Lahore to get its own 'Disneyland'

[Husnainshah]

to what? gabbing land or land being grabbed?

lol. Where'd that come from? You do realize there's way to get land in Pakistan besides force, don't ya?
I was talking about emotional attachment to the land.

if you can afford to go abroad you can afford word class entertainment facilities


Do tell me how these people will pay for it?


so much anger? Like I said no one is stopping you from entertainment but it is natural for one to ask about other projects which have been advertised but are yet to be started!

Most of the time when it is linked to housing scheme or large projects...it ends up in land grab...Yes I have emotional attachment to the whole of Pakistani land

2.5 million

people paying 1 million for anything should be taxed 50% coz such people are USUALLY the ones who dont pay tax!

Well said.


How on earth can you spend a foreign company's money on government hospitals when the party investing wants to build and operate a theme park?

Is it on a build operate transfer basis ? or is it a loan, if its a loan, then they have to repay it, so technically govt has to pay for it !!!

 

[ryzvonusef]

How do you think land will be acquired? People moved and compensated by Pakistani govt as per the agreement....Konsa Noon league is paying from their pockets? Stupid comment if you think national treausre is = unka paisa!

compensated by Pakistani govt as per the agreement.

You are definitely a troll.

Here is the agreement:

Punjab Board of Investment and Trade Signs an Agreement and Facilitates the MoU between Golden Bean Group China and Labour Department Government of the Punjab | pbit.gop.pk

Punjab Board of Investment and Trade Signs an Agreement and Facilitates the MoU between Golden Bean Group China and Labour Department Government of the Punjab

As a direct result of Punjab Board of Investment and Trade’s relentless efforts to promote Punjab as an ideal destination for investment, an agreement to establish a state of the art amusement park was signed on November 12, 2015 at Pearl Continental Hotel, Lahore.

The agreement was signed between a Chinese construction group and 3 provincial bodies. Government of the Punjab, Punjab Board of Investment and Trade, Parks & Horticulture Authority and Golden Bean Group China signed the agreement.

According to the agreement Golden Bean Group (GBG) will establish and operate a world class amusement park in Lahore comprising of a theme park, five star hotel, shopping centre, water park, business centre, aquariums, roller coasters and indoor/outdoor rides. Government of the Punjab, PBIT and PHA will provide respective support and facilitation to the Golden Bean Group with regard to its efforts in establishment of the project.

It was also agreed that Punjab Board of Investment and Trade will provide facilitation to Golden Bean pertaining to land buying, business to business meetings and in declaring the acquired piece of land for Them Park as Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

Punjab Board of Investment and Trade also facilitated the MoU between a Chinese construction group and Labour Department, Government of the Punjab. MoU was signed between Golden Beam Company China and Punjab Workers Welfare Board “PWWB” Labour department Government of the Punjab on November 12, 2015 at Pearl Continental Hotel Lahore.

Mr. Ali Sarfraz Hussain Chairman, Punjab Workers Welfare Board, Lahore and Mr. Jin Mingnan, Chairman Golden Bean Broup China signed the MoU. The purpose of this initiative is to formalize the commitment to work jointly for the planning and construction of Workers Welfare Complex adjacent to Sundar Industrial Estate (Phase-I), District Kasur Project.

Sundar Labour Colony is one of the projects of Punjab Workers Welfare Board (PWWB). PWWB will construct labour colonies in the whole province comprising state-of-the-art facilities for the welfare of industrial workers.

Back in January 2015, Mr. Raja Ashfaq Sarwar Minister for Labour and Human Resource, announced that a project worth billion of rupees to construct labour welfare complexes, WWB schools, multi-purpose community centres and mosques in Lahore, Multan, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Rawalpindi, Okara and Gujranwala districts were under process where filtration plants and drainage system would also be provided to facilitate the industrial workers and their families. He also informed that a project of 992 flats, costing Rs.3, 017 million for the construction of labour colony Multan, would be completed in the next two years along with a project of labour welfare complex Sundar Kasur at a total cost of Rs.7781 million.

