That's tantamount to stealing our feng shui. Singapore shud raise an objection and raise protest to UN.

Potentially Thailand always wants to build a canal there, Spore has to do something to prevent that from happening.

Protesting at the UN is useless, no country respects the UN…the UN asked Israel to cease fire, Israel asked the UN chief to resign.

Did Israel cease fire?

Then we have no choice but to do an Israeli tactic on the Thais by blowing up the canal as soon as it is completed. Our excuse is fighting for the survival of our nation.

100% on?.

Talk only but it is possible that it proceeds in coming years.

It takes about 12 hours to lift a bunch of container off a large ship, 12 hours to move it by train to the opposite coast and 12 hours for a ship to dock and load a bunch of containers. At best. There is no time savings compared to sailing past Singapore.

Looks like ah long gotta to stay on to tackle this problem. Ah cai not enough experience

At most it may serve as an alternative route in case the U.S. blocks Chinese shipping routes at Malacca Straits.

Seriously if US blocks the Malacca straits from China, I believe the Thais will also close the Kra canal to the Chinese as the Thais have been a US dog all the time.    

[klat]

Actually Thailand dreamt for many nights and thinks that the length of the canal is the size of  A4 paper. The Thais only look on paper the length of the canal to dig but they never look at the scale of the map involved.

Good point.

[sgh]

I read the news it is a land bridge correct? This mean ship need to unload the container put onto truck and go over the land bridge to reach the other side? Then the other side need to load the container on another ship to move on to next destination? While this may look like taking much more time then sailing down Malacca Straits round Spore and up, we cannot assume the Thai or China cannot find a new way to quickly unload, put onto truck go over and load back to ship. The fact that Thai and China decide to proceed with the plan means they most likely have thought out of that "perceived" longer time. Spore cannot be complacent like it won't threaten our harbor business.

They can do something like this to save time…however it is not practical to engage two ships, one uploads at left entrance and the other waiting at right exit…it means the shipping cost will be doubled plus the cost of shifting cargoes from left to right.

Just make it happen in 3 years.

Malaysia already got one.
Port near kelantan then by rail to port Klang.

Just make it happen in 3 years.

Impossible to be built in 3-5 years as around 25km of the proposed 90km land "bridge" will be through hilly regions on the west coast, so tunneling will be needed.
Worse will be if the hills are granite hills which will slow down tunnel boring even further.


Blue - Elevated railway tracks / bridges
Red - Tunnels
Yellow - "Ground" level at around 50-60m above sea level

Even if jialat we're the ones who kenna. No impact to LHL at all.

Impact to Spore should be minimal imo as only containers from or to Indo China (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Southwest China) will find this route attractive.
For mega container ships, it will be too time consuming to unload and reload the containers at the 2 seaports that connect the land bridge.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Better dun be too quailan, as land bridge not so efficient and the impact is minimal

If quailan, duno what will they think of besides a canal

[Migrant]

Building railway is not so difficult.
But to build two deep seaport is not feasible.
To dream... The almost impossible dream...

Yes cannot trust YT story on canal, another thing that often overlook is
https://i0.wp.com/www.defencexp.com/wp-c...=768%2C778&ssl=1

Tiong govt likely already has other emergency routes.

Also My already offered a land bridge earlier, 
Thai will need to increase efficiency to compete to My, Sg and perhaps Batam. Within twenty years Sg should still
hold the lead.
What is important we make this region peaceful.
