BRAVE TURKEY - UNDERGROUND RAIL AND LIFE

Brave new Turkey under Erdogan.

Bridge at Istanbul linking European (left) and Asian parts of Turkey.

13.6km Marmaray rail tunnel built  across the Bosphorus with a 1.4km underwater immerse-tube placed 55m deep on the seabed. Compared to Malaysia we are but minnows and wimps who cannot even build our half-way bridge over the Straits of Johore! Dolah, Najib and all cannot see beyond their nose bridges. All they know is to lay waste and let the rakyat pay.
