i heard they r planning to put couples of hightech waterproof 60inches LCD TVs all along the tunnel for traffic jam hour motorists viewing pleasure…
Yeah, after we subscribe to mmd.com (mang mang deng or slow slow wait).
U know, the smart tunnel have several ideas in their mind on how to actually improve their business undertakings. But, having an Monitor down there is jaz brainless. Coz, it will be super expensive, one. two, whenever it floods, not only water will flow. but also anonymous objects such as big wreck trees , 6 foot long keli, or worst, a sofa! All this imagine flowing with such speed and wreck the tunnel.
Not a nice move.
Ai seh, too bad..i cannot hear my “BULL” scream in the tunnel when going back !
Why they didn’t develop 1 full time water tunnel and 1 full time tunnel for cars…so, no need maintenance like this.. kejap bukak..kejap tutup…ape laaa….
errr bro. that means another tunnel that costs another billions.. :)
