Kuat betul Balaji ni cuba putar belit dan kencing rakyat Malaysia. Macamlah kita semua tak cerdik

(1) company yg run Network school tu berdaftar di Singapore dan bayar tax di Singapura bukan Malaysia

(2) Forest City is tax free..celah mana dia bayar tax?

(3) lesen yg dia dapat dari PBT hanya lesen untuk pejabat urus niaga, bukan bina sekolah

(4) cer google success story dia dalam bisnes, hampeh semua rugi. perkataan “flops” merata-rata

(5) tiada start-up Malaysia diambil dalam Network School, celah mana sumbangan dia kepada rakyat Malaysia?

(6) konsep dia ni pun dia ciplak dari Pospera di Honduras. cer google apa jadi pada Kerajaan dan Negara Honduras sekarang bila Prospera dah jadi “state within a state” dan kuat dan ancam kedaulatan Honduras

Take responsibility! You’re the MB. You were the MB when it started. Masa elections mengaku semua yg elok you punya.

[Scott Chen @alreadydawn]

A path forward between @balajis Network State and Malaysia was always impossible the moment this drama blew up.

1. The Malaysians are livid with Balaji and team's "an island next to Singapore" disrespect. No politician there can survive the blowback for backing Balaji.

2. Balaji would be crucified by world Jewry had he dared to comply with Malaysia's strict no-Israeli policy, which has been in place since the 70s.

Malaysia does not recognize Israel and forbids its citizens from entering the rogue terrorist state. Hell, their passports literally say, "This passport is valid for all countries except Israel." Based and redpilled, by the way. If only more countries had their cojones.

⚠️ July 2026: Network School Controversy
Founded by: Balaji Srinivasan (Silicon Valley entrepreneur)
Main Issues
🛂 Allegations involving Israeli nationals using second-country passports.
🇲🇾 Concerns over immigration compliance and national sovereignty.
🏛️ MBIP issued a cessation order over alleged licensing and signage non-compliance.

🏛️ Government Response
🔎 Johor Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi ordered a multi-agency investigation.
🇲🇾 Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said anyone found violating Malaysian immigration laws would face enforcement, including deportation where applicable.
🛂 Immigration authorities inspected hundreds of foreign residents to verify their identities and immigration status.

💬 Balaji Srinivasan's Response
• Denied wrongdoing.
• Said the allegations were unfounded.
• Stated licensing matters were being addressed.
• Postponed a planned RM500 million expansion indefinitely.

🌐 Bigger Picture
📈 Foreign investment
💡 Technology innovation
⚖️ Regulatory enforcement
🛂 Immigration compliance
🇲🇾 National sovereignty

🤝 Malaysia × Silicon Valley
The Network School dispute has strained relations between parts of the Silicon Valley tech community and the Malaysian government, illustrating the importance of balancing openness to global innovation with compliance with Malaysian laws and regulations.

🚆 What's Next?
The Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS Link (2027) and SFZ incentives are expected to play a key role in determining whether Forest City can become a sustainable financial and innovation hub.

⚠️ No Future?: JS-SEZ & Forest City
For some Malaysians, the Forest City and Network School controversy has become part of a broader debate about the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).
Conservatives worry about:
🇲🇾 National sovereignty
🛂 Immigration enforcement
⚖️ Whether regulations can keep pace.
💸 Mixed dirty money.
🐷 Economic sectors becoming mixed up.
Key takeaway: The Network School episode has heightened public sensitivity around the JS-SEZ, reinforcing calls for strong governance, transparent regulation, and effective enforcement while Malaysia pursues international investment.

Projek pembangunan PKNS under Selangor.

Forest City development under Johor.
So kuasa under Johor.

First time dengar KDN ada kuasa atas pembangunan Forest City.Which law kata KDN ada kuasa atas mana2 bandar Malaysia?

[dil @khylnq]

@KlutzyKucing "not my country, I'm from Johor you know"

hal "negara" sendiri, salah kan kerajaan lain pulak HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAU

[KucingKerongKuantan @KlutzyKucing]

Akhirnya dia pun bersuara pasal Network School kat Forest City.

Dan macam biasa lah, bukan salah dia. Tapi salah orang lain 😂

[アズハル @aaajehaaa]

Segala benda yg baik datang dari Johor. Yang buruk semuanya datang dari Persekutuan. Sama kes 7 pemain palsu. Sampah betul perangai

[BULETIN RMS @RajaMohdShahrim]

Fuck Off lah boneka TMJ..
Projek tu terang terang diluluskan oleh kerajaan negeri, Forest City projek Sultan Johor dan Country Garden (developer China).
Pusing macam mana pun akan balik point asal, kerana itu Tun M dulu mahu tutup terus Forest City ni kerana tiada faedah pada negara.
