In another video, a hypermarket manager told the people there that they were given a limit of RM3,000 per person for their groceries. That’s a LOT of groceries one can buy! Almost all of the items in the hypermarket was taken by the shoppers as a mad rush ensued to grab as many things as they can. Some of the people there could be seen pushing at least two or more trolleys to nab all the groceries.
Netizens were super grateful to TMJ and many of them could be seen singing their praises on social media. Others were sharing their good fortune and messaging their friends and family about their sudden durian runtuh. It was reported that he spent more than RM1 million in total and left the hypermarket at around 8.00pm, according to The Star.
In a Facebook post on Johor Southern Tigers, TMJ said that he did it out of love for his people, Bangsa Johor.
