Although China upholds the principle of non-interference, but due to the ignorance of the opposition in this country, they had no choice but to speak out.
This follows a statement by the President of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that the Malays and the Chinese do not welcome investors from China. He said they are concerned that their livelihood will be threatened.
The disappointment of the powerful country over that 'stupid' statement by Muhyiddin were expressed by the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia without naming the former deputy prime minister.
The spokesman for the Chinese embassy had issued the rebuttal to emphasize the close relationship between the two countries and promote Chinese investments in Malaysia.
Maybe Muhyiddin was jealous of the ability of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who was able to attract an investment of RM144 billion in just one visit only. This is not impossible, more and greater investment can be brought in for the benefit of our citizens if this relationship continued from time to time.
The Pagoh MP also seemed to deliberately ignore when he decided to not dispute the investment on the construction of Petronas Twin Towers or KLCC.
If Muhyiddin was sincere in questioning the foreign investment, he should also condemned Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s action when building KLCC in a horse farm site owned by his own crony.
Does Muhyiddin not know that the architects, engineers and contractors that built KLCC were all from foreign investors? Not only that, till the point of completion of the twin towers, where were the Malays?
If we go to KLCC, it is very difficult for us to find a Malay premise in the building that Mahathir is very proud of. Unlike MRT in which Dato Seri Najib has announced that 50% of its retail space are for bumiputera.
Muhyiddin also did not know the statistics that in 2016, Malaysia was ranked 7th in the world's most visited country by the tourists. A total of 12.02 million people had visited Malaysia.
Tourists from China alone amounted to 2.2 million people by 2016. It was estimated that Chinese tourists were spending a total of RM3,500 for each visit to Malaysia, or an average of RM500 per day.
The expenditure made by tourists from China clearly showed that they prefer shopping in Malaysia. Over 50 per cent of that expenditure was spent on shopping.
So the allegation by Muhyiddin that China robbed the locals livelihood was untrue. Investors and tourists from China helped to prosper the economy of the locals.
Muhyiddin’s allegation that "China robbed the local’s livelihood" is absurd. Sin Chew reported that Muhyiddin made that statement in its paper on January 10, 2017.
Where did Muhyddin get the RM2 million that he spent on vacation to the oversea? If it’s not from Umno’s pot. Today he fights against whatever that is good from the government such as BR1M and donations for pilgrims under 1MDB.
Muhyiddin’s allegations about the country being sold to China is not true. The claim is merely an imagination of a person who was disappointed at the party.
