FOR most people, the perfect birthday celebration may involve a simple cake and a group of friends singing the Happy Birthday song, badly too.
But for some people, a birthday party perhaps is more than just the celebration of one’s existence on this planet. It is the perfect opportunity to announce to the Joneses about your financial wealth.
Here in a recent viral video, a girl was treated to a RM1 mil birthday party. And what does she get for her presents?
A large Apple monitor worth probably a month of an average employee’s salary. As though that was not enough, she further received a Rolex watch.
What would a little girl do with a Rolex watch? Use it to smack her barbie doll during a particularly heated tea drinking session?
To top it off, she even received a brand new car for her birthday although she is likely one decade away from the legal age to drive.
This is a party on another level. And of course the netizens who watched the video had much to say about it.

“Believe it that groups like these still enjoy subsidies meant for the poor such as the RON95,” said @PgjSyafiq while @xuhaily pointed out that her child should be ashamed of such a mother.
“Just RM 1 mil. Other people’s children spent tens of millions for their children’s birthdays. The mother already knows she is poor. Why did she upload it,” said @xuhaily, hinting that their peers should be far wealthier.
According to netizen @geroqkk, the mother was smart to buy a car for her child. Since the child could not drive it, the mother gets to use it instead.
Also, @feiruzieakapie claimed it was purchased in the name of the child so her assets could not be confiscated later.
Then there was @Mas_Bingung_ wondering why the inland revenue board had not bothered to investigate her on the grounds of tax evasion.
Another netizen said that regardless of how wealthy she was, apparently she did not have a wine cellar in the basement.
“The Kelantan folks have a budu cellar,” said @sixty90 jokingly, in reference to the stinky anchovy sauce famed in the east coast of Malaysia.
The most pertinent comment likely came from @naszieqwayne who warned that if big, expensive gifts were given to the kids when they were young, they would expect bigger and better ones in the future.
“Be prepared. Even their friends would not have what it takes to give those big presents and so they too will distance themselves,” he said. —June 3, 2025
