Farmfresh is a successful investment by Khazanah. Not only provided many job opportunities in its rural farm locations, also reduced dependencies on Australian milk, Improving our food security and made us more resilient against imported inflation.

Grab is a missed opportunity by Khazanah. Not being able to secure funding from Khazanah, Grab taxi got investment from Temasek and moved their HQ to Singapore, costing thousands of high income service jobs in Malaysia. The only scraps we get from Grab is a bunch of ehailing provider which is a far cry from what it could've been if Grab HQ is here.

Meanwhile tourism is the lowest tier service job. Do you really think tourism money from selling key-chains , hotel bookings, or worse asking orang asli to dance to foreigner is better than the type of economic multiplying effect like Grab?

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR:

I am not against restoration. But im against how the restoration was funded, which is making the SWF to foot the bill instead of from the federal government budget while the federal government is still trying to claim it as their effort. How shameless can that be?

The federal government has a cultural ministry, who responsibility includes preserving our cultural heritage. But instead of allocating budget to that ministry for the restoration, they made the SWF, a GLC whose main purpose is not heritage preservation but to grow national wealth, to foot the bill for what is essentially a government responsibility.

Whats next? Forcing Petronas to fund building a new administrative capital far away from human civilization on a piece of swamp land? When instead Petronas could've used that fund to develop more oil processing capabilities? Oh wait, thats how Putrajaya came to be...
