Holy smokes, they're doggone persistent in pursuing the theme park idea at Nusajaya, aren't they? A day after Disneyland US said forget it, UEM is still adamant about making it happen, as if a theme park was the best idea since the creation of the universe. Just shows how dull these folks can be.

We have such beautiful natural resources unavailable to many countries, where tourists would give a dollar and a leg to experience, yet we choose to seek pop formulas set up by others. Dumb.

This fetish with theme parks is getting ridiculous - some clown Penang MP also has theme park ideas for Pulau Jerejak - and all this smacks of wanting to mirror Singapore's integrated resorts. There must be a word for this: If kleptomaniacs are people who uncontrollably steal, and megalomaniacs are people with fat egos, what do we call people who incessantly copy the efforts of others? The best I can come up is 'Sheep'.

Theme park, ptooi.

I suspect it may well have something to do with their place of work; ask the experts in environmental psychology. After all, the clowns with clout happen to be collected in the largest, most ridiculous theme park in the country modeled after the Arabian Nights. They call it Putrajaya.
