Malaysia's Mahathir Warns Chinese Investors

Apr.08 -- Chinese investors in Malaysia will face tougher scrutiny if former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad wins back power in the upcoming election. Mahathir spoke exclusively with Bloomberg's Haslinda Amin about what his rival Najib Razak has been doing wrong when it comes to China.

This is propaganda, Dr M is playing deflecting, he knows that the DAP network right to China and Chinese across the world, and they expect him to die soon, so Lim Kit Siang can take over. This guy is a tongue twisting liar, hates Anwar and now joins Anwar, just shows these type of politician have no integrity, play the public with emotions rather than facts.. making up story of Chinese taking over Malaysia, when he himself is selling out to the chinese here... these DAP are all Singaporean agents.

[@syedazharsyedibrahim1763]

I worry for Malaysia's future. My fear is that in 20-30 years time when the economic engine of DEB has declined considerably, and Malaysia has no other source of income then only would the people say " I wish we had done the ECRL, we would have gained considerable wealth,job opportunity and development if the project was done. Malaysia would be the trading corridor between china with its massive population+ massive production and the rest of the world. If only Malaysia benefited 1% of the traded value, Malaysia would be rich beyond their dreams" But by that time it will be 20 years too late. The brilliant planning of Najib and his enormous effort to bring this about for the Malaysian people were savagely sabotaged. The people he worked for, the Malaysian public obviously did not accept his push for this development because instead of trying to understand what he is doing, they are more interested in hearing slanderous political talk on him and his family. Even now we can see the engine of our manufacturing, palm oil and natural oil&gas giving the signs of decline and fluttering. Mahathir who has ruled Malaysia for 22 years were very,very fortunate because he was riding on a giant strong wave of DEB which was made by his predecessor Tun Razak ( but the Malaysian public believes Malaysia's economical success was his doing). But now if Mahathir is still stubborn to maintain Malaysia's economy on the old and tired DEB, All future generation Malaysian will pay the price. All our children will suffer. At that time we will call it not the curse of Mahsuri but the curse of Najib. And we all rightly deserve it.

Foreigners investment causing a lot of issues in other countries too, causing the local people in the country could not afford to purchase the equity with high cost. Look at Vancouver and Ontario in Canada. The properties cost is high rocket. Canadian middle class are suffering for paying rentals and high cost residential. Half of the local can't even afford to pay, and a lot of people has no jobs. Only the rich foreign investors can afford to live in the high cost properties. Tun Mahathir is very intelligent ! He protected our country from getting influences by others. Malaysia has to take care and protect our home first. That way, we have a solid and strong base to be equally successful in the future.

Dia juga lah yang menghantar ratusan komando Malaysia yang dibawa masuk secara sulit ke Bosnia untuk membantu saudara seIslam kita ketika era pencerobohan dan pembunuhan beramai-ramai umat Islam di Bosnia ketika itu. “Kalau negara Arab ini tidak datang membantu, kita hantar sahaja askar kita,” kata kata siapakah ini? 3) Dia juga lah berpakat dengan kerajaan Sultan Brunei menyediakan jumlah dana yang berjuta dollar untuk membeli senjata dan peluru anti kereta kebal untuk tentera Islam di Bosnia. 4) Dia lah yang pernah menangis ketika melawat Bunker yang menjadi pejabat Yasser Arafat di Palestin. 5) Dia juga lah pemimpin Islam yg Yasser Arafat hubungi meminta bantuan dan pertolongan ketika diserang oleh rejim zionis. 6) Dia juga lah yang mempertaruhkan nyawa isterinya, menaiki pesawat ke Baghdad membawa bantuan kemanusiaan kepada umat Islam demi untuk melepaskan sekatan Amerika Syarikat. 7) Dia lah yang digelar MahaFiraun dan dia jugalah yang lantang mengutuk kekejaman Yakjuj Makjuj / Zionis ke atas umat Islam serta mempertahankan Islam dimata dunia. 8) Dia lah yang berusaha keras, tak hanya duduk berdoa tanpa berbuat apa2. 9) Dia lah yang ketika saudara Islam yang berlainan parti mendoakan kecelakaan untuknya. Tapi dia diizin oleh Allah SWT masuk ke dalam KAABAH. 10) Dia jugalah pernah ditembak dibahu dan mengorbankan jawatan tertinggi yang beliau ada bagi menyelamatkan umat Islam di Bosnia. Malah beliau kini dianggap sebagai seorang pemimpin dunia yang berjaya meskipun memimpin sebuah negara yang kecil. Beliau bukan hanya berjaya Memerdekakan negaranya dari semua segi, tetapi berusaha memerdekakan negara-negara lain dari belenggu falsafah pembangunan yang dijana dari barat yang jelas muflis idealistiknya.. "Dari segi apa kamu menghukum dia tidak memperjuangkan Islam ? Dari segi apa ? Dia pernah DITEMBAK di bahu kanan beliau ketika beliau ingin menyelamatkan umat Islam di Bosnia suatu ketika dahulu. Tapi beliau tak nak bagitahu sesiapa pun. Malah, sebelum itu, Beberapa ahli kabinet telah "offer" untuk pergi menemani beliau tapi beliau enggan.... Beliau kata "tak pa lah, kalau hangpa mati sapa nak jaga negara, biar saya pi sorang ja" Kisah ini diceritakan sendiri tentera yang menjaga beliau ketika misi itu. Kuatnya hati beliau.

