Malaysia got lot of opperunities due to stupid decisions by SL govt ppl. I recall one incident which I heard from a elder.
After SL open the Katunayaka free trade zone Motorola came here to open a factory. All the initial planning were implemented. They were planning to place robotic equipments to place semiconductor components. Obviously a human cannot do them.
But our stupid ministers demand Motorola to stop using robotic equipments saying that it will minimize the opportunities for labours in SL. During this time Malaysia invited Motorola to their country. So they went and we lost a golden opportunity.
