Ts1,
Tell me what kind of "long term investments" do you see from Kuwait? As long as NEP applies to foreign investment, they will not provide long term investment. Why should they?? They do not have to give up 30% in all other countries that they could invest and the market is larger.
Our long term investors (intel (-> Vietnam) , Dell (-> Singapore) ) are abandoning us too.

btw, KFH (frm islamic country) will not hv prob deal wif msia gov with regard of equity aka 30% NEP..if not, they will not even bother to start negotiate for RHB....al rajhi bank (spelling) hv been given "upperhand" to open up branches compare to citibank, S&C n etc....due to islamic banking
gov is promoting msia as a hub for islamic banking...we may hv more investment frm these countries...... we may not able to attract other funds but defintely we hv upperhand in islamic based products..........
whether these fund frm middle east sufficient enuf to hv impact on the growth of economy is another Q..
i dun see NEP beings lifted in near future simply becoz majority of malay still needs tongkat n blood sucking who know ppl still addicted to it...
