Malaysia is south east Asia.
You're right on her incompatibility. The ultimate concern is the network state. They have been openly talking about setting up a sovereign nation on the site. It won't ever go down well with the hosts who actually own the place.
And NS has not been very honest with their marketing either. They rented some shoplots and flats. Then told the world they acquired the island.
They didn't even bother to do the paperwork correctly at city hall level, nevermind the one that involves the ministry of education at federal level.
I think NS will face similar bureaucratic red tapes whichever country they go - whichever country which civil society and law is intact.
In theory the ideas are probably good and very game able in virtual worlds.
But in reality you're going to have to evict the existing residents of the locality if you enact the state physically.
@MarkLutter Funny how ur quick to condemn Msians for rejecting the idea of a tech-bro enclave inside our country, yet somehow find nothing to say about ICE raids, decades of U.S. military interventions in the Middle East & SEA, or continued support for a government committing genocide.
All these westerners trying to tell us what to do is annoying. Our people had been subject to 446 years of continuous occupation and colonisation, one of the longest in the world. A question of inventing a micro nation that challenges our fledgling sovereignty is absolutely unacceptable.
What we have achieved today, the good and the bad, are done by our own liberty. Anyone who undermines our sovereignty will be kicked out.
Forest City semasa dibuat, kajian alam sekitar (EIA) pun belum siap. Nelayan terkesan. Country Garden melingkup, Malaysia pula kena tanggung buat zon kewangan khas. Datang Balaji, sekarang isu anti-semitik.
Tiada faedah kepada rakyat Malaysia melainkan untuk segelintir kecil.
@agvbtc@ns Don’t start using SG name to justify ns. Malaysia and SG is leveraging of each other strength and narrative like this is no longer welcome. You got a shop lot and fill it up with digital nomads and you want to talk abt Malaysia and SG. Stop the BS!
This guy rented some shoplots and told the world he acquired an entire island.
People actually live there. Businesses actually exist there before he came in.
He didn't even bother to say his company is actually based in Malaysia. He didn't even bother to register for the correct business paperwork.
Instead it's all incorporated in Singapore but it is Malaysia that's giving him the tax break.
Literally every country will react the same way when someone openly says they’re trying to create a micronation on their land.
You try this shit in the US or Europe you’d have secret services at your doorstep within minutes.
This level of of bootlicking is insane.
@PammellaJo We truly understand it, Pamela and we also choosing side. In this case, we don’t want any relation or business with Israel and it’s ally. Ofc you would called us ‘ignorance’ because you are not Malaysian fullstop! so anything you said basically irrelevant to us
@PammellaJo What 'economic damage'?
Malaysia's own Silicon Valley aka #Cyberjaya generated US$69 billions in 2019 GDP alone.
@balajis (fake and unsubstantiated) RM100 million investment is unimpressive
A mansion in Kuala Lumpur cost RM100M, just as expensive as one Police station.
@PammellaJo We came back from what everyone thought was a country collapsing loss, a random indian dickhead pulling what amounts to 1/4th of the national fuel subsidy is something that is more than manageable
@PammellaJo The real ignorance is pretending you have the best vision in the world and you cannot accept the fact that we are opposing it. Childish. Our beliefs and culture are the core foundations we have instilled in us so if you don't like it, go back to your country.
@PammellaJo Absolute rubbish.
Malaysia 🇲🇾 already had own Silicon Valley, it's called #Cyberjaya since 1997
Genuine investor like Intel and Dell have been here since 1972
Had you @ns followed the right channels like MDEC, MITI, KDN and not disrespecting 33M Malaysians -- we won't be here
@PammellaJo blood money from israelis dont move us broski our ex prime minister stole buttloads more you think a mere hundred millions would get us foaming at the mouth???? lawak nak mampuuusssss
It means we Malaysians have spines and very firm in our beliefs. We don’t want any Israelis, Zionists and pro-Zionists in this country so which part did you fail to understand? We have MANY other ways to gain funds and money, and we definitely DO NOT need Balaji’s and NS.
Damn, they really don't know MSC Malaysia was a thing 🤣
We've been on the tech grind since 1996, and we survived the Asian Recession in 1997 and the big 2000.
These "tech" bros are dimwits. No wonder they fell for the grift 🤡
See? People in their circle says they are trying to build a micronation.
Tell me why shouldn’t I, as a Malaysian care or freak out???
Just because there are power dynamics and money, yall can whatever experiment you want on ‘backwaters near Singapore’?
Be for real
