move the article to Malaysia-Singapore Second Link Expressway? It would better reflect the bridge since in Malaysia, it's not known as Tuas Second Link. Tuas reflects a Singapore-centric name. __earth ( Talk) 06:05, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I am beginning to wonder if this article is on an expressway in Malaysia, or the link between Malaysia and Singapore? It appears to increasingly take on facets of the former dispite the article name.-- Huaiwei 13:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Looks like the issue has come up again. The last time that happened, I was removing the "Expressway in Malaysia" category off this page. __earth ( Talk) 08:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that we should split the article. The Malaysian part of the bridge (the most of the bridge) is part of the Linkedua Expressway. The Singaporean side of the bridge is very short - once you enter Singapore (you'll know it when a "Welcome to Singapore" LED greets you and the road colour changes from light grey to black) the Tuas checkpoint is just in front of you (since it is built on reclaimed land). Joshua Chiew 12:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I have to admit that you got your point. The bridge was built jointly by the two countries, not only by Malaysia. It would be better to split the article, but is there any info you can add about the bridge? Perhaps a few photos of the bridge and the CIQ complex of the two countries, etc. Joshua Chiew 01:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Although the above is referenced (conviently without a link) and well written it seems very dubious to me. What idiot would carry out illegal racing on the second link? It's not as if it's particularly long or you can get away from the police. It's a bridge for godsake and there are immigration and customs checkpoints at either end so you're likely to get shot at if you start doing stupid things. Secondly 100k people arrested? That's one of the dumbest claims I've ever heard. Nil Einne 13:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
