Who cares if he may or may not be corrupt. At least he gets important and impressive things done. Much better than zardar/bhutto and the Sharifs who are corrupt AND get absolutely NOTHING done.

Malik Riaz gets done what he does because he makes money off getting it done. Where he makes money off it not being done it does not get done. He's running a business for himself. Please don't elect him as our future prime minister.

It's because of people worshiping corrupt people as long they "get things done" that Pakistan is a 3rd World Country.
If we demanded justice and rule of law for all, it would be a whole different country.

The 'Robber Barons' of America from many decades ago also took advantage of political connections and their wealth and became richer. But in the process, they created huge industries and infrastructure which employed tens of thousands of people, gave people mobility, and solidified America's position as the premier industrial power. Things got done, even if some of them of questionable ethics, but the country benefited. Same with the Baharia Town Karachi. Even Imran Khan recently defended Malik Ryaz when an anchor asked him about Mr. Ryaz's corruption. Imran Khan said something like "At least the money ($250 millions?) the UK govt. made Malik Ryaz pay to the Pakistan govt is being used to pay some of the penalty Malik Ryaz owe because of the Baharia Town Karachi corruption'. This is Imran Khan's pragmatism and for that he's to be commended.
And contrary to what some would say here: Most of the BTK land was barren, empty and had been for generations and would remain so for generations more. There are false claims to the land, driven by ethnic politics and opportunism, and also the Supreme Court made Malik Ryaz pay a huge penalty for his corruption.
Malik Ryaz is Pakistan's Robber Barron and he's is still better than stagnation and Baharia Town Karachi project is becoming one of the greatest achievements of Pakistan's real estate sector. Embrace it. It is not going anywhere!!

Aptly put. People often tend to forget what that land was before BTK came along.
And it's not just the Americans. These corrupt industrialists and businessmen were found all over Britian and Europe during the Industrial revolution. The Chinese had a fair share of these men during the 1980s and 1990s. Their malpractices have had unforeseen advantages in the larger picture and no I'm not justifying them at all. Most of these corrupt businessmen have retired or are dead by the time of the country becoming developed as Industry becomes regulated, law enforcement becomes efficient and corruption is taken seriously by the courts. What follows is healthy competition in a regulated environment.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I had seen some night footage which were really beautiful but this is the best day time footage I have seen. And that golf course is prettier than the 3 golf courses within 40 minutes of drive from where I live in America, not that I care for golfing.

Good point. Never thought of that.
Stagnation is the best enemy to the economy of a nation! As they say in Urdu: "Harkat me Barkat". Imagine, build, employ, provide mobility to people... Can anyone say with a straight face that had there not been the Baharia Town Karachi project there would be tens of thousands of jobs?
