The editors of the government-controlled newspapers were glossing and full of praise over the ‘successful’ Battersea bid.
It was quite nauseating.
The praises on the Malaysians ranges from conservation of heritage (of the British treasures of course), boosting the economies of the city of London, better relations with the British, etc. etc. etc…
Didn’t they hear the whispers around in London that the Malaysians ‘won’ because they offered so much money for the area that was abandoned for 30 years ?
A proposal for a theme park earlier also did not materialize ( this ‘theme park’ thing should make a particular Malaysian ‘Strategic’ Investment Company giddy with excitement ).
I can’t help but think that our people are still in awe and need the ‘pat in the back’ and admiration from the Mat Sallehs.
It’s that inferior syndrome all over again.
