If The Technology Is So Unfeasible Then Why These Projects

These are all pilot projects to develop the concept. The technology is not mature yet and is not commercially feasible.

ABU DHABI: Former chairman and present consultant of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz Hussain has signed an agreement with His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan; Chairman Abu-Dhabi group, Union National Bank & United Bank Limited.

Under the agreement 45 billion dollars will be invested in Pakistan for various construction projects, which is the biggest and historical investment in Pakistan. Abu-Dhabi group has previously made huge and successful investments in Pakistan by the establishment of Bank Alfalah, Warid Telecom and Wateen Telecom.

Out of the total investment value 10 billion dollars will be invested in Federal Capital- Islamabad and Lahore (Punjab) whereas 35 Billion dollars will be invested in Sindh. These projects also include the construction of tallest building of the world (taller than Burj Khalifa, Dubai) in Karachi. Moreover, the project encompasses Sports city, Educational & Medical city, International city & Media city. The project also includes the construction of miniatures of Seven Wonders of the World.

These projects will employee more than 2.5 million people and will boost more than 55 industries like cement, bricks, iron, steel and glass. Moreover these projects are expected to represent all the social classes of the society and middle-class and lower-middle class will have equal representation.

The agreement will have a revolutionary impact on not only Pakistan’s economy but also tourism of the country and will be a milestone in reviving the lights of Karachi.

Speaking on the occasion, His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan expressed that Bahria Town not only represents modern Pakistan but is also a credible, respected and authentic name in the real estate sector world-over. “I am genuinely happy that in this historic project of Pakistan we are working with the visionary Malik Riaz Hussain, this guarantees that not only the project will be delivered beyond our expectations but also before time. We will Inshallah be welcoming first residents in next 3-4 years.”

Malik Riaz Hussain, former chairman and existing consultant Bahria Town, expressed his pleasure and said that it is a matter of great pride for me that His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan has selected us for making the dream come true for a modern and developed nation with this historical project. This is also a proud moment for Pakistan as such a huge foreign investment has never been made before.

A distinguished feature of this project is the utilization of seawater to produce electricity. The projects will have their own grid station.

Moreover, a separate modern water treatment plant will be established to convert seawater into drinking water. These features make this a landmark project in Pakistan, which addressing the current water & electricity issues of the country. Works on this monumental project will soon be starting.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE DEAL!

@somebozo @Redbull @muse @SHAMK9

Another blunder on its way first who is going to provide Electricity and in case of fire who is going to control it waste of money and time and nothing else 45 billion dollars please invest in power and education and health sector than wasting here

45 Billion Dollars for 1 Building is waste of funds, we could have had wonderful 20-30, 40 floor corporate centers and still done it under 1 Billion dollars.

The amount of 45 Billion seems ... way too much for Sky scraper




@@@ Read article again .. seems like the investment is spread out multiple projects 45 BILLION is huge considering our whole
National Deficit is around 80 Billion its almost half the amount of deficit we have that we are getting investment from UAE


One thing is for sure ... UAE deserves respect for this investment
Thank you for UAE

Dear If You Read The Economist Article Carefully Then You Will Know The Bahamian Govt. Will Build A Commercial Scale Project.Yes It Is In It's Early Stages.But Ocean Thermal Was My Assumption Either It Is OCET or Tidal Wave Or (Most Likely)Desalination

"Will" build means the future i.e. not in the present. Let's see whether they succeed.

Anyway, I hope this project is built in Pakistan with latest technologies for all things.

45 billion dollars! WOW, not bad. Congrat Pakistan!

 

[Parul]

Congratulations Pakistan for the Massive Investment

I wanted to ask question from Pakistani PDF Members, Is Malik Riaz Hussain the same guy who was exposed fixing/framing Interview with Media Person (I watched video wherein He was telling New Anchors the questions which they should ask him). There was also a Thread on PDF about this expose. I may be Wrong and the person who fixed the interview can be someone else......

Parul he is the same person who is famous for buying people and he was telling the anchors to ask specific questions. But what you Indians don't know is the fact that this fool has killed innocent people and took there lands and made money from it.

The time for the project is until 2025 I think. That is a long time during which a lot can change.
