Sultan of Johor doesn’t understand network economics, should STFU

According to CNA, the Sultan of Johor says:

And for the economic region to develop and grow, the Sultan of Johor has suggested demolishing the Causeway linking Johor and Singapore.

He said that without the Causeway, the Johor economy would prosper.

I don’t understand why the opinions of people who live within the pinnacle of privilege in society AND who have no idea what they are talking about should have any weight at all.

    I suspect what he meant is that by freeing the water flow at the Johore Straits, the 2 or 3 ports around Johore can leverage on the straits to increase their traffic and make it more attractive for shippers to bypass Singapore and stop at their ports instead and go thru the straits to the other parts of the world.

    btw, nice theme.

    Hi!

    Im a libertarian from Germany and will be in Singapore for a couple of days in two weeks. Congratulate for the blogging page, your page was the first I found by typing “Singapore” and “Libertarian” into google. I would be very pleased if you send me a mail, so we can discuss some libertarian topics ;-).

    Kindly regards

    Kai
