Dr Mahathir is sick mentally. THe IDR was initiated by Malaysia/Johor. It has nothing to do with Singapore! Singapore companies have been invited to make this project a success. Due to conflicting signals sent by Malaysia (mostly initiated by Mahathir), most Singapore companies have expressed pessimism in this project. Mahathir must know that Singapore companies have their presence throughout the world. IDR is only one such project and place!

The outcomes painted by this politician's statement are done with the assumption that our Malaysians cannot compete and gather fair share of the pie.

(no doubt fueled by the concession-driven capability of our business leaders, and dysfunctions of our universities and education systems that have now been obliterated by racist politicians and their racist policies)

So instead of fixing the root issues and problems for durable and sustainable capability and benefits, we adopt approaches to avoid the potential development - outstanding wisdom and leadership.

Well, if you want to regress and limit your opportunities for growth and wealth creations, that is your choice - but understand that your children will pay for the cost and risks of your choices.

It is insidious to implicitly suggest that the ONLY purpose of the IDR is for Singapore to grow. Of course, Singapore (like any other investing country) will want to help her country grow by participating in the IDR; how else does it make sense for them to invest here? But the really important question is whether their participation will be benefit Malaysia as a whole, which is without a doubt. If the IDR is to be cancelled, it should be based on better reasons, not such a crappy reason as the "Singapore" factor!

Mahahypocrite, you have already hoodwinked and done an enormous damage to MAlaysia and MAlay. You have no decency. Stop your racist charade. IDR was just another scheme to attract foreign investment, without which we will be in trouble, many Malysians, especially more MAlay youths will be jobless in the years to come. We should be glad if Singapore want to invest in IDR, they can go anywhere. China, Vietnam etc already diverting a lot of investment from Malysia. By your ulterior motive, you have already caused a lot of hesitation of investors coming in. If Singaporean investors buying up properties, it is no differnt from any other investors buying properties in Klang Valley, Kulim or Penang, it is part of economic growth. For heaven sake, don't use your racist rhetoric to fool your own people anymore , the government need to create lots of jobs, especialy for the tens of thousand of jobless MAlay youth, they deserve decent jobs and decent lives, not just UMNO politicians and their children. Are you so blind or so heartless to see what enormous damage you have done to your country ! The corruption, the hugh wastage of public money, the judiciary , the PDRM and all law enforcement agencies, our education system, there were in extremely sorry state. Any who will pay for this ? There is no one else but you who was main culprit to have nutured this heinous corrupt culture and mentality in our civil service and political system. Look at UMNO election, it was not because so many UMNO politicians were so full of of ideals and eagerness to serve their country and people, but it was simply because there were big money involved. Getting elected in UMNO would mean unimaginable wealth, forget about decent work or professions, these are for 'fools' like most of small citizens like us . A whole generation of Malays has grown up with this mentality. Because of your heinous misdeed, MAlysia has become a severely dysfunctional state. The country wealth were plundered and stolen, the country was run by a group of incapable and dishonest and dishonourable people, the police was no more protecting people and preventing crime, but colluding with criminal elements, even the highest judiciary officers were not spared. The people running the country has no moral, no pride, no honour and no shame any more !! All these were due to your 22 years of misdeed and misrule. You used the country wealth to 'nurture' this culture for your selfish aim of consolidating your position and power. This is unspeakable crime and high treason against your country and your people !!

Ordinary man would never do anything to harm the well being of his children and family. Alas, tragically, we have you, as leader of our country for 22 years doing such enormous damage to the country. Many of us, cannot imagine that you, a highly educated person, a doctor to boot, a person whom people will naturally trust to care for people, a person whom by profesion has taken oath to save life, would be so heartless and so capable to inflicting such harm to his country and people !! The late Tun Hussien Onn must be grieving in his grave for having picked you to be the PM. He failed to detect your deeply devious flaw in character, flawed to point of of evil.

You are a curse on Malysia. Even you have left the scene, MAlaysia will still suffer from the spell of this curse for many years to come. Even you have left the scene, with luck and determination, Malysia will need another generation or more to recover from the great wound that you have inficted on her !!

