Once upon a time, there was a grand plan to build Desaru International Resort in Johor. It flopped. Then, Melaka Gateway. It flopped. Heard of Forest City in JB? What's the common thread in all 3 wobbly mega projects? Think!
Those projects were approved by Najib and PH attacked him day & night which led to project delays & cancellations. Now it is PH time to show they are better than Najib or they are here to kencing sahaja.
Within the first 3 minutes of your video, anyone can see the foolishness of the plan. Fancy staying at a grand luxury hotel with views of shipyards, containers and oil shipping paraphenalia? Not good to mix luxury resorts with commercial shipping and container ship dockyards. Add in corruption and you have it.

That's the problem with Malaysian politicians. Grand ambitious projects when in Power as a symbol to denote their Leadership success and line the pockets of cronies at the same time as payback. In the end, everything flops because thr ROI is just not feasible after the juice is already drained away upfront and hoping for financing from new investors/blind fools to complete the project. That's the way most projects get done as no one wants to work anymore and all wants Quick monies.
That one was offered if buy villa in mainland chaina, they will get a property in forest city with Malaysian citizenship.. that what offered there. If you go to forest city sales office , you don't feel you are in chaina. Free unit in ghoscity with msian passport.
Port Klang already exists, so why not just enlarge / enhance that? how will port klag fare? did they do feasibility study? how do they plan to pull 60% of Port of Singapore business? Especially since a lot had to do w/ the oil refining business based in Singapore. Has the cruise business bounced back yet?
All down to corruption btw China and Malaysia garmen. They dun bother Port Klang since new development can give them big corruption money. Building an artificial land as port handling cargo vessel is a BIG DREAM ! How do stabilise a land stand alone within a few year ??? Sure crumble to pieces and talking only eco system problems.
It's called "vanity project" a.k.a. "i need to showcase that my leek is longer than others" project aimed for political mileages for certain types of people.
Bro.. port klang / port Penang / pasir gudang water seabed too shallow for their Warship to park la … so they buy & built la… those CCP claim later submarine need to guard the straight melaka .
I actually think that building just a cruise port is an excellent idea. I don't think Melaka would struggle to acconodate the influx of new tourists. Melaka receives tens of millions of tourists both locally and internationally. The infrastructure is already there, they need to just upgrade it. I also don't think attractions will be an issue, there are plenty of museums in Melaka and lots of attractions there. I don't like the original plan because for such a small city and much lower wages conpared to Kuala Lumpur, it doesn't make sense for the government to build so many high end condominiums abd luxury shopping malls. It also will make Melaka status as Malaysia historical city less authentic. Lets not create too many skyscrapers in Melaka. Lets keep the old city vibe to it and keep it authentic.
Agreed. Why go and reclaim the land which will cause harm to the environment and ecological inbalance? Malacca is not a state that is short of land, it still has plenty of land to develop whatever tourists attraction it wants. Just don't touch the beautiful beaches and sea.
Not sure about cruise port. Most cruise packages only have time to stop at 1 city per country. If the viewpoint is on state-benefit, then yes. National benefit, then maybe no - left hand fight right hand. Im very skeptical on the involvement of China in all these projects. Usually we see much of these condo's being bought by them as investments (Forest City). If the project is bought to completion, then these residences will remain empty as they will mostly be just holiday villas. I'm also not sure what other terms did the Najib administration negotiate with China - China focus isn't just earning a few bucks, usually they've a far greater motivation in political or strategic interests. Malaysia's governance has never been transparent so we will never know.
@@johntan2346 I suspect the Masterplan is done by the Chinese, the styling looks very similar to Forest City. China led/biased projects tend to be heavy on infrastructure per their expertise. Frankly, it might just be to inflate the project cost and to position themselves as invaluable to the project. At the end, the only Chinese company that remain engaged is a reclamation company. You're right in that similar objectives can very likely be achieved just by using existing coastlines. Furthermore, if you were to take a visit to Forest City, the coasts on the artificial island is pretty shitty - definitely not a beach you'd wanna walk on.
The project was scaled down from a port to a cruise terminal and the resized project is now valued at RM682 million, which is considerably smaller than the reported RM40 billion for the entire development of all four islands.
someone coined 2020 Malaysia Boleh = Malaysia Can...except it should have been Malaysia CAN'T (tak boleh)... in August 1996 a fanfare announcement of MSC - zone where digital etc will build smart city etc -fizzled out because no brains to be tapped hence expats to man this project resulting in flop...then Forest City flops and Melaka Gateway flops...all these mega projects only line the pocket books of the current PM at that time
Every projects and plans are always beautiful on drawing but end up becomes ghost towns wasting resources, just one words all due to greed that caused all hardship to ordinary folks suffering and damaged to environmental issues and lose of animals and living species of their habitats.
before you do anything big in malaysia, spend some time in the country to observe the people, their lifestyle and habits, what business works and doesn't. how on earth did they think such a project like this could be supported and maintained?