The Chinese has money, but it doesn't mean they can buy everything.

Arminius you're right. Race shouldn't be the factor. What you can contribute is what people are looking for. There's a meme to this that says something like "minorities and special people are useless unless exploited". Remember, i said "something like" not "exactly". But that's what school taught us all about, being someone useful. The chinese who came to tanah melayu were poor. What else could driven them to work harder. Who would wanted to live in poverty his or her entire life. Also seeing this, local leaders hired them to run most jobs during tanah melayu, and might i add the indians as well.

[@jckalden1700]

It is an interesting topic, but here is from another perspective. 1 To begin with, one needs to have some knowledge of the differences between a private and public project. 2 Private investors projects usually have certain Datelines for completion. 3 Next, does the country has the necessary pool of discipline Skill personnel to work on any projects ? 4. Those who have worked for the commercial sectors, would understand. Basically, they have no time to train a personnel for a job. It is not a training institute. So employers will usually state clearly the skills and experiences they are looking for. 5. To meet such criterias, it would be good if a country education system is able to educate a workforce that is focused on such industry. 6. To private investors, time is the returns of their investment. 7. It is like saying if a private project encountered local shady contractors, (who disappeared with the monies or declare bankrupt), or a "difficult workforce", who will be responsible for the delay or failure of the project ?

Question about Chinese investment is mainly because there have been too loose of control to investment particularly during Najib's government era. Malaysia is like Singapore, as both countries are located strategically in the map, we need to be as neutral as possible while freeing ourselves from the absolute control from either super powers of the world. Malaysia need to have more bargaining power like Singapore in terms of international investment. Have a read at the late former Singaporean PM Lee Kuan Yew's book about his opinion on Singapore's role in the world, it pretty much explains the same status like Malaysia now. We need to seek balance between the Superpowers.

[@DarmintoJiang]

It should be the private sectors who invest in properties all over the world, and so is in Malaysia. It requires Mr. Mahatir to tell the whole truth not the half truth.

Without a hospital environment, how will foreign investors willing to double down in local economy. They are building ports and cities in Malaysia to help drive the economy. These are investors going all over the world. Are they going to "live" in Malaysia? You have to start somewhere. If real estate is a good starter and ports are good starters, go with them first. Let the investors know that you are an open society and that they are welcome. Now if you close door, they will just go somewhere else. You HAVE TO start from somewhere.

If people still ain't going to be convinced, just remind them the interest that is going to be charged by Chinese investments(hint: Sri Lanka)

[@iceageseries9599]

Mahathir= BEST!

[@choomenglee2404]

How about his money 🤑 kept in the Bank of Israel in Singapore?

[@gingerteddy618]

Love Dr M.

[@rj12783]

This new PM has good reasons not to allow Chinese investments. Of course Malaysian interest should be priority.

[@getreal929]

Dr. M is a Legend. He is very mentally alert, speaks very clearly and doesn't look his age 👍

[@danielyee9159]

HE IS A VERY CRUEL AND SELFISH PERSON.

[@The-qf2pd]

Hah! He should has think twice before spit it out. Doesn't he realized that most of his followers from PH are Chinese? I mean, like what of the odd, right?

[@TheChaChaMarba]

Totally agreed..brilliant comment from a true PM..

[@talindra888]

Good job Dr Mahathir. It is silly to open up the land for others to come without benefiting the local. The deal sound fishy.

[@arifrahman7666]

Malaysia moves backward. They don't have a good successor other than an old grandpa who are remembered as a dictator. Poor malaysia!!!!

[@stevej1235]

The Hot List yeah, I agree with you as Malaysian, although I voted him because of how corrupted najib was, but this new PM done worst thing before, now many young local Chinese view him as savior and god but they don't know how antiChinese he was before

[@MORLANDO-py8mr]

We will wait and see. Atleast there is a little bit of hope.Let bygone be bygone. People can change.

[@krugerbud]

Sharp as hell mate, wish Australia would take measures now... its probably already too late

[@googleking5780]

Mashaa Allah the true leader who care for his country.

[@cedric9115]

yes, all previous projects with foreign countries should be reviewed, we can open up the market for them in exchange for better technology, but we will not accept their investment in capital asset that will enslave generations of our citizens

[@marthasuper1801]

Mainland Chinese beda dengan local chinese. Bahkan local chinese tidak suka dgn Mainland chinese. kami beda budaya. hanya sama ras

[@hussainibrahim6443]

Faham dengan kamu maksudkan

[@711TheOwl]

Martha Super, Malaysia must NOT allow mainland chinese to take over our territories. If we do it's not only the malay/indian/other ethnicity malaysians who will have no place to stand in their own country. So will the chinese malaysians. The mainland chinese are a very dangerous people and as a chinese malaysian I bantah keras2 the nonsense that najis did simply bcs the china gov lent him money to save his azz.

