I agree with you on this. Getting 100 million dollars investment is no achievement

Real achievement is abandoning your wife and running away for having "choti lulli" and then try to overcome that insecurity by conducting genocide of your own citizens who belong to a minority group to look macho

In fact, this is a good opportunity for Pakistan. Of course, $100 million should only be an experiment in the possibility of Toyota's investment in Pakistan.

In recent years, Toyota has been hoping to reduce production costs. Pakistan not only has relatively low labor cost, but also products made in Pakistan can enter the Chinese market without tariff.

Toyota is not a small company， and it does not do meaningless things. I think Pakistan should not ignore this opportunity.

This is the weaknesses in our car safety sales laws not Toyota fault that they are allowed to sell cars without those essential safety tools.
Why we are so eager to adopt and accept Western values but when it comes down to something useful for our own safety we choose to ignore it.

With regard to attracting investment, the most important issue in Pakistan is security, not corruption. Eliminating terrorists is the most urgent need.

Corruption is not the most urgent problem to be solved. This problem is very common, corruption exists in Bangladesh, ASEAN, China, India and other countries. The difference lies only in the severity of corruption.

Lol...you can't control your frustration in your comments, do not have credible argument to make on the subject, stooped down to level on calling names and abuse ...and I have inferiority complex?.....

Worthless souls like you can only be "Elite" on PDF..... enjoy the status and Thank Allah that you were at least considered of that worth (albeit falsely) by them.
