Could be political pressure or even contractual clauses..wouldn't know for sure unless one has the inside scoop.
Chelsea Premium Outlet? You mean Johore Premium Outlet?
Such a place does not interest me but I have brought overseas guests and business associates there for lunch so for me, it does serve a purpose.
That is the risk of investing in a foreign country. We can moan/complain all we want but we have no or little say. Although I think it has improved compared to the Lot 1, Pacific Mall days. Thus I think it best that those interested to invest or stay here, do their own homework and due diligence rather than just depending on what has been posted online. I do not wish to be held accountable for a decision that you may regret.
