  • Lopsided!!! If that's the case, dont even spare the Johor project....people is Johor are not wealthy but we are given such projects at our doorsteps by the people we trust to lead us in thie state. Review everything that's from China and grey in lopsided deals. BTW, are we becoming LAZY by providing everything and anything to the Chinese ?????
