Exactly. People like them only need to maintain humble house for show, while they use state's resources like istana, expensive meals, power car rides etc. Very pitiful indeed.
Someone told me that the Bar at the Istana is stocked with Duty-Free champlagnes, sparkling wines and loads of whiskies, brandies, sherries and beers, including LOWENBRAU served at room temperature.
Even many pilots of SQ flights talk about this.
Little wonder why the old "People's President" was so bloated.