Most Singaporean are against the IDR as it is nothing but a hyped-up property play. The real Singaporean businessmen are already in Malaysia, particularly in Johore, building factories and doing manufacturings and employing many Malaysians.

The Iskandar Malaysia project is a platform for Singapore to expand its sovereignty, said former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He explained that the project was intended to lure Singaporeans and Malay land would be sold to them for 10 times its worth.

“After the land is sold, the Malays will be driven to live at the edge of the forest and even the forest itself.

TDM, your hatred for Singapore has made you irrational.

How come if others in Iskandar or other parts of Malaysia, it is not their countries expanding their sovereignty?. Why only single Singapore ?.

If there is no Iskandar, will it make the Singapore economy collapse ?.

Without big oil supplier companies like Haliburton and their technologies, Malaysia's oil and gas industry would be greatly constrained.

It is very funny to see how the comments flow into MT. WPI is an initiative of PM Abdullah and I remember he has been criticize heavily by the readers of MT for that project.

Unfortunately, when Mahathir criticized the WPI, suddenly you see all the critics went back to Mahathir by MT readers backing the WPI.

I am starting to have disillusion. How can they switch side so quickly. Who is right and who is wrong? or is right and wrong depends on its beholder? As long as it comes out from the mouth of Mahathir, it must be wrong. If it is from Abdullah, it must also be wrong. But when Mahathir criticized the wrong of Abdullah, Mahathir is also wrong because whatever comes out from his mouth is wrong .

Fellow Malaysians!

Let me sum up in utmost honesty and true sentiments of all Singaporeans!

All Singaporeans are in strong favour to maintain a close and strong bond and relationship with Malaysia. I am telling you the whole truth. You can take it from me as an ex Malaysian. The main obstacle to this has always been Dr. Mahathir! He has either directly made several personal unwanted attacks on Singapore or use his cronies and yesmen to attack Singapore. His main intention is to ensure that these 2 nations always remain at verbal war to each other. He has even chided in attacking Singapore with aircrafts.

His hatred towards the concept of Malaysian Malaysia is seen by all of you yesterday! This was the same call Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore was echoing before the separation! So long as Dr. Mahathir is alive this sometimes patchy relationship will exist. I have deep respect for Mr.Anwar because he espouses the same views as Mr Lee, hence the term "ketuanan rakyat" Let me assure you one thing, my Singaporean brothers and sisters comprising the 3 major races and other minority communities live happily with no fear of intimidation or biasness! There are severe laws in this country for racist elements tempering with racial harmony!. No religion is superior than the other in this land! Equal opportunities for Education and scholarships are based upon merits! All handouts from surplus budget are given back to the people based upon individual income, etc. Dr. Mahathir has always been talking about the marginalisation of Malays in this country. Let me assure you, even a poor taxi driver in Singapore is worths RM500,000.00 on an average should he wish to migrate to Malaysia! The government is trying very hard to narrow down the income gap between the rich and the poor! This is their biggest challenge currently!

To all my Malay friends in Malaysia..The best performance by any student in Primary School Leaving Examination in Singapore's history (equivalent to your standard 6 exam)is a Malay girl. Our National Anthem is in Malay! Our commands in MINDEF (Army, Navy and Air Force) are carried out in Malay! And many others. The Malays have never been marginalised, and they have not loss their dignity in Singapore! They never will! All law abiding Singaporeans be it Malays or others are respected and treated equally in Singapore.

My sincere advice to all of you..Dont listen to Dr.Mahathir anymore. He has misled you enough. The people of Malaysia should dictate the path for New Malaysia! Let the New Malaysia prosper working alongside Singapore! Let poverty be erased completely from this land of many resources!

The current government is still pursuing that while telling us, that if we are not careful, foreigners will own us! Buddy, they already have man! It tires me to listen over and over again your message and that of the other UMNO leaders. Any other Malaysian that believes the current policies should continue, has simply closed their eyes to what is happening in the globalization movement. The world do not wait for you, you have to keep up!
