FMT - Getting BR1M nothing to shout about, says Mokhzani (extracts):
ALOR SETAR: Receiving the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) is nothing to shout about, says Mokhzani Mahathir, the second son of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
He said although the government revelled in the fact that it was helping the people by disbursing the aid, the people forget that they are receiving money because they cannot afford to fend for themselves.
“We can be proud and be like champions when we are rich. We can feel great with our own hard-earned money.
“That is what’s important. It is not about people giving us money so we can survive. That is not greatness.
“We can feel proud when we are able to ensure our livelihood is taken care of, and we can take care of our own families,” he said in a ceramah at Felda Sungai Tiang in Pendang, near here, where he made a surprise appearance last night.

Wakakaka, so says the multi-billionaire. I have to say I admire him fr his immense wealth. I wonder whether he could pass on a couple of tips on how to get rich, apart from having a powerful relative, wakakaka again.
Also in FMT - You’re rich and arrogant, Samy’s son attacks Mahathir’s son (extracts):
PETALING JAYA: MIC treasurer-general S Vell Paari today described Mokhzani Mahathir as “arrogant” for saying the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) was nothing to shout about and that Malaysians could only be proud when they were rich.
Calling on Mokhzani to apologise to all BR1M recipients “as they do not deserve to be disrespected and ridiculed”, he said it also showed that Mokhzani had lost touch with the common people.
“Everyone in Malaysia knows how Mokhzani Mahathir made his billions. In fact Anwar Ibrahim once said that Mokhzani’s Kenchana Petroleum received most of the projects from Petronas. Dr Mahathir was also once the adviser of Petronas.”
Vell Paari, the son of Mahathir’s former cabinet minster S Samy Vellu, said in a statement that Mokhzani should stop “looking down” upon and disrespecting people who received BR1M.
“Not everyone in Malaysia is the son of a former prime minister of 22 years and who is now a multi-billionaire. There are people in this country who work to find a living honestly and do need assistance from time to time. The government is aware of this and (is) providing assistance to the rakyat accordingly. The amount of assistance might be nothing to Mokhzani but means a lot to the people who are really in need.”
He asked Mokhzani why Pakatan Harapan in its manifesto had not committed itself to abolishing BR1M?
“The reason is simple because PH knows that BR1M is a very good initiative by the BN government.”

Yes indeed, if BR1M was useless, why has Mahathir after initially rejecting the aid subsidy now wants Pakatan Harapan to continue its scheme? FMT has just reported that Lim Kit Siang has upped the BR1M ante, promising to give recipients RM2,000 if Pakatan wins majority rule.
But to be challenged upon by a bloke like Vell Paari really makes Mokhzani a sad clown.
Mokhzani has been totally out of touch with the ordinary rakyat, and in his multi-billionaire arrogant opinion, has in one fell swoop shot his father's, brother's and his own foot, wakakaka.
We have to admit Mokhzani has been the wonderful beneficiary of karma, being born to a powerful father. Does anyone for an instant believe he would have become a multi-billionaire if his dad was not Robert Kuok or "Robert Mugabe", wakakaka?
But don't be jealous - it's just Mokhzani's magnificent marvellous karma.
