the unfinished crooked bridge

they are putting the finishing touches to the soon-to-be opened customs, immigration and quarantine complex in johor bahru but there is one section that has been left hanging... the aborted crooked bridge.

the section in the above picture would have been the beginning of the scenic or crooked bridge had construction not been halted by mr abdullah badawi's government.

where do you go to get a good view of the aborted bridge? this well-patronised coffee shop along jalan kuda lumba in johor bahru. this coffee shop has three equally popular stalls selling braised duck, laksa and beef noodles.
