If each employee draws a mere miserable RM1k/mth, the average payout would cough out to be RM5mil per month on salaries alone discounting off all other social funds, expenses, franchising and miscellaneous loans, etc before we even talk about profit margins! We'll need 100k visitors per month spending a minimum of RM50 each. Look around the development and attractions in Johore and how on earth the authority thinks this joint venture could lure a minimum of 100K visitors to the theme park each month, when RM50 is considered expensive for the locals, i.e. it takes an average family of 4 to spend at least RM200 per visit, excluding hotel and transportation to the destination...and you wanna dream of successes when Paris, Hong Kong renowned as dream holiday destinations, are struggling to survive with their Disneyland ventures!
