This transnational highway will really benefit the 2 neighboring countries. It will bridge their people and their cultures. These will also provide a chance for those who have not crossed the other country to see the sights and hear the sounds of another place.
who will pay for the f*cking highway with low traffic flow? And who is going to pay the MAINTENANCE afterwards.
And the highway will not increase East Malaysian living standard. And not to forget Sabah still the poorest state in the country.
I think building this highway is good, East Malaysia needs a highway similar to that of PLUS highway in the Peninsula. I want to travel from KK to Bandar Seri Begawan and then Kuching by car at 110 km/h...
Furthermore the highway facilitates further economic growth in Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei in form of increased freight trucks maybe...
