So saddened by this...I cried. Not proud of it but hey, an understatement compared to this rant. I never knew this before I left the country and I'm so sorry to say that this is one of the reasons why I did leave... Helplessness and hopelessness with our govt. This is just so downright absurd that I can't believe there's not one decent body of govt left to check these numerous, inhumane projects. I'm now going to research more about this and if there has been any developments on the complaints. I will not, and will refuse to as long as I can, let this go silently. Thank you for the informative rant, MM. Agh, I didn’t hear about this at all but here and it’s crazy that I read it just now!

Too bad they look awfully ordinary it would be so hard to convince anyone they really cost that much to build. Any investigation made into this yet? This country is totally hopeless and I really hope I could be proven wrong in the foreseeable future. More power to you! Cheers!
