How much is RM 100 million?

Over RM 100 million spent by Federal govt for 50th Merdeka anniversary celebrations

Based on my little bit of makan gaji salary, I can't imagine how RM 100 million looks like.

But spending it on a one-day celebration is just beyond belief. I wonder how much of it goes into the pockets of those in power. I wonder what those who struggle each day to put food on the table and keep a roof over the head would think about such spending. I wonder what do you think about it.

I detest my hard-earned tax money being spent that way.

What a contrast to the exuberant pic of Ryan's Merdeka and your reflections. Campaigning has started indeed.
