Malaysian press are rather quiet about this.
It would be a good thing for Malaysia if the plan becomes a reality. It will boost our tourism, offers job opportunities and raise our country’s name internationally.
Malaysia should be a good place for Disneyland to startup; we do have the crowd and Malaysians do like theme parks in general.
I am a bit skeptical on building it in Johor though; I am not really sure how Johor is like in recent years. Perhaps it could be a better place than Klang Valley, but I think building it somewhere near Kuala Lumpur is a better option.
