Palm oil is too lucrative. Every available land is for palm oil cultivation and now its mega durian plantation.
Rice plantation returns too dismal.vegetable now tajkn over by banglas as state gomen only give one or two year leases renewabke. How to finance modern agriculture?
For palm oil, they get up to 60 year lease if jv with state gomen.
there's sth called national security
whole of east malaysia or kalimantan (borneo island) is in fact empty
easily food can be grown for 500 million people there even if 50 million bangla are imported and work there, add 20 million pakis if you want to diversify
that's assuming low productivity of agricultural production
with improved tech and more machinery and better fertilizers seeds agricultural know how, production can increase to cater for 1.5 to 2 billion people. easy as that.
relying on only one product palm oil is too risky and makes poor biz sense, no strategic foresight either
moreover indon can backstab and replace jiuhu anytime as it did when dr m banned malayun palm oil export to ceca virus
issue is, as Dr M rightly said, melayun have got no imperial heritage or history no brains or IQ or civilization
in their history, they've always been vassals or servants of either tiongs or ang mohs.
this is why they can't think that big or see that far
this is very different from turks who were described by Ibn Battuta as strong people for some reason even if turks are known as donkeys and for good reason
fyi turkic donkeys ruled Delhi Sultanate at that time and also ruled Yemen
Ibn Battuta observed that the rituals clothings ceremonies performed in the courts of Yemen and Delhi were alike at that time. he was not sure who copied who but it was interesting that both were ruled by Turks at that time.
apart from that, the slaves (mamluks) ruling egypt were turkic, so were the dynasties ruling over Iran in 900 years out of last 1000 years
so were the Seljuks,
Ottomans
and also Khwarezmian empire, who in typical loudmouth braggart Iranian manner challenged mongols, beheading their diplomat only to be completely routed in the battlefield and dominated, having their entire civilization culture countries populations subjugated destroyed or conquered by inferior heathen Mongols.
now if you lose before industrial revolution, you have no claim to greatness.
that describes the peoples of the wider middle east, central asia, north africa, balkans, ceca virus (who were ruled by their Muslim masters for 1000 years), europe all the way to london (who were ruled by romans) as well as tiongs (ruled by all and sundry incl ethnically Manchu
Qing dynasty and ethnically
Mongol Yuan dynasty) for maybe close to 500 years?
when was the last Han dynasty ? in the Ming era? that was what 500 years ago? or 400?