[@gp2779]

Saya bangsa Malaysia, etnik Cina tapi tak suka org China. Ada bezanya kita ngan mereka.

[@firstlast1924]

[@shinchanpalooza007]

[@taylorwinsxdismail9836]

[@johnlewis6585]

Mr.Mahathir you are man of truth and honor.

[@mostlyblueskies]

Malaysia are for malaysian ❤️

[@nicemilk01]

Make sense.. the current one belt one road is going to destroy our country. Tun already seen the consequences...

[@aave865]

Nick Ching We are your neighbor and we hope your government is strong enough to resist China's invasion. They are quietly using the Chinese educated Malaysian to poison your political system. We already felt that.

[@cyber1991]

Nonsense! So that's why Myanmar is a very poor country because there're no investments. Chinese and Myanmarese are blood brothers. They are called Sino-Tibetna for some reason.

[@cyber1991]

Nonsense! The Indon and Bangla have been invading Malaysia for decades but nobody complained? Now the Rohingya are coming too. Stop calling yourself Malaysian Chinese if you are so dumb,

[@racistproud9189]

okay

[@kennyjong0303]

Tun mahatir says : welcome china investment that benefit our country. All of you interpreted wrongly

[@sakurakou2009]

this is happening all over africa , everyone say china investing in africa yet the chinese never employ africans and they build whole community for the chinese and segregate themselves from locals and look down on locals , china is not helping others they only help themselves

[@gordonsek]

We welcome Chinese investments? Are we not Malaysians?

[@vegawinnfield7002]

Finally the man has arrived to make Malaysia great again..it was a very dark period when Najib was the prime minister

[@drjamesallen6012]

Most of them are in fact local Malays. And China is responsible for helping Malaya train its newer gen of engineers by hiring them in high-tech manufacturing plants like the ETS and state-of the-art concrete streamline

[@jianpodu224]

En. Mahathir looks no more than 70 years old, really mysterious.

[@ParachuteManiac]

Yea. I still remember 2 years ago, i went to Sabah to work for few weeks, went into rural area in beaufort And saw one group of chinese mainland and one local chinese driver. When i ask the villagers, they were force to sell their land to the chinese mainland. But they refuse.

[@ashley-yz5cf]

I live here kota kinabalu not far from Beaufort 1 - 2 hour drive depends on traffic your right mainland China are trying there best to buy up every cl tittle or convert nt title to there will maybe in 50 - 100 years it's no longer sabah but a China state

[@bossliken9354]

can the Chinese bring the land back?? what logic are these brains???

[@ParachuteManiac]

boss Liken no, but they will fill the area and bring their manpower to occupy the local work. It already happen in some places. If u go to sandakan, u will find there are a number of chinese, who does not speak malay, english or local dialect(bajau). Oh and fyi, chinese who r born in sabah sarawak are consider as bumiputra. There are also some cases in sapulut to be exact, the whole village was sold to a chinese. But i didnt get a full information from the local because i was working at that time, but i doubt its the mainland people. Sapulut is one of the heaven for illegal loggers.

[@bossliken9354]

come on, if the work for local will take years to get done, for them to manage their worker is 5X faster, who want lazy people i.e local workers???

[@ashley-yz5cf]

boss Liken just saying then you don't like local people because they are lazy true but are you local.

[@sereanaduwai8313]

Mahathir is the kind of Leader we need in this troubled times. There is no beating round the bush with this Prime Minister he not only knows how to lead but also calls a a spade a spade and Malaysia needs Leader right now! He sure dent look his age.

[@cyanblue8438]

Always like to use race. Now blame chinese then local chinese. Who supported Najib in the first place.

[@danielyou6777]

Yes and i don't know why so many stupid Chinese still supports him when he outplayed us during his time as PM

[@lizyliz970]

It is a choice of the less evil of two evils.

[@k0m3n9]

Everybody made mistake. He already admitted his mistakes. Now his comeback is to correct it all.. progress is in the process.

[@zulkiflimdhussain1863]

We opened investment opportunities for foreigners but with the condition that they must take our workers to work in their firms ! It’s a win - win situations for both sides !

[@azharshahid3524]

May the force be with u Tun Mahathir and win this coming election over Darth Najib....

He looks very well rested and energetic here compared to some of his talks during this time. Its refreshing to see. Thank you for bringing Malaysia to new heights and bringing us up at the world stage.

[@adammanan8370]

thanks mahathir for protecting our country

[@MultiClearsky]

It's not about Chinese from mainland China that we should be worried. In Europe, they are building barb wires to prevent refugees from West Asian countries (Middle East) from entering Europe. The Europeans didn't build barb wires to prevent Chinese businessmen from entering Europe. Chinese investment in Europe hit a record 65 billion euros ($79 billion) in 2017, compared with less than 2 billion euros ($2.5 billion) in 2010. In Malaysia, Mahathir is trying to slow down this process by comparing Chinese business with the migration MiddleEastern refugees into Europe.
