Talk:Malaysia–Singapore Second Link

message: * Hey, the aticle says this in it's first paragraph:"The twin-deck bridge supports a dual-three lane carriageway linking Kampong Ladang at Tanjung Kupang, Johor to Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim at Tuas, Singapore. The total length of the bridge over water is 1,920 m."I don't think the Second Link is a twin deck bridge now is it? Certainly dosen't seem so from this pic:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Malaysia-Singapore_Second_Link_Linkedua.jpg--Pavithran 13:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you know what it is known as in Malaysia? I agreed a renaming is necessary. How about Johor-Tuas Second Link Bridge? I'm hoping to at least include "Tuas" in the name to facilitate searching and recognition. --Vsion 06:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's commonly known as the second link in Malaysia but wouldn't be too descriptive. I think Malaysia-Singpore Second Link would suffice. The project official website calls it Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing instead of Second Link though. . I think it would be better for us to use its official name as stated in the website. __earth (Talk) 07:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Malaysia-Singapore Second Link looks good to me. --Vsion 08:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good to me too. Let's move it? __earth (Talk) 04:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, (preemptively) :D. I'm not sure about the expressway at Johor side, please check my rewording. Also on Singapore side, the official name is Tuas Second Link, so this name needs to be highlighted in bold. --Vsion 06:33, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Twin Deck?

message: :On 12 July 2006, the Second Link became as a place to illegal racing. The Johor police and the Road Transport Department with the highway operator PLUS Expressway has launched the big operations to crackdown against illegal racing. More than 100,000 people were arrested in this operations."Swoop on illegal racers", Lau Meisan, 10 July 2006, New Straits Times
Although the above is referenced (conviently without a link) and well written it seems very dubious to me. What idiot would carry out illegal racing on the second link? It's not as if it's particularly long or you can get away from the police. It's a bridge for godsake and there are immigration and customs checkpoints at either end so you're likely to get shot at if you start doing stupid things. Secondly 100k people arrested? That's one of the dumbest claims I've ever heard. Nil Einne 13:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As it turns out, the above was partially true. It wasn't the actual bridge but on an accessroad or the expressway. However it obviously wasn't 100k people. Appears to have been 600 people . Anyway it was mentioned in the Second Link Expressway article so I've changed the figure Nil Einne 13:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
