Comments by PASOK and Oyster is stupid, unethical and obnoxious. The Rakyat must be happy that the Japanese Ambassador is visiting a PR controlled state.

May be PASOK and Oyster should consider throwing out all Japanese products in their home.

Use your brains, morons!

Japan has reversed the trend,they are looking West. Way to Perak,and more good fortune to follow.All the more reason to relocate Kamunting Detention Center to Putra Jaya,or better still to Syed Hamid's back Yard.

Japan is a close friend of Anwar Ibrahim.They have been the source of support for change but they are doing it quietly.Japanese likes the way PR treat investors.There is no 30% shares reserved for bumiputra under PR administration.For this they are pumping in massive investment into PR states.One is the propose construction of a multi-million shopping mall,like the Ginza in Tokyo,on the present Kamunting site.Once agreed, then Kamunting will be torn down and the project will start immediately.The project will be completed in 3 years time.

No offence, ahmadneil, but are you sure of your facts and where did you get your source from? The Taiping area is hardly a suitable site for a multi-million Ginza-like shopping mall. You need a large pool of affluent patrons to make such a project viable. Even Ipoh will not be able to sustain a mall like that.

I'm all for the tearing down of Kamunting, but let's not have any pipe dreams about unfeasible mega-projects. Besides, wasteful white elephants are BN's domain.

Alright lets be pragmatic. Ambasaddor Hori did not only visit Perak,
in case you all didnt see it in the news , read this..

Quote:
Horie said this was reflected in the Japanese investments in Malaysia such as the joint venture of Lion Corporation Japan and its local subsidiary Southern Lion Sdn Bhd, under Lion Eco Chemical Sdn Bhd, which had invested RM90 million in a plant to manufacture an eco-friendly palm-oil based surfactant used in biodegradable detergents, in Tanjung Langsat, Johor.

Horie was impressed with the Government’s plan for the Iskandar Development Region (Iskandar) in South Johor, as the State is a key investment destination in Malaysia. Japanese investors, he said, would be keen on investing in Iskandar.



This means the bigger investments are going to Iskandar/Johor,
whereas in Perak they are only talking about student exchange and tourist package with Fukuoka....probably due to the inept Azalina cancelling tourism MOU's

Its nothing personal Japan will always deal the ruling govt largely but they are just hedging their bets with Pakatan states., thats business.

Sorry I had to say that but its the truth, we should discuss by treating each other with respect, disagree politely and not stray from the facts.
Lets not give UMNO cybertroopers fodder to laugh at us.
Lets slam them at pro umno sites.

Warmest Regards
Vijay Kumar Murugavell

The area near Kamunting are earmark as a growth triangle involving southern Thailand,Acheh and northern Malaysia.Cheap labour from Thailand and Indonesia are abundant so investors are eagerly awaiting our gov't's approval.All products will be value added and exported through Penang port.This is the latest massive project to be initiated by the gov't of the participating countries.Sources close to the these gov't are saying that the Japanese will own 80% of the project and the rest will be own by the state gov't.Up to you all to believe it or not but that is what I was told,Arubin.HA HA,interested,then start buying land there.

Japanese live well under BN. They send in 10 expatriate for a factory with less than 500 workers or 50 expatriate for a factory with 2000 workers to ensure all you local remain donkey after many years, and through transfer pricing and tax break, they suck the Malaysian blood dry. The reward is our operator will get pay of RM500 per month for rest of his life working for this selfish bastard and continue to listen how the Japanese Manager call you Malaysian baka. What the Japanese tell is not wrong because all this baka have been voting the BN to secure their monthly RM500 per month job for the past 20 years.

Baka, go n get the screw driver now!

You see, you see even the Japanese are back knowing the PR gorv. of the State of Perak is trust-worthy and clean. Any State under PR will prosper cause we have good people running the show. Hope more investors will flock not only to Perak but the others under PR. PR will show the way to a better and better life for everyone in Malaysia. God bless PR.

I've been working in few Japaneses manufacturing company for almost 12 years..

from my observation, yes they are blood suckers.
yes, they are workaholics

sometimes we call them askar jepun, sometimes the local gives them the penampar jepun.

but nonetheless it is their mak bapak company and we are makan gaji...

Hey, if the locals turn to invest in another country, the same scenario for sure...

We view the visit by Nihon ambassador with high expectation.Theres a trend of dwindling investment in Malaysia as more companies ( not just the Japanese ) are shifting their investments elsewhere out of Malaysia.
It is of wrong to say Japanese should only invest or to consider investing only in PR states and not in the bn states . By the next GE , more bn states will be in control by the PR.
Huge companies actually plans long term.
Therefore such direct visitation by any ambassador must be welcome by all.
Some of the commentators here mentioned that they are from or ex employees of nihon kaisha. Therefore one must know that Japanese expect high quality workers and with high discipline.This is where most Malaysian fails big time to emulate and learn good working culture. Japs churns out high quality employees
