Coup & Screw
It's so hard and costly to stage a coup. Yet it's so easy to screw up what's bird in hand.
The devil is not to repeat the screw-up, letting people see us trailing in their rear mirrors.
We have no less a history in present time, ain't we?

MSC? not as coveted as it look. just a government gimmick to squeeze more money out of the businessmen.

i guess this shows how a label ("MSC") means nothing - it is the winning content which counts.
congratulations on the coups. hope the government works hard to secure more like this. to be sure, we need it.

good coup. but then again arent the govt gonna splash another RM100million into the our very own "UNIVERSAL STUDIO" under 9th MP (SUNDAY STAR page 8). What the heck for when our very own local movie industry is so pathetic and just to count on getting foreigners to use our facilities here is plain dumb and wasteful. I wonder if GERAK KHAS has any use for such lavish studios? They cant even shoot straight for goodness sake.

And whats this IMPACT thingy..Who's paying for it. What expertise do we have to run it? What commercial value (if any) or spin-off effect will it have? Basically is it really going to make an "impact" on anything other that on our wallets? How much is it going to cost us? I remember the last time we tried to make an "impact" in the R&D side..it was a debacle called InventQjaya..hmm maybe they're gonna put the IMPACTER's (no such word) into InventQjaya's vacant building to cover up that mess..

The MSC lost ground and time to competitors because they had to build things from scratch in a place nobody resides. So when the infrastructure was in place, there was nobody to use it. Hence cost of using the facilities initially was expensive, and it did not benefit the citizens as nobody lives there.As for inventqjaya, the loans they obtained, I was told was minus the cost of the research building which cost RM300 million.(Most probably, half of which went to consultants making nuclear bombs in Libya).
