What you wear says a lot about your personality, or is that merely a myth and a social stigma? If we can afford something, we’re likely to buy a piece of jewellery or an accessory to put on, regardless of the price.
Most of the time, people tend not to bat an eye towards jewellery or accessories that one wear. However, being a public figure, all eyes seem to be on you, especially if you have a taste for high-end fashion brands. Recently, Zahid Hamidi once again found himself under the spotlight but this time, his luxury watch became the centre of attraction.
According to a Facebook post, what Zahid Hamidi, the 8th President of UMNO wore in the photo above is a Richard Mille RM35-01 luxury watch, and the price is far from what most of us can afford. The screenshot of the listing of the fancy watch reveals the price – a whopping RM1,909,414!
Remeber when Prime Minister Dato Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob became the talk of the town for wearing luxury branded shirts and loafers? Who knew another politician would be seen with something even more expensive that costs millions!
While the Facebook post has not received much attention, some Malaysians have expectedly expressed their shock over the price of the watch.
“The price of his watch could’ve solved 3 flood-related projects in the village.”
“That’s nearly 2 million for a watch.”
“Will he mention eliminating corruption and abuse of power in his upcoming manifesto?”
In the meantime, some netizens also commented sarcastically about what they saw.
“Our corruption fighter. That’s great, and that’s an expensive watch.”
“We support him so that he can buy a bigger watch.”
The upcoming General Election is only a few weeks away, and with a nearly RM2 million luxury watch on Zahid’s wrist, do you think it will affect his fate in the election?
