Re: [bername] How Thinkers In Malaysia Think

hahaha!

you admit that you don't have answer for things like cost of building the speed train system and the locations of the stops,

air-con the whole Disneyland resort, you are not intelligent after all.

don't talk nonsense, it's irrelevant to talk about the speed train and
disneyland in Singapore, the weather is so warm and humid in Singapore.

you cannot answer things like cost of building the speed train system
and the locations of the stops, so don't talk about it.

That is the same type of question asked by the small minded tourism
authorities of Disneyland when they were looking for an Asian


destination -

and HK splurged on it and we can only look at them with envy today as 

they

open Disneyland HK with US$90 billion projected sales in the pipeline in 

the

nest 40 years.

We have too many small thinkers like you in the govt top echelons maybe.
We will stagnate economically because you can only see no further than


your

nose.

do you know how much it will cost to have the speed train?
which are the cities and towns do you want the speed train to stop?

of course is good to have the best in everything, but what is the
opportunity cost to the country, any other urgent needs.

At what price and cost to the nation, Ardeedee ??? I was told 

that


the




cost of expanding the Penang Bridge to another 2 lanes on each 

side,


is




about RM400 or was it RM500 million. It costs a couple of 

Billion

RMs,




to build another bridge. 


k adchin,
iirc, the penang bridge was built by the koreans foc on the


condition


that





the korean consortium collects toll from commuters for the next x 

x10


years?
i could be wrong as i never saw the bridge being built.
what is the history behind this old  penang bridge, k adchin, por


favor?




To make a decision to develop, on or the other, looks like a 

no-brainer




to me. Yet, I keep getting the impression that lots of powerful 

people




want to build another bridge, if ever, at some time in the 

future,

these




powerful people want to improve the comfort of people like me, 

who

drive




on the Pg Bridge everyday.

So, at what price progress and raising of the way of life for 

the

people




?





aia yah, k adchin, you are always thinking we should get things 

free,


huh?





my monthly water bill rose from rm2 to 6 now rm12 even i am the 

only


one




in





the house for the past 10 years.
the malay meter reader says that the minimum charge for water is


rm12


irrespective of whether i usse the minimum volume of now muddy 

water


or



not.

i suppose i have to agree ;-((

not the malay water meter reader's fault.

blame indah biwaters?


Actually it's not a bad idea if another bridge is build by another
consortium to give the Korean consortium a competition.
