Are the Chinese running out of money?

First there was this story yesterday,

Bandar Malaysia agreement with IWH CREC lapses


Then it was followed by this one,

IWH CREC disputes TRX City claims over lapsed Bandar Malaysia stake sale deal


I was like "Hey, what's going on?"

These are indeed weird developments.

I really thought it was all a done deal.

Well, I still remember the big news back then in Dec 2015,

1MDB sells Bandar Malaysia land to

 Johor, Chinese consortium


It actually sounded quite good at that time - Bangsa Johor and Bangsa Cina building a city for Bangsa Malaysia :)


Now I do wonder what really went wrong.

All that's known so far is that IWH CREC can't pay the needed sum to buy the 60 per cent of the project.

Maybe it got something to do with this,

China's capital controls start biting


Don't know lah.

Maybe it's just that they don't have real money.

All the hype about the Chinese having all the money in the world may not be true after all.

Somehow this whole thing reminds me of this news from back then,

RM22 billion Mersing Laguna project cancelled 


If you bothered to click on the above link, please however not believe in everything written in the story.

There's a story behind that story which only those who were directly involved in the project from start until its cancellation could tell.

I can't. Don't feel like spending nights in a lock-up, okay.

Well, never mind.

I'm actually not so disappointed that the Chinese are out of the Bandar Malaysia project.

Maybe without them I can get this wish of mine for the KL- Singapore High Speed Rail project,

May the Japanese beat the Chinese on the HSR


Back then when it was made known that the Chinese have a foothold in the Bandar Malaysia project, which the HSR will start in KL, I thought the Japanese were out of the race.

Now their Shinkansen bullet train got a better shot for the HSR project.

  7. If I'm not mistaken, the proceeds from IWH CREC would only be realized in year 2022. However... Don't worry.
    Bahrain is going to open an Embassy... of-course not in Putrjaya. They cannot be renting office space, can they?

    This must be good news to 1MDB-Jho Low. Bought primeland at ridiculously low price from the Rakyat, then sell at market-value to willing buyer.

  8. If the Japanese win, the rail project will only connect KL to Spore. That's it. If the Chinese win, the rail would be a China to Spore project.
    If Malaysia and Spore choose the Japanese, they better be content with a small scale project. I hope the economics work out.
    If the Chinese had won the HSR, Malaysia would have gained a regional hub of China companies, rail manufacturing/servicing factory, and easy financing. China might not worry if the HSR made economic sense as it was a part of a prestige project.
