Chuck Heath, the senior vice-president (international operations) from Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) pointed out to our government that there was a "total lack of government planning. According to Chuck and Jafza experience, transparency was non-existent and the "Malaysian political and economic landscape has too many vested interests seeking involvement and control in Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project".
Heath also alleged that since the signing of the management agreement, many issues arose, contrary to the spirit of the agreement and the contractual obligations of both parties. Prime Minister Pak Lah admitted that he had a meeting with Jafza officials but that it was held "a long time ago ...".
The original cost of the PKFZ project ballooned from RM2 billion to RM4.6 billion because of, overvalued land costs. What stands on the site are rows of unoccupied buildings, an incomplete four-star hotel and pothole-ridden roads. Documents obtained by theSun revealed that the fallout was because of red tape, political meddling, inaccurate minutes and attempted tax evasions.
Aiya... billion, billion investments, and billion-billion top-up and over-valuation. How can this happen? Are we telling the world that we had blind and deaf government? Or, are we having a government that supports parasitism?

Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves....with an added sting...
The Thieves have taken over the government.
"are we having a government that supports parasitism?"
Hell, no! We are having a government that practises parasitism!
I am trying pin pointing PKFZ from google map. Let see what the 1 year old google map will reveal. (Again, the map info cannot be OSA, because GoogleMap is not host in Malaysia, bwahahahahha)
we're definitely turning into a Philippines... was once a glory country... now a shanty town.
Tell us something we don't know...
JOINED BN TO SERVE THE PUBLIC. Before that, must sit for class on how to screw the public without feeling remorseful.
Hahahaha. Another classic episode. We should have our own version of The West Wing.
Ours will be called "Parliament".
Our government is way more exciting and interesting than the US. I know that The West Wing is a drama series and this would turn out to be more like a comedy but I'm sure it's a ratings winner. Dei! TV3! You better listen if you wanna' get back to the good old days of whooping RTM 1 & 2's ass.
