Sri Lanka Denied Freehold Status For Chinese, Allowed Only 99 Year Lease

The Chinese super developer 'CCCC' or China Communications Construction Company is building an RM57 billion (US$13 billion) mega-port and coastal development  in Sri Lanka (just like in Melaka, Carey Island and Johor).

However the Sri Lankans did not allow the Chinese any freehold land status. 

They only gave the Chinese '99 year leasehold land status".  

And the Chinese agreed.

My comments :   Sri Lanka itu maybe less bodoh than our folks.  
They allowed the Chinese 99 Year lease only.
And the Chinese agreed !

Why do the locals always have to be so stupid? 

Mubadalla lah, Unta Shaggers lah, JoLo lah, Liwat-me lah. Now Freehold land lah !
