Re: Pakistan to build the World’s tallest building in Karachi
- Inferiority complex? Pardon me, but your superiority complex doesn’t have much going for it. For as long as projects flop, I’ll be right there pointing at you and laughing.
If you meant to imply I think Pakistani projects are inferior - I do.
- Are you disillusion? This 1,947 foot high building has political ploy written ALL over it, and that sure as heck makes it political. When was the last time a 2,000 foot building was built without government subsidies. No private effort of such caliber is ever without government support AND involvement. Especially in Pakistan where cronies love poking their noses around, heck, didn’t Musharaf personally announce the project? Isn’t Shaukat Aziz at every other super market opening? Are our power plants really private?
This is a private effort, and our government is smart enough to tag along for a cut. Siemens snatches your energy sector for pennies, and your government gets a pat on the back for modernizing. Yay! In Pakistan, it doesn’t matter if it’s private or not, they collude. Good luck trying to differentiate the two when you have the president of Pakistan thanking himself for one of the “worlds tallest building”. Private investors + political tool = mutual cooperation. Together as one.
For your own good, stick to projects that can be realized (ex. Karachi Financial Towers). There are many other projects in Pakistan…real projects. Not political attempts at international fame or local popularity. It must hurt to clap, whistle and taunt as much as you do.
PS. You sure love the novelty of a 1,947 foot high building. Damn patriotic whiner.
