The properties shown in the three photos belong to the Sarawak Chief Minister, Taib Mahmud. The car is a bullet-proof Rolls Royce. Apart from this, he has assets all over the world worth billions. As a CM he earns RM20,000 a month. He claims that right after he took over power in the 1980s, he and his entire family members suddenly became excellent business people. Hence the accumulated wealth. But his own people, the Sarawakians remain poor. I have seen movies of drug lords living in opulent haciendas and ranches while their subjects suffer, but I never thought that such a situation would exist in my own backward. And yet, come election, the people of Sarawak still voted him in, for a mere pittiance. On top of that, they have been robbed off their land and subjected to cruelty by the logging companies. ENOUGH, WAKE UP and Voice Your Choice.