Msia never short of ports. We have Penang, KL and Johor ports that competing so adding new ports will only spell disaster. This new Melaka Gateway should be more on tourism focus. I do think they will have higher chance of success with artificial beach coast (or island ) type of resort hotels tourism (west Msia seems short of it). Theme park is another of it but sustainability is always a challenge. Anyway, all these will equally doom without proper infra support, just the traffic alone entering Melaka will kill
This is not the corruption of the project. Chinese failed because of the bankruptcy of the pandemic period, after all, it does not help the local population, just the Chinese investors.
Same fate with Forrest city Johore. Project needs people to be successful. Yet Malaysia once made mm2h so difficult that even existing applicants left for other countries.
Najib was a greedy leader but he approved these projects for commission from his Chinese friend Low Taek Jho, who was Penang born and a staunch supporter of Chinese DAP. DAP protected Low Taek Jho from prosecution in return for bribes. Lim Guan Eng is linked to the criminal Low Taek Jho who holds a Cyprus passport.

The state and national governments do not do proper viability studies on any mega project especially the ones involving investors from China. They are always very quick to be impressed with the scale of the project without thinking whether it will work financially or not. The Chinese are keen on them because they can make money from the construction works. Take this project and ECRL for example. Both of which are ridiculous projects. For ECRL, how many companies would be stupid enough to send their cargo from Port Klang to the Kuantan port by train. They might as well ship the goods from Port Klang. How many people will take the passenger trains from Kelantan and Terengganu to KL on weekdays? I am sure ECRL will start making huge losses once it is operational. This is how many many countries fell into the Chinese debt trap. There is nothing wrong with working with them but the project must be viable and makes sense in the first place.
And all the contractor are from mainland,using their worker from mainland and all machinery are imported from their country and even 1 screw and nuts also didnt buy from our local store...ha ha.....malu apa bussku😂😂😂😂😂😂
No longer viable...a little too late. Even the cruise terminal will take a beating when tourist arrivals from these huge cruiseliners see the ugly abandoned and uncompleted buildings . Such an awful scene to behold.😢
I still remember when the sales person of this project handed me this mega project flyers. the price is reasonable for a marina city (comparison to Phuket, Langkawi). I almost signed for booking. almost. I only ask 1 question. if this is marina city, where is the berth? can you believe? they have no plan to build a berth in marina city?
Spending money to rural area is considered wasting money but spending large funds on a single useless project will give economy impact to surroundings. Bribery at its best!! Long Live Malaysia!!!
Yeah. How can you mix container ports and tourist ‘hot sport’ Singapore is relocating their final few container ports to the mega Tuas port, away from the commercial areas.
Interesting 🤔. Forgot about this mega project totally. 2014-2024 - only 10 years time space yet so much as happened and is still happening. Well, like the Chinese believe - Feng Shui Lun Lao Chuen - can we blame the wind and water elements or the shortsightedness, or lack of foresight or man s limited ability to control his fate and fortune??? However despite the odds it is a wise decision is to scale down the project and salvage whatever one can to minimise losses.
The whole area is like a ghost town. Previous development in that area of shoplots (built but unoccupied), a mall (abandoned and incomplete) and smaller hotels are not doing well. The idea is good but the project is way too grand.
Great report! However please do actually use video and stock footage from Malaysia, you are showing video footages that looks like from Sri Lanka or somewhere...(video at 5:15)
Malaysia has to built High Speed Rail to connect from Singapore to China to replace air travel. Future of air travel will cause more unpredictable turbulence
The strange thing is that everywhere before a project is approved it is subject to a lot of scrutiny. Among which the people involved the communities etc. had they not protested BEFORE THE FIRST land was moved? Were they not heard. The PM himself was opposed to the project and still it went fwd? Was that to prove that there is a better democratic system there than anywhere? What a wasteof everything.
