Public Bank's Big Bash too lavish?

Khairy was one of those who thought so. Twitted that the North Korean President would be jealous.

One of the things I noticed was the use of an ordinary Isuzu pick-up truck which has a meaningful registration of PBB 3 which is the only item which could be considered extravagant at a presumed 5-figure tender sum. The outriders, whether real traffic policemen or just actors in police uniform, could be hired from Rm20 each for the real ones, according to funeral sources. Public bank is a highly successful bank with a record of excellent profits almost every year. For its 45th Anniversary celebration and thanks to the extraordinary stewardship of its Chairman and in view of his age, I think the costs involved should not be viewed as too lavish. It was truly a celebration of success for its chairman and is not likely to be an annual event. I do not think the bank's minority shareholders would mind. We should contrast this with the lavish, marked-up costs of events of our political leaders at public's expense.

The only thing which I think some people might complain about could be the idolatry treatment of the chairman by staff and performers.
