I remember Malaysia had a “Look East” policy of trying to emulate the Japanese’s own success, without being too dependent on other countries. The Japanese have this drive to be different and are always one step ahead of others in terms of innovation and creativity. Not sure if that explains the high number of suicides there but anyway, that’s a different topic.
Now the Japanese has shown us how they can build something so modern and yet, still make way for nature, something that we Malaysians didn’t learn. Here we bulldoze the rainforests and bush to make way for shopping malls and parking spaces. Every inch is for rent.
Have a look at Namba Parks, located in Osaka, Japan.