According to the MoU, The Golden Bean Company will participate in the bidding of the construction of Workers Welfare Complex comprising following components: 2912 G+3 flats, A Bachelor hostel, A Community Centre, Two Workers Welfare Schools each for Boys and Girls having capacity of 2680 students, Maintenance office, infrastructure like Sewerage system, water supply and roads external development works etc.

Speaking at the occasion Mr. Abdul Basit, Chairman PBIT said that Golden Bean is a huge construction group of China. This agreement and MOU will not only encourage other foreign companies to invest in Punjab but also pave a way for drastic and abrupt improvement in the infrastructure and wellbeing of industrial workers of the Kasur district.

Tell me where it says that PUNJAB govt will pay for anything. Of course you can't, because you are making stuff from thin air.

It's like you are discovering how big businesses are setup for the first time. They are doing the exact same thing if some one was setting up a major factory, help in buying the land, setting up the business, provide connections etc etc.

Is it on a build operate transfer basis ? or is it a loan, if its a loan, then they have to repay it, so technically govt has to pay for it !!!

it's a business how is that so hard to understand?

BOT? basis, wtf are you talking about? No one is transferring anyone anything, no loans, no NOTHING!

Replace "disneyland" with 'factory' if that's so hard to understand.

"Punjab Govt announces Golden Bean Group setting up 'Entertainment Factory' in Lahore".

Now tell me, would you say "oh no, some one is setting up a factory in pakistan, that's so bad!!"

No?

Then same here.

Golden Bean group will put a theme park, run it themselves, earn profit on it... like any NORMAL business.

They could have done it anywhere, but they are doing it in lahore, which is what the big news is.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

they'll pay from the income of the Park not from Punjab gov budget

 

[Dubious]

You are definitely a troll.

cant reply? then dont no one is forcing you to do so!

This is how you reply

they'll pay from the income of the Park not from Punjab gov budget

Here is the agreement:

Have you read it?

According to the agreement Golden Bean Group (GBG) will establish and operate a world class amusement park in Lahore comprising of a theme park, five star hotel, shopping centre, water park, business centre, aquariums, roller coasters and indoor/outdoor rides. Government of the Punjab, PBIT and PHA will provide respective support and facilitation to the Golden Bean Group with regard to its efforts in establishment of the project.

No where does it state details which you are pulling from thin air!

Mr. Ali Sarfraz Hussain Chairman, Punjab Workers Welfare Board, Lahore and Mr. Jin Mingnan, Chairman Golden Bean Broup China signed the MoU. The purpose of this initiative is to formalize the commitment to work jointly for the planning and construction of Workers Welfare Complex adjacent to Sundar Industrial Estate (Phase-I), District Kasur Project.

Sundar Labour Colony is one of the projects of Punjab Workers Welfare Board (PWWB). PWWB will construct labour colonies in the whole province comprising state-of-the-art facilities for the welfare of industrial workers.

Been hearing about this :

Mr. Raja Ashfaq Sarwar Minister for Labour and Human Resource, announced that a project worth billion of rupees to construct labour welfare complexes, WWB schools, multi-purpose community centres and mosques in Lahore, Multan, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Rawalpindi, Okara and Gujranwala districts were under process where filtration plants and drainage system would also be provided to facilitate the industrial workers and their families.

Still waiting something similar was announced previously and never happened

According to the MoU, The Golden Bean Company will participate in the bidding of the construction of Workers Welfare Complex comprising following components: 2912 G+3 flats, A Bachelor hostel, A Community Centre, Two Workers Welfare Schools each for Boys and Girls having capacity of 2680 students, Maintenance office, infrastructure like Sewerage system, water supply and roads external development works etc.

Good to know hopefully it isnt just all say and fancy names!

In Lahore it's Opposite to Comsats University and in Muzaffargarh it's on D.G Khan road...

Condition is good

 

[ryzvonusef]

This is how you reply

So basically... Your basis is "provide facilitations".... by that you presume that, instead of the logical meaning of "help in setting up a mega business by providing necessary guidance", some how you have created this conspiracy that we are paying for this entire project, on MULTI BILLION loan... THAT's your evidence?
