Warisan Merdeka Tower..Good or Bad?

Hrmmm..hrmmm..another big issue erupted in my beloved Malaysia..the latest proposal to build a 100-storey Warisan Merdeka Tower has raised the eyebrows of many. As usual, there will always be the emergence of both proponents and opponents whenever a new project is proposed. Our PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak defended the proposal as it is seen as an advantage to our country. It was claimed that the advantage includes being a centre of attraction as well as a new business hub that could potentially boost the economy.

On the other hand, there are many opponents that argue perhaps the money from the multi-billion project can be better spent on area such as further development in Sabah & Sarawak. Also, it is claimed that the project will be a waste of taxpayers' money. Even funnier was that i saw a picture about the board of directors in Permodalan Nasional Berhad. It consists of our PM as the chairman and deputy PM as the deputy chair man. I'm not sure who posted this but this person linked this picture with what our PM said in his defence for the proposal. As quoted by our PM:

"I did not ask PNB to undertake the project. It is something which the PNB management wants to see implemented," he told reporters after giving a closed-door briefing to Umno leaders in conjunction with the 2010 Umno General Assembly which started today. 

Essentially, what this individual is saying that our PM was the mastermind behind the proposal. At first, I was surprised to see that! I was like..hrrmm, our PM claimed that it was a decision by the PNB but at the same time he is the chairman of PNB? Being curious about the truth, I went to the PNB website and found out that our PM and deputy PM weren't part of the B.O.D at all in the 1st place! Hrrmm..why on earth is there individual who dares to damage the reputation of our leaders.. Even if you disagree with the proposal, the best way to prove your point is to provide a sound and logical argument..NOT through other evil means!

As from my point of view, I believe there are definitely both pros and cons of the proposal. It's easy for us to be influenced by what people say.. In fact, I believe nobody is absolutely right and nobody is absolutely wrong..
