I understand why Sime Darby and SP Setia would, being private companies (but still heavily government linked). But money from the EPF seems better invested domestically.

So please could we have some comments beyond the lazy and juvenile nostalgic Nimby nonsense so far displayed? This is a website concerned with design. Design is about solving problems.
