Many people believe the most frequently washed body part was the hands. It is not, in fact it is the BRAINS! Checked how much KOOL AID you have been drinking lately?

It might come as a surprise to many that SCMP, like segments of HK society, has been infiltrated by American/CIA propagandists to undermine and contain China.

The wise man is one who knows what he does not know. The further one goes, the less one knows. Those who truly know do not speak. Those who speak do not know. The problem with the world is fools are so certain of themselves while the wise are full of doubts. You guys can carry on talking.

calvin,
Your bullish position has come tumbling down on you, eh. Your opinion on this is so skewed. First of all, both Japan and China are creditor nations with high population density. We are up to our ears in debt. Secondly, the amount of leakage was relatively low in those countries compared to Malaysia. All those companies whose shares you bought are nothing more than rent seeking cronies. Large tracts of land destined to be built into stations were bought ahead by insiders (cronies, no doubt) looking for a big payday when the project starts.
Indeed, one day we may need the HSR but it is so far in the future that the interests on the borrowings would have buried the nation way before then.
Sorry about your portfolio. Another day, perhaps?
