Why do people consider the Pyramids of Gaza and the Great Wall of China to be something of pride? If it was to stand for something, it would be that anything is possible when you are willing to forget about welfare of many milions by subjugating them to cruel labour.
It's a shame that such projects are done in the first place. No one's life is worth any other person's bragging rights, pride, nor vanity.
Ironically, many of these same people are asking the government to scrap multimillion worth mega projects in favor for smaller stimuli that would benefit the poor more. What hypocrites.
Dr. Mahathir bin Mohammad probably spent so much tax-payer's money on building structures that look nice because he thought that in the end, it is these who people are proud and happy with. The sad thing is how popular history has given him this idea - how people have wrote about the greatness of the leaders who built it. Much worse however, is how people attribute such buildings to him in a positive light.
That's simply sad. Anyone knows how to spend. Give me a nation's money and ask me to spend it, I'll spend it anytime of the day, in what ever speed you want it be.