I have been to both Malacca and Penang tourist spots. Honestly speaking, i would rather spend my tourist dollars in Penang than Malacca. Sorry to say, there is not much tourist attractions in Malacca as compared to Penang
The developer once came to promote the project in Penang. I happened to be in conversation with the salesperson. Luckily I opted not to buy into their promises.
counted myself lucky too. When they developer promoted the project in Singapore many years ago, I almost bought one residential unit. Luckily, I had not signed on the dotted lines. 😅
Melaka is a dead city. Investors learned their lessons well. Poor infrastructure. The road access to this man made island is small and narrow. Traffic jam always. Don't waste your time.
It is it easy to daydreaming, without concerning the practicality of such dream. Tourists won't flock just because all the luxuries in the middle of nowhere that only a handful people know.
You guys don't get it ! The aim from the onset was for the project to fail and be written off. The main purpose is to secure contracts for the politicians and cronies. From contracts, fast bucks are made. The next mega project will be in Trengganu. They are planning to build a data centre there.
Wiki " Melaka Gateway is an off-shore development of artificial islands in Malacca, Malaysia. It was launched on 7 February 2014 by Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib ..." says everything ..
Why do you use inaccurate footage for this video? You’ve used videos of protests in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Forest City in Johor (Malaysia) to talk about Melaka Gateway. This is misleading, disingenuous, irresponsible at best! Do better!
And they steal Sand in Indonesia. Several times, Indonesian Authority caught Malaysian Ships that are stealing sand in Indonesia. Singaporean Ships also steal sand in Indonesia to enlarge their land.
The riot show in this video is not in Malacca. If you dont have the real footage, don't put in your video. Im not against anyone, but it may lead to bad impression to Malacca state and people.
Right...... Maglev 500 GEMAS - BENTONG- MACHANG- YALA - HADYAI - SURAT THANI - BANGKOK This HSR runs on ELEVATED TRACK all along at the Speed 500 km per hour using Magnetic Levitation Train.. The total cost some Rm 300 billions
It was powerchina's idea, or rather the ccp's idea. This would have been a secondary shipping dock. The reason being the close proximity to the south china sea. The residential project in johor, which has also stalled, is to place their personnel. Remember the port in gebeng, which was totally closed to the public eye, is also for the same reason. Once all this is set, china controls the whole south china sea's trading route
And its happen during most corrupted leader which took attention from world media.....he put much donut to old people at the village and felda to shutdown their mouth and gain support,but younger and educated voters dont fool to kick him out....yeahh...Gebeng story thats nobody talk so much,media also threaten to shut down their mouth from cover any story og Gebeng
There is a pattern of it. If one do notice, the bigger project it is, the higher chance it will fail. So far most of the MEGA billions project all fail in one way or another
People need to look at all the shoddy construction of the existing ones and run from buying all these garbage of so call construction. I am wondering who sign off all these completed projects!
Please read more about SMWEZ project😅 and fyi, the project has to be stopped for a period of time (dunno when will it end) becuase of objection from Unesco. Currently, they are asking again permission from Unesco to allow them to do development there😅😊
I don't think it's linked to the Chinese. It's more like too much political intervention. When will politicians stop involving in private sector projects. Don't they learn every time they intervene, they are putting Malaysia decades behind Singapore? If this continues I think one day they will stop getting support from the core of the popular support, the very Malays.
I've never seen a port that's not connected to the land - roads and rail connections for freight! To take 60% of Singapore's global shipping trade. What amateurs, looks like a scam from Day One. An expensive white elephant 🐘
As an Architect. The mistake of the Project is the Intern. Port. You can not have 6* or 7* luxury hotel and condominiums with the Intern. Port before them and blocking the view plus endless of daily trucks moving goods on bridge that does not exist on the model. The Architects of this project are completely idiots.
Mega project and sort doesn't keep in mind the population in Malaysia. We just 30 million not billion population like china, still we struggle with economy and minimum wage. Plus with the different culture from other country, best to describe Malaysian are 'Unmaterialistic, chill and spoiled'. The term laid back country for retired people are not wrong actually.
I hope u some some research on South East Asia before you put up the footage. You put footage of Thai police and people protesting instead. Malaysia is a different country bro. This has greatly brings down the creditability of your video.

A commercial port in front of a touristic mini city would look pretty ugly.
No worries. China will come in to support💪🖐
Wiki " Melaka Gateway is an off-shore development of artificial islands in Malacca, Malaysia. It was launched on 7 February 2014 by Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib ..." says everything ..
Why do you use inaccurate footage for this video? You’ve used videos of protests in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Forest City in Johor (Malaysia) to talk about Melaka Gateway. This is misleading, disingenuous, irresponsible at best! Do better!
