace the Johor-Singapore causeway, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Dr Wee, a former cabinet minister, said that no prior studies were done by the Works Department (JKR) on the cost of building the controversial “crooked bridge”, and pointed out that it could lead to larger leakages in government funds.
