According to the UK’s Mail newspaper an ‘anonymous Malaysian businessman’ has purchased a yacht priced at £3 BILLION pounds.  This amounts to nearly $5 BILLION dollars and indeed RM14.5 BILLION !

The purchaser of this record-busting toy is clearly reluctant to answer questions such as: How much tax have you paid? How much have you contributed to helping alleviate poverty? Or, indeed, how did you earn so much money in the first place?  So, they have remained anonymous.

But, we can deduce that they have an amazing level of wealth and that they think an appropriate way to spend it is towards their occasional gratification when enjoying a yacht trip.  Given the poverty of so many people in Malaysia and also the questions over how Malaysia’s natural wealth in terms of oil and timber have been requisitioned and distributed, it is a shocking judgement for a rich person to make.

If you want to enjoy an occasional sea picnic does your boat really have to be a gold-plated, platinum-line yacht ?  Might there not be another more worthy recipient for such money and might it not be more gratifying to use such wealth to benefit your community?

Nobody with an IQ the level equal to or higher than that of a dog would spend his hard earn money this way. Only those who make their fortune through dishonest means will splash money this way. To me it's either money earned through cronyism, corruption or down right theft! Don't tell us your oldman leave you his fortune when he died!

This is rubbish.
There is no yacht in the world that cost this kind of money.
MR30 million is tops, ever.

who would pay so much money for the yacht featured in the pics? I have a feeling the writer got the price wrong, platinum walls or not.

This is a sideshow. Get UMNO out of government and dislodge Taib's grip on Sarawak then you won't have to read tales of excesses like this again.
