Tg Piai

This topic was prompted from a email i received from a friend through the ContactMe page on this site. Thanks Devan for the idea, you got my brain ticking and here you have it! (If you have a topic you want me to look at, pls drop me a mail and ill get to it as soon as i can!)

A little back ground on this topic ,the email sent to me was as follows ->

Devan Said ;

“Tg. Piai located in Johor have been known to be the southernmost point of continent Asia, which means you can literally walk all the way from Tg.Piai, Johor right up to Russia, Europe, middle East and Africa. the thing is if you look at the brochure of discover Singapore, they claim Sentosa island to be the southernmost tip of Asia. They maybe be right as they are linked and they too can walk over using the causeway or 2nd link. so this is one more reason why Malaysia should get rid of the bridges!!!Your thoughts!!”

So i toke out my world map,courtesy of Google and to my delight Tg Piai is the southernmost point of continent Asia. What does this mean?? It means if you were to walk from Tg Piai to the north, you can effectively walk to China,Russia,Middle East and Africa!

That’s a large map showing that as long as your in Malaysia, you have access to all the mentioned continents by foot! The brochures raving about Sentosa island being the south most point to the continent has got to be absolute rubbish unless the we are mysteriously being connected by the dead whale lying between Malaysia and Singapore which they Singaporeans have claimed to be theirs

Like Devan has rightly said, we should probably remove the linking bridges and cut the water supply and watch the show eh?

Sorry to dash your hopes and dreams my dear Singaporean brother’s and sister’s ,Sentosa island is not the South most point.Its just another marketing gimmick(or that dude just didn’t have access to a map) to make you feel proud to be Singaporean!
