Malaysia's 8 Wonders
1. THE ZAKARIA 'PALACE'
The only building built with no approval and unpaid assessment fees that is not demolished and sealed. The owner is the first bankrupt to be able to own a palace ( Dato Zakaria Deros, the Selangor State Assemblyman for Port Klang )
Estimated total cost of RM5 million
2. THE BOCOR PARLIAMENT
The unique feature is its ability to 'leak' away billions of taxpayers money while the guardians of the nation stood there all wet. ( after a RM85 million renovation of Parliament House, the Dewan Rakyat ceiling can spring a leak, drenching the chamber, disrupting power supply for the whole Parliament House and bringing parliamentary proceedings to an abrupt and disgraceful end!)
3. 'UNHAUNTED' KUCHING PRISON
The only $128M prison in this world that is free of haunted stories and encounters.
Reasons - No execution was done here before. In fact no prisoners were held in here. There are also no concrete walls with barbed wires to contain souls - both dead and alive.
Maybe it can qualify as the first imaginary prison built with real money.
( expected to complete in Aug 2000 )
4. PAYA INDAH 'WASTED' WETLANDS
The nation's premier eco-tourism park holds the record in the category of attracting more lawyers with litigation than tourists with binoculars.( RM32 million Project closed down )
5. 'NOT SO' SMART TUNNEL
Uniquely designed to alleviate floods. When completed, it does everything except alleviate floods.
SMART is an acronym for Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel,a project under the Federal Government initiated to alleviate the flooding problem in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. The project is implemented through a joint venture pact between MMC Berhad and Gamuda Berhad with the Department of Irrigation And Drainage Malaysia and the Malaysian Highway Authority as the executing government agencies. ( RM2.1billion Project which is not working as its suppose to be )
The one and only high tech city in the world that offers limited or no internet connection to its residents. ( Dubbed as the IT City of Malaysia, there are still residents around cyberjaya who has failed to get internet connection.)
7. CROOKED 'CROOKED' BRIDGE
The most crooked bridge in the world dreamt by a most crooked mind.
Too bad it was abandoned; otherwise it would make it as one of the wonders. It will end up costing more NOT to build than it would have to actually build it.
Malaysia will pay 87 million dollars in compensation to a developer over last year's cancellation of a controversial "crooked bridge" to Singapore.( a RM2 billion project washed down the drain )
8. THE 1ST MALAYSIAN ASTRO MAN
BLASTED OFF TO NOWHERE WITH MILLIONS OF RAKYAT MONEY BURNT IN 10 DAYS FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE SPACE EXPEDITION HAS ENTERED INTO THE MALAYSIAN GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS AT 10 PM ON 0CT 10, 2007. BRAVO!
A Rm25million Project and ( its mission ) spend on ;
1.Making teh-tarik in space
2.Eating Petai and Durian in space
3.Possible cure of HIV virus ?
Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, the first of Malaysia’s astronaut
