Just plug the foreigners, they remit more money out of the economy than Singaporeans can ever hope to spend in JB.
I guess this would not help gdp figures as consumption counts in gdp but not fund transfer.

by the way bro, y u always go jpo so early?mind if i ask?hehhe
Last year, I was caught by TP bike for speeding at 160km/hour on PIE at 3am just along Toh Guan. He was kind enough to give me a 2nd chance after I pleaded with him in my Queens' English that I need my car liscense to put food on the table. Ever since, I dont dare to speed in Singapore.
The rise of Nusajaya has given me the chance to speed again. Its my hobby like how girls enjoy shopping for branded items.
I usually speed after I pass the Smart tag.. all the way into the darkness and till I reach JPO.. Exit it.. make a U turn before the Kulai Jusco and genting land and I will speed back to Singapore. Its exciting, fun and isolated. In Singapore there is no way we can do it. Its of no wonder mega companies prefer to shift direct into Iskandar instead of Singapore.
Singapore is a boring place. Accept that.

KUALA LUMPUR: China will buy more Malaysian government bonds and give the country a 50 billion yuan ($7.83 billion) quota to invest in Chinese stocks and bonds as it looks to strengthen ties with Southeast Asia. Premier Li Keqiang announced the moves at a business forum in Kuala Lumpur, state news agency Xinhua reported on Monday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apart from the 1MDB purchase, additional 50billion Yuan for Malaysia. This is what we called chequebook diplomacy.
Does it look like a sweetener from China for the HSR project?

So long as the commitment is for business purposes it should be fine as it will benefit all to some extent..
Hopefully these so called sweet heart loans won't end upin the cronies pockets
No wonder Najib is still in power. The more they support him the more goodies they'll receive. Great for the cronies.
Even the Penang 2nd bridge is built by them. In KL, the KTM Komuter trains are Chinese made. The Kl-Ipoh new rail cars also Chinese made.
Walk around KL or Iskandar, you see Chinese contractors building high rises. All these must be due to the baby Panda.
China is all out to win over the ASEAN nations and make their presence felt.
Their recent "invasion" clearly illustrated China's this.
SG is already in their pocket.
Thailand's junta govt is pivoting towards the Chinese. http://news.yahoo.com/under-junta-rule-thailand-pivots-towards-china-054631732.html
Winning the China / Thailand multi billion almost 900 km railway project, with intention to connect SE Asia peninsula to China further, strengthen the ties.http://www.globalconstructionreview.com/news/chinese-rail-project-thailand-re7a8d8y-go-official/
Just recently, Indonesia chose China over the Japs for their new proposed railway between Jakarta and Bandung because Beijing provided $5 billion in loans without asking for guarantees. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-30/indonesia-awards-major-rail-contract-to-china/6818082
And now, buying up 1MDB's fire sales asset that nobody wanted and injecting billions into the bond and stock in MY, China is doing everything that the US is wishing that they could too but unable.
And I'm not surprised that eventually the HSR will be awarded to the Chinese if MY/SG decided to proceed with the project next year.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that with the Chinese financing, the HSR will materialise soonest !
Not so soon as yet.
MY is critically short of hard cash right now due to the prolong low prices for oil and commodity like crude palm oil where MY is one of the biggest producer in the world.
Because of the massive flight of foreign funds this year, GICs were instructed to liquidate assets overseas to bring back $$$$ to the country to reinvest in MY and to buff up the RM.
And the just announced fire sales of 1MDB assets to China which suffered a loss of RM2.17 billion, (not including a few hundreds of millions USD financing fees and interest paid), clearly shows the desperation!
Furthermore, most financial management and investors still consider MY's political situation as risky.
well, never say never. With Chinese monies, many miracles can happen.
