Confuseous

JOHOR BARU - Country Garden Holdings, the Chinese property giant behind the controversial Forest City development in Johor Baru, is controlled by China's richest woman and one of the world's youngest billionaires.

China is obviously trying to expand her borders. For Johore, she can only reclaim up to the borderline. Like that we should also reclaim to our borders and join up. Then no need for bridge!

We join in the reclaimation with them and set up the fence and get a few machine guns to standby at the border, this will be interesting.

I know of some Sporeans who have invested in Malaysia have been burned when the rules were changed. So there are not guarantees of success.

she actually came down to JB herself and bought a bungalow in Bukit serene for her staff to stay. She insist that bungalow is fully equipped and nothing to be taken out. Nobody knew who she was, but she bought cash.

The straits of johore is useless. Its not navigable by boat from one end to another because the causeway is blocking. So might as well fill it up. Then it becomes something useful.
