If Switzerland can become a high income nation without building high rise tower like Petronas twin tower?

100 storey building and other Mega project, then why can't Malaysia. Many European countries are able to do it. What the point of having many high rise tower if many of our people still live in poverty, doesn't have the access to proper education like in rural area of Sabah and Sarawak, Even in Kota Kinabalu itself i see many children accompany their mother who work as rubbish collector, or help their parents selling vegetable in the daylight, they do not have the means to go to school. For example Philippine they have 3 biggest shopping mall in Asia and yet they still remained a poor country. Isn't that better if the RM 5 billion is use to give public micro credit loan to start business, long term loan for SME. Without transparency, focusing on high tech, openness,developing human capital and trade liberalization but focus entirely on Mega Projects how actually we are going to be a high income nation. If you look at many high income nation politicians need the backing of the society, and need to be controlled by the society.

1. skyscrapers are not necessary to become a high income nation
2. High income means high income for the UMNOputras and the ketuans......not for the country... not for the ordinary Malays... not for you and me...... You mentioned Kota Kinabalu.... interesting.... Sabah has become the poorest state.... It was once the richest state...where people talk of lightig cigars with a RM100/= note......one chief minister [BN]even has his violin deliverd to him in London from Kota Kinabalu on a Boeing 707....as the only "passenger".....
3. With the present system where the federal government in KL sucking up money from the rich states, and return only peanut to these states, how these states can progress? Helping the poorer states is one of the example, however, majority of money is spent on KL. All states should retain control over their self-generated revenues and allocate 5% of the annual revenues to the KL federal government.
4. Bad institution dint know how to use the resources effectively because of government banditry, widespread waste, self-interested and ambitious people are in positions of power. Its an oppressive regulations.
5. Aiyah ..... by now you still don't know meh. "Orang bodoh and miskin senang kawal". Mega Projects are just ways for the Goverment official (in power) to launder population money into their own pockets. Contracts being given to companies control by family members. I wonder why the bumiputera's can not see through this charade? I guess it goes back to "Orang bodoh and miskin senang kawal". That's why government keep lowering the standard of education while Government officials send their own children to overseas for education with population money.
6. im wondering about the same question too. and the answer is...show off. if have too much money better cut down the percentage of income tax...which is sure wont happen.
7. I absolutely disagree to build 100 storey of building. whats the point here??? well.. more likely related to politic. i would rather agree if with the RM5Bill they improve and excel our public transportation! thats more important.
