YES,

FDI ALWAYS BRING PROSPERITY WHEREVER IT FLOWS.

IN THE 1960S SINGAPORE IS THE FIRST ASEAN NATION TO OPEN ITS DOOR FOR FDI. SPORE PROSPERED AND PROSPERED UNTIL TODAY IT IS IN THE LEAQUE OF A FIRST WORLD, FIRST CLASS NATION.

SEEING THIS MALAYSIA OPENED ITS DOORS TO FDI - SELANGOR AND PENANG SPEARED THE FORMATION OF FACTORIES BY FDI. BOTH SELANGOR AND PENANG ROSE IN PER CAPITA INCOME.

IN YEAR 1980 DENG XIO PENG AT THE BEHEST OF SPORE PM LEE KUAN YEW OPENED ITS DOOR TO FDI IN SHENZHEN.

SHENZHEN‘ ECONOMY TOOK OFF. ITS PROSPERITY IS UNPARALLELLED IN CHINA. THE SUPER BOOM SUCKED IN 10 MILLION MIGRANTS FROM YUNNAN, SICHUAN AND ALL OVER CHINA.

NOW IS ISKANDAR‘ S TURN.

JUST WATCH WITH WIDE OPEN EYES AND OPEN MOUTH AND SEE ISKANDAR OVERTAKE SELANGOR, SHENZHEN, TOKYO, NEW YORK AND LONDON TO BE THE HOTTEST SPOT ON PLANET EARTH.

HIP HIP HOORAY!

IN YEAR 1965 SINGAPORE BECAME INDEPENDENT.

SINGAPORE HAS ALMOST ZERO RESOURSES EXCEPT A SMALL PORTION OF LAND AND A DETERMINED PEOPLE. NO TIN, NO RUBBER, NEITHER CRUDE OIL OR PALM OIL.

AS ONE OF SINGAPORE SONGS GOES, ‘WE BUILT A NATION WITH OUR HANDS. THE TOIL OF PEOPLE IN A DESERT LAND.‘

PRIME MINISTER LEE KUAN YEW, THE VISIONARY LEADER OPENED SINGAPORE‘S DOOR WIDE FOR FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS.

FACTORIES MUSHROOMED ALL OVER SINGAPORE. WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS CAME KNOWLEDGE. LEARNING FAST SINGAPORE UPGRADED ITS INFRASTRUCTURE.

PIE, ECP, KJE, TPE AND ALL HIGHWAYS ENCIRCLED SINGAPORE - BRINGING THE ENTIRE ISLAND WITHIN REACH IN JUST ONE HOUR DRIVE FROM ALL DIRECTION.. THE DECADE BETWEEN 1980 - 1990 SINGAPORE WAS THE FASTEST GROWING NATION ON PLANET.

FROM THIRD WORLD TO FIRST. THAT IS THE GREAT OUTSTANDING SUCCESS OF SINGAPORE THROUGH FDI.

FDI BROUGHT

ABUNDANT JOBS. MORE QUALITY JOBS. AND AS IT PROGRESSED MORE LABOUR INTENSIVE JOBS WERE PHASED OUT TO MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA. PIG FARMS WERE FORCED TO CLOSE IN SINGAPORE. FREEING PRECIOUS LANDS FOR HIGH VALUE HOMES AND INDUSTRIES. ITS ECONOMY IS ON AN UPWARD TRAJECORY AND RISING UP TO ITS GOAL - THE SWISS STARDARD OF LIVING.


TODAY IN ISKANDAR, ANOTHER SINGAPORE CALLED GREATER SINGAPORE IS IN TRANSFORMATION. AND I AM GLAD TO SEE THE SUCCESS OF SINGAPORE REPEATED HERE.

SUCCESS BEGETS SUCCESS. PROSPERITY BRINGS EVEN MORE PROSPERITY. TO THOSE WHO HAVE THE MORE SHALL BE GIVEN.

IN YEAR 2013 FDI IN ISKANDAR WAS RM14.4 BILLIONS. COMING CLOSE IN 2ND PLACE WAS SELANGOR AT RM9.8 BILLIONS.

IN YEAR 2014 FDI IN ISKANDAR JUMPED TO A NEW RECORD OF RM21.1 BILLION! TRAILING FAR BEHIND IN 2ND PLACE IS SARAWAK AT RM9.6 BILLIONS.

THIS YEAR FROM JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER 2015 ISKANDAR ALREADY SECURED ANOTHER WHOPPING RM27.22 . A COMBINATION OF PENANG, SELANGOR AND SARAWAK CANNOT MATCH ISKANDAR‘S ROARING SUCCESS!

THE FUTURE OF ISKANDAR IS AS CLEAR AS THE NOON DAY SUN. ITS PROSPERITY IS ALMOST GUARANTEED AND SET IN STONES.

MAKE YOUR MOVE FAST. BUY UP ALL AVAILABLE LANDS, LANDED HOUSES LIKE SINGLE STOREY, DOUBLE STOREY, CLUSTER, SEMI DEES, BUNGALOWS, INDUTRIAL LOTS, FACTORIES, SHOPS, MALLS IN THE ISKANDAR REGION.

THIS IS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY ON PLANET EARTH TODAY TO SECURE YOUR BEST INVESTMENT FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

calvintaneng, I share your view about Iskandar. In few years time, when all the factories are opened, MRT and HSR are in place, the population (plus tourist) will jump, demand on houses will jump in tandem, that's why all the big developers are zooming in this region...no doubt Iskandar will be the next Shenzhen...
