The damage was done over the past decade.<br /><br />Maybe a simple example will clear up your simple mind. Imagine I run a company called MY Bhd. I screwed it up royally and siphoned off all the cash over the past ten years. Once the balance sheet has shown negative equity (more liabilities than assets), I hand over the company for you to run. Now, suddenly the company goes bankrupt. Who is the culprit?<br /><br />Faham?Thehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941744057903049051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-89019938346826553372010-08-04T09:59:24.693+08:002010-08-04T09:59:24.693+08:00I guess BN and PR should be blame for the declinin...I guess BN and PR should be blame for the declining FDI. In the 90s the FDI was huge compared to other ASEAN countries because we have a stable and strong BN government lead by Dr. M. People work hard for the money. The cake was big enough for us to eat. Not many people complaint coz we are busy counting dollar and cents. Now we have double jeoapardy.

He quotes MIDA figures of > USD4 billion for 2009. What he fails to understand is that MIDA often gives well massaged figures including those FDI "in the pipeline" in the form of MOUs or mere indication of intent to invest only. This figures are not reflective of reality. Investors may still be shopping for better destinations while window shopping here.<br /><br />All these years we quoted UNCTAD figures unabashedly when FDI in Malaysia was impressive. But now that there is a 80% decline, Calvin seems to want to dispute the scientifically driven numbers by UNCTAD.<br /><br />Hope this helps explain abit of Calvin's shallow analysis.<br /><br />Matt BalanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13763857752896317507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-79237784377955877122010-07-27T21:23:55.756+08:002010-07-27T21:23:55.756+08:00How about Penang FDI.

This mean if we dissect the entire FDI report into SMALLER PORTIONS via FDI statistics per STATE, wit's OBVIOUS to notice all States in MALAYSIA plays a part in this recent dip of our nation's FDI.<br /><br />May I ask you which STATES in MALAYSIA are considered to be TARGET of FOREIGN INVESTORS??? I would assume you'll ANSWER (1) SELANGOR & (2) PENANG, correct???<br /><br />May I ask further....."Which PARTY is the STATE GOVT. of these 2 said STATES??". <br /><br />It's clear PAKATAN RAKYAT plays the MAJOR ROLE in the POOR SHOWING our our FDI findings. However, instead of undertaking the BLAME; PAKATAN RAKYAT is seen as PUSHING their fault to BARISAN NASIONAL of which is the Federal Govt. I view this kind of PATHETIC ACT as COWARDLY as a TORTOISE hiding in its' SHELL.<br /><br />What have LIM GUAN ENG (CM of Penang) & KHALID IBRAHIM (MB of Selangor) been doing all these years??? Busy "MAKAN RASUAH"???. These 2 WANKERS is suppose to build the STATES & when the nation FDI drops, these 2 WANKERS ought to be BLAMED becos' they are the HEAD of the 2 MOST INDUSTRIOUS STATES in MALAYSIA.<br /><br />Not unless we VOTE PAKATAN RAKYAT out from SELANGOR & PENANG in the next G.E., our country's FDI will DROP FURTHER. It's WRONG to BLAME the BN GOVT for the recent FDI dropping as BN only governs LOWER INDUSTRIOUS STATES. Where else, the 2 VITAL STATES led by Pakatan Rakyat are the main contributor to the recent failure of our FDI.<br /><br />Guan Eng is SUCKING Penang dry, while KHALID IBRAHIM is depleting Selangor's wealth besides depleting SANDS too.<br /><br />ALARMING!!! So, who would you BLAME now???PJU Voternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-72692097383119497572010-07-27T16:58:12.192+08:002010-07-27T16:58:12.192+08:00Nazir was asked the question in a conference and i...Nazir was asked the question in a conference and it was off the cuff. He knows the numbers are not good. But he also really damage his reputation for not really not keeping up with details of the net-flow numbers because we all know its been bad for a while now. <br /><br />It is public knowledge that Nazir and Najib differ in their view of NEP and economic matters. But they are still brothers and its Nazir's interest to defend Malaysian economic where he derives most of his revenue. <br /><br />Still Nazir, not keeping up with his homework.
