  • On the one hand he says Malaysia must be corruption free but on the other bemoans the fact that investors cannot meet with political figures. Investors dont need to meet politicians to decide on investment but laws that favour it and systems that are not political and run by neutral giver servants with a clear brief. No wonder Malaysia is so far behind Singapore. No need to compare to Indonesia. It was never part of Malaysia. Still investors went to a tiny country rather than Malaysia.

  • He only just discovered that about Indonesia? Under which coconut shell had this 95 year old man been living?

  • He could have done all these if he was still the PM but he is not..so he can only talk and fall on deaf ears.
