Grr... Disni-Malaysia

KHAO adj. enough

Alright, enough about the Maldives. Let's resume normal Sisuahlai activity.

Have you heard about the latest government project? The Malaysian government is in talks with Disney about building a theme park.

BBC reports: "It would also be a coup for Malaysia's tourism industry in its ongoing rivalry with neighbouring Singapore, which is banking on two giant casino resorts." Fight. Fight. Fight. I mean friendly competition.

"The site is near the location of a new bridge that would link Malaysia and Singapore, and would thus have good transport links throughout South-East Asia." Build it close to them, so they can see it.

"Successful negotiations would mean the creation of south-east Asia's first Disneyland, following in the footsteps of Tokyo and Hong Kong." Another First.

But if you want Sisuahlai's honest opinion, DISNEYLAND is no competition to TWO GIANT CASINO RESORTS. This is Asia. The whole continent are addicted to gambling. Besides, you would need to pay someone a lot of money to wear that Mickey Mouse suit in our cheery hot and humid weather!

Oh well, Singapore Economy 1 Malaysia Economy 0.


Read the BBC news article.

But...but.... with the Disneyland here, Malaysia would have 20,000 job vacancy open. Ah well.... I'm not surprise if they employ bangladeshi to wear the Nickey Nouse costume.

Casino got free food...Disneyland tak ada ler. Besides, not exactly thrilled to see Mahmud & Minah Mouse or Daud and Dayang Duck.

You are so right KNB. I am also not so comfortable about a malay-speaking mouse and duck (peninsular-style some more).
