Calvin, you cannot avoid the fact that the Japanese government has the highest Debt to GDP ratio on earth because they blindly build HSR and airport causing anemic economic growth or basically stagnant for 30 years. What is so good about the Japanese way of doing things? Are you blind of the fact, that their companies are in no competition with the AMerican companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and etc.

Calvin, I have been to USA, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, France, England, Switzerland, Japan, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and etc. And your answer still is not objective. Where you have been got nothing to do with the economic viability of HSR. I don't follow Mahathir blindly. I don't follow anybody blindly. ANd I don't believe in God and Ghost or any other religion. So you better try hard to be more scientific and objective in your rationale.

PLSGiveBonus, Japanese society are a very discriminative society. Japanese even discriminate against Japanese with Chinese or Koreans parents. They reward seniority and loyalty more than meritocracy. Japanese hardly welcome immigration to the country. That is why their population is dwindling and has no growth for the past 30 years.

Japanese way of sacrificing oneself for the country and company has proven to be the loser way of attracting talent and creating world beating companies. It can win in the short run, until the people are so tired working day and night and reaching home at 12 am where the children hardly has any quality time with the dad, that destroys the very social fabric of strong family bond. In the end, Japanese companies has lost out to USA. In USA, individual talents are embraced and celebrated.
Sacrificing oneself for the country, company or religion is a false pride. Silicon Valley wins and they attracted the most progressive, non-religious talent that uses science and technology to bring progress to humankind.
China will soon follows Japan's path to stagflation. As a Chinese, I know Chinese are full of 5000 years of Chinese history pride. It is a false pride. chinese traditional medicine is a hoax. Those shark fins, tiger penis and rhino horn has no scientific evidence or whatsoever to cure any disease.

Flight is more economical than expensive toys for show-off like HSR. Look at USA where flight is cheap and does not need expensive toys like HSR that cost untold environment damage. Don't look at Japan. Japan's companies in the long run has lost out to Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple and many more science and technology companies in USA. Not to mention, that most of the cancer medicine are from USA.

Calvin Tan, some boys like to play with expensive toys. I got a friend who likes to buy expensive car as hobby until Proton is sold to China, then the revenue drop and end up firing many workers. Expensive toys is only a short term gratification and image building. It is only form and not substance. Substance is Silicon valley and cancer medicine from USA. Substance is when Thomas edison invented light bulbs, telephone and electricity that benefit humankind.

Calvin Tan, USA government owe USA money in USD. Basically it is not debt. When you owe yourself money, it is not debt. IN accounting, you called it a debt. But if you don't pay yourself, who the hell is going to go after you? The most important metric is the foreign debts. How much of Malaysia debt is foreign own? That is the most important metric.

The only country that make profit from building HSR is China because of it's big population. In order for HSR to be profitable, you need to carry 100million passenger a year which only countries like China and India can do. Most country in europe lose money after buidling HSR. Try google Italy HSR where the companies already declared bankcrupt and need government bailout.

Not removing GST is the way forward. It is the most progressive tax. More fair and progressive compare to Sales Tax or income tax. Because, now only 10% of the population is paying income tax. It means, the burden of nation building is on the 10%.

Rafizi has one one of the most modern method of doing campaigning by really collecting data on the rural malay sentiments. His company "Invoke" lay the ground work for Mahathir to campaign in the rural area. Without Rafizi's Invoke, Mahathir won't be able to give speech that attracts the rural malays to vote for PH.

People who believe in opposition believes that once opposition wins, they can remove GST and remove all the discrimination policies. This will never happen. GST won't be remove. It is the most progressive tax implemented widely throughout the most advance nation.
They can't remove discrimination policies, because the Malays are not ready to relinquish the Malay's privilege. And ISlam is still their top priority. PKR cannot do that and DAP can't do shit.
