Have you ever wondered how to get from Singapore to Malaysia? You’re standing right in front of the Woodlands Causeway. For decades, this bridge has been the link across the Straits of Johor. It connects Singapore to Johor Bahru, Malaysia’s second largest city. If you look closely, you will see the railway tracks running alongside the road. This is the only land connection between the two countries. In the 1920s, the British built the original bridge to transport goods. They wanted to connect Malaya’s tin, rubber, and pepper to Singapore’s bustling port and ship them across the world. Today, the Causeway is one of the busiest border crossings in the world. Every day, thousands of people cross it. Some work in Singapore, cross the bridge when it’s open, and go back home at night. The Causeway buzzes with constant activity. From the 1940s on, the Causeway became the symbolic link between Singapore and Malaya. It’s a constant reminder of a shared history. The Causeway makes you understand that borders may be political, but the connection between Singapore and Malaysia is real and deep. The bridge is a symbol of this.
