It is the first Singapore traffic sign as you leave Malaysia. There <br/>
is actaully a welcome sign on this side of the bridge if you know <br/>
where to look. Near the flag pole at the immigration building, a sign <br/>
from the traffic police sign says &quot;Singapore welcomes safe drivers&quot; <br/>
or something to that effect.<br/>

this & your following comments are a good jest &or a puzzlement<br/>
<br/>
but i am very curious to know<br/>
<br/>
do you mean to indicate that the idmy boundary shown in part here in <br/>
the selat johor is somehow less definite as a whole than the idsy <br/>
maritime boundary also shown here in the singapore strait & indicated <br/>
as agreed upon<br/>

<br/>
<br/>
& in any case questions have arisen about the correct positions of <br/>
the idmysg tricountry points <br/>
east & west<br/>
last heard from in message 11124<br/>
<br/>
so can you offer any current resident expert opinion especially about <br/>
these too<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I presume that with the causeway, one can&#39;t be too careful. There <br/>
appears to be a willingness to let the border be &quot;undefined&quot; (I use <br/>
the word loosely here) as far as the bridge is concern so as to avoid <br/>
further disagreements.</div>