And they steal Sand in Indonesia. Several times, Indonesian Authority caught Malaysian Ships that are stealing sand in Indonesia. Singaporean Ships also steal sand in Indonesia to enlarge their land.
The riot show in this video is not in Malacca. If you dont have the real footage, don't put in your video. Im not against anyone, but it may lead to bad impression to Malacca state and people.
look at hainan phoenix project , they also reclaimed land to build malls and condo whereas there’s still plenty of land on hainan island.
Right...... Maglev 500 GEMAS - BENTONG- MACHANG- YALA - HADYAI - SURAT THANI - BANGKOK This HSR runs on ELEVATED TRACK all along at the Speed 500 km per hour using Magnetic Levitation Train.. The total cost some Rm 300 billions
Never short on ideas
It was powerchina's idea, or rather the ccp's idea. This would have been a secondary shipping dock. The reason being the close proximity to the south china sea. The residential project in johor, which has also stalled, is to place their personnel. Remember the port in gebeng, which was totally closed to the public eye, is also for the same reason. Once all this is set, china controls the whole south china sea's trading route
Case in example, the hambantota port in sri lanka.
And its happen during most corrupted leader which took attention from world media.....he put much donut to old people at the village and felda to shutdown their mouth and gain support,but younger and educated voters dont fool to kick him out....yeahh...Gebeng story thats nobody talk so much,media also threaten to shut down their mouth from cover any story og Gebeng
orang Msia di negeri2 lain pun tak berapa tahu pasal perkara ni ,projek yang begitu besar.
there are abundant land in malaysia, why would the project reclaim land in the first place ?
Any mega building projects that links with any china's enterprise were deem to end in failure. Malaysia sure paid a extreme high price to learn.
There is a pattern of it. If one do notice, the bigger project it is, the higher chance it will fail. So far most of the MEGA billions project all fail in one way or another
Masy'Allah Allahuakbar Permudahkan urusan kami semuanya aamiin 😊😊😊😊Hello 👋.. NAMPAK GAYA KENA JUGAK MAKAN LUNCH..GULAI HIJAU IKAN SIAM N TERUNG..ALAMAK 😭😩😞🤤🤤✌️
People need to look at all the shoddy construction of the existing ones and run from buying all these garbage of so call construction. I am wondering who sign off all these completed projects!
Another example Melaka Tram Project launched by Najib. What the heck happen to it? Anybody got rich?
Please read more about SMWEZ project😅 and fyi, the project has to be stopped for a period of time (dunno when will it end) becuase of objection from Unesco. Currently, they are asking again permission from Unesco to allow them to do development there😅😊
I don't think it's linked to the Chinese. It's more like too much political intervention. When will politicians stop involving in private sector projects. Don't they learn every time they intervene, they are putting Malaysia decades behind Singapore? If this continues I think one day they will stop getting support from the core of the popular support, the very Malays.
Truly Malaysian dilemma.Politicians with grandiose dreams.Not so great at working out details.
Misleading footages. 90% of the clips were not Malaysia's. It was a misrepresentation.
Why don’t just they spend the money to enhance the utilities, maintain and re-improve the existing facilities and properties.
As Debbie Gibson would sing about all these projects-
It was only in my dreams!
a mosque was built on the Melaka Gateway, and since then, no one is allowed to sell alcohol. Brilliant.
I've never seen a port that's not connected to the land - roads and rail connections for freight! To take 60% of Singapore's global shipping trade. What amateurs, looks like a scam from Day One. An expensive white elephant 🐘
Seems to always be the same Prime minister with cancelled projects. Guy probably set Malaysia back 20 years
Didnt malaysia have a cabotage policy?
to gain something we have to lose something. A lot of old malls can be rebuild as something else like a park
Not surprising. Projects in Malaysia fail consistently.
As an Architect. The mistake of the Project is the Intern. Port.
You can not have 6* or 7* luxury hotel and condominiums with the Intern. Port before them and blocking the view plus endless of daily trucks moving goods on bridge that does not exist on the model.
The Architects of this project are completely idiots.
Mega project and sort doesn't keep in mind the population in Malaysia. We just 30 million not billion population like china, still we struggle with economy and minimum wage.
Plus with the different culture from other country, best to describe Malaysian are 'Unmaterialistic, chill and spoiled'. The term laid back country for retired people are not wrong actually.
For those MNC wanting to invest in Malaysia...think again
I hope u some some research on South East Asia before you put up the footage. You put footage of Thai police and people protesting instead. Malaysia is a different country bro. This has greatly brings down the creditability of your video.
