How sad – the combined wealth of the 40 richest Malaysians has dropped by 7 per cent since last year.But be happy. The Malaysian Business assures us, “On the bright side, there were 30 billionaires this year — three more than last year.”
You know, that’s very reassuring. Now I can sleep in peace. Not.
A couple of years ago, we were even told that Malaysia had the most billionaires in Southeast Asia – as if that is something to be proud of.
Here’s a familiar cast of characters. But I suspect that there are a couple of politicians missing from this list who could well qualify to be included.
