Just my layman's points of views and on without prejudice basis. Equal partners should be worked in reference to the terms and conditions as outlined in the MA 1963 Agreement. MA 1963 Agreement formed the basis for forming Malaysia and so is the federation. Equal partners cannot be defined in terms of the ordinary language itself but in reference to MA 1963 Agreement.

TDM will may raise issue in the UN in regarding the South China Sea which again is not good for China-Malaysia relationship.

Don't make promises too early. Like PKR some of the pledges in thier manisfesto, how, can fulfill or not?

Are you sure the penalty is imposed on the fund already paid ie. to certain stage of the project. Could the penalty be based on the overall project sum.

What is the penalty cost ? is it worth paying for nothing. What about our trade, highest in 2017, will this affected ? Really is a short term gain and long term pain....

Like what i have said, equal partners is better than self autonomy. I believe by definition you know what is self autonomy... not need to pay tax, own education system, etc. You know in Sarawak and Sabah, prices of goods, cars, etc. are expensive than W.Malaysia. Why? freight charges as Sarawak/Sabah are not allowed to import direct. I also believe if Sarawak/Sabah can exploit their own resources, they are very rich now.

1. Penalty of about half of the construction cost and must be paid in 3 months' times. Paying for nothing. Is that what you called saving cost.
2. How do know it is running at big losses. Some expert's views are in favour of ECRL (from Japan).

Mr Chinaman, I don't agree with you. Do you know that the cancellation of ECRL bears a penalty of about half the construction cost (according to certain source) which is about 20b. Do you know that the good economics effects spurred from the constructed ECRL. Do you know that in country like Africa, China has written off the loan. All this depends on how we handle the case.

Let's hope Datuk Seri Anwar can succeed TDM to become PM after 2 years times. Also, let's hope he can bring some economics reforms to Malaysia out from the presence messy scenario.

Wait another 60 years, all the resources of oil have already been depleted. What is the use of equal partner for Sarawak and Sabah. By right equal partner is more power than self autonomy.

Do any sifu know what is MA63 Agreement in relation to Sarawak & Sabah which both are oil producing areas.

Transfer of Technology example from Japan for engineers' exposure. Is it possible? The making of cars and engines is the main revenue earner for Japan. Are they so stupid to share the cake with you.

I think PD move by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is wise in light of the PKR's manisfesto stated that he will be PM after 2 years times. Don't you think that there will not have any changes during this 2 years and the present PM is 93 years old. Can DSAI become a PM if he is even not a MP. Furthermore, it is time for him to warm up and on standby mode.

Is nothing wrong to go for by-election. After all he just act accordingly to the PKR manisfesto whereby he will be PM after 2 years times. Don't you think there would not have any changes during this 2 years and the presence PM is already 93 years old. Can you become PM if you are not even a MP. As regards to the monies used in the by election, i opine it is just a tiny sand of the sea. Note: solely my own opinion only on without prejudice.

International law protects the minority. A total different scenario.

Donald Trump got big muscle.

That is what people always saying our brain IQ will go backward (ie.toddlers' intelligence ) when we grow older. Note: I am not quoting any particular person, just a general statement.

Personal interest is the cause of the woes.

Rice already cooked, how? Foreigners to build/invest housing here must have the consent of the Government through proper procedures. Will this agreement being not recognised ? It is just like buy and sell deal is mutually agreed. Now different language.

I don't see any sense at all if foreigners purchase houses at forest city, we will live in wooden houses. Any Malaysian can buy the house if can afford it. Looking from another angle, assuming the forest city was not constructed at all, will some Malaysians not living in wooden houses. As regards to PR (not to say citizenship) why our country have to grant them. All the terms and conditions are already spelled out in the Agreement when they bought the house. There is nothing free in the world or Santa Clause. If we are dealing this matter not in accordance with the Agreement, then we will lost our credibility and trusts to the foreign investors.

So, that means no hope in this counter unless U turn in decisions.

No residency visas....does this means that the foreigners cannot stay at their residents even on vacation/temporary stay in Malaysia. Why the title 'My 2nd home"?

Why price drop and over supply? ....is this due to less demand/support from our major buyer ?

It looks like I give you money and you still slaps on my face. What more to said on the strengthening of the relationship.

bahai4453 TM must step down, he is getting old and talk nonsense. Forbid rich foreigner to stay in Malaysia and spend money is a very stupid idea. Visa and buying asset is a totally different issue. He is talking cock. HP will be out after one term in Putrajaya if this old man still here these 2 years. Mark my word ! What he is interested is Langkawi, 3rd malaysian Car (Failed once), gas and oil where his family and good friend has a share.
Friend, adducing from the past and the current action taken by TDM, i totally agree with you.

Of course Government would save GLC companies. But the matter is our country already in the high debt.

If you talk about the 3rd national car, TDM would have more interested.

Not a surprise price to go down."https://www.thethirdforce.net/china-refused-to-lend-malaysia-the-us40-"

So many restrictions how to get income and pay the huge debt. Only source of income - oil.

What is MM2H program, if you don't mind.

Difficult to invest nowadays with project already signed before can be cancelled...etc.

ECRL continue & upon completion will lower the cost of transportation for palm oil which make our palm oil price more attractive and thus boost demand and CPO price.

I think movement of the share price very much depends on master operator/big shark of the share.

Read more at https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018/08/22/wee-stopping-rail-construction-may-affect-ties-with-china/#6m2V7Dhp1crfEqwq.99" I am not the supporter of or siding BN but I only support realistic comments.

To be realistic, how can China support us if we don't support ECRL which falls under one belt one road. I opine we should go ahead with ECRL and the only crucial agenda is to renegotiate on the pricing and mode of payment(deferred loan payment schedule). Moreover, the completed ECRL can lower the cost of transportation which is in favour of our palm oil and durian and to a certain extent Tourism. So, our income from these source will be affected. I wonder where is our source of income to pay our huge debt. Can we depend on 3rd national car as a source of income which was a failure in the past. The main income now is oil which depends very much on international pricing.(Note: solely my opinion only without prejudice to any party)

"ECRL, pipeline projects cancelled, says Dr M". Pity, ECRL cancelled. Now Bus good business.

This is government intervention will scare away investors.

ECRL ...... HSR........Palm oil......and others. I opine China will see our stand on ERCL which falls under One belt One Road crucial to China. How much they will support our palm oil all depends on how much we support their One belt One Road. It cannot be one way ticket.(Own Opinion only without prejudice to any party)

"Appointment of new Felda chairman should solve current problems of late payments

Time for FGV to fly.

If not mistaken, it is just a 'get ready' for TDM's pre-visit to China.

Management how good to a company to a certain extent also have to depend a lot on marketing. Our Big Boss should build a good relationship with those countries purchasing palm oil from us.

Refer to my earlier above-mentioned points. It depends on your needs/priority. If you can recap the then so called pride of 'Proton' during the past TDM's tenure.

Hopefully like what you think. From TDM's first visit to Japan and the reciprocal yesterday, I am hardly convinced of their intention to have a better relationship with China unless the August's TDM visit to China materialize.

"Japan's visit to Malaysia is to further 'strategic partnership' with new government"(Yahoo News). Gone case la, Are Japan buying our palm oil? where our palm oil heading to ? what business can we do with Japan...Car....electronic......? (note: personal opinion-without prejudice).

Why? source?

After FIFA world cup on 15.7.18, sentiment may get better.

I opined whether it is necessary for PH "to open up all the closet and see what's in there" as this may not related to 1MDB and there is no sign that they will dig in FGV. Afterall, PH have one time said that politic will not interfer in FGV. May be what they deem fit is to replace the top personnel.
