Another 19 entry point projects (EPPs) worth RM67bil in investments are now part of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the projects from 10 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) would generate RM36bil in gross national income and create 35,000 new jobs.

To me, I see this announcement as a very good one. Another RM67billion pumped into our economy can only mean one thing - a good thing. Having ExxonMobile partner Petronas Carigali to invest in new oil and gas assets, upgrading of Shell's facilities, and even studying the possibilities of using nuclear power as a source of energy for the future - some of the oil and gas based projects that were announced.
...and then of course, the Health Metropolis, or Medical City - the one by Universiti Malaya with an investment of RM1.25billion. That would generate plenty of activity for Jalan Universiti and PJ, and it would drive the economy up in this area. The Mines Wellness City, to be developed by Country Heights is kinda ambitious, but I do like the idea - that would generate plenty of exposure and investments for the Seri Kembangan area. The MRT... that is by far the most exciting announcement of them all in this.
Apart from all that, a couple of projects attracted me a lot...
The Damansara City 2 Project. This project is next to the Twins Damansara development that I am constructing right now - and this Damansara City project can only mean even more exciting things ahead for Bangsarians and Damansara residents.
The Teluk Datai development. Upgrading of the resort and so on...
Langkawi, anyone?
The YTL development at Pulau Gaya in Sabah.
I just cant wait!!!!!
