MAWI'S WEDDING: Not the way to display wealth

I HAVE always been disgusted reading about celebrities/politicians/corporate figures spending huge amounts of money to celebrate personal events like marriages, awards, key achievements, etc. Being the role models and public figures that they are, I feel it is not appropriate to demonstrate such blatant extravagance, which I think is really a form of insensitivity to public opinion.
Die-hard fans or followers of celebrities would obviously want to partake in the happy occasions without realising that their participation is just a form of escape from the realities of their own lives.

Thus, it was with disappointment and disgust that I read about Mawi’s never-ending wedding activities. On Monday, there was yet another expensive reception, this time at one of the top hotels in the capital. If I am not mistaken, this was the third reception of his wedding and as extravagant as the first two. It doesn’t matter where the money came from — his pocket, his record company, sponsors, etc. This is just not the way to spend money.

It just pains me to imagine how much the money could have meant to thousands of less fortunate children living in shelters, the poor, the terminally ill, the homeless and the displaced.

Mawi’s ostentatious extravagance is all the more to be criticised because it was not so long ago that he was just an unknown person from a Felda settlement. He got his lucky break and, now, in just a few years, he seems to have forgotten his roots.
His fan base, one suspects, would demographically be constituted of those from the lower-income group, so is he now telling all his fans and admirers that one should not be prudent with one’s accumulated wealth?

You said it mate.

But hey, not everyday a rempit from Felda get to do extravagance mate. And not even princes or princesses get to have their pre-fucking ceremonies televised. Umpteenth times. Hopefully the pussy was worth the effort.

I remember one such weddings. Not that too long ago. Held at the place where them UMNO shitheads do their backstabbing and some. Heard that it cost a cool RM1m. And for what? A year worth of copulation? Fortunately the motorcyclist chick's next one wasn't so ostentatious. Hopefully this one will last a lot longer.

And talking about opulence, why don't we asked him how much he had contributed to them Palestinians? Datuk Siti contributed RM2,000 and got media coverage. Maybe if that ex-rempit guy were to donate RM5,000, reckon there'll be another 2 weeks worth of Mawi TV.
