Another MEGA Project

Last week, our big mouth PM promised another mega project to be implemented in Sabah.

Of all these so call Mega Project Development, how many are really being carryout, and are they really materialise? Or is it just another empty talk that is, as usual, trying to convince the public that government have long term plan, and development is on its way after yet another launch of "Sabah Economic Corridor" or something like that.

Over the past few years, we'd heard Abdullah said there willl be this and that development area coming up. But how many of us would actually follow up these plans? How many of us will actually ask "Where's the IDR progress?" "Where's the East Coast Corridor progress?" and many more

I have a friend who works in Project development sector, who is interested in joining the IDR project. He first went for acquiring the land from government sector, and after a few re-directed indications within the government department, he eventually found out the contact person, who is way off for IDR project. That's not it, and he was later asked to look for an agent, who might help in his search for the piece of land acquire. When contacted, he was told that IDR actually is not up and running as published or annouced, their progress is exceptionally slow and that no one actually would dare to start the works.

From this it shows that IDR is actually a big conned and when government annoucing IDR, their intention is just to attract some foreign investment funds for their own purposes, and that the project will eventually scrapped due to inactive and lack of investment.

So for the announcement of Sabah Economic Corridor, I would just listen to it and take it as another dream that would never see materialised. What you think?
