As more people gather, Mr Mohd Sany is heard reminding the crowd not to take the money more than once, so others can also benefit.
Netizens split over public cash giveaway
Mr Datuk Salim’s spontaneous giveaway drew mixed reactions from netizens.
While some praised the businessman for sharing his wealth, others criticised him, saying he did not have to do charity in such a “showy manner”.

There were also netizens who speculated about the source of the businessman’s wealth and his motives for distributing money so openly.
Translation: Don’t the SPRM and PDRM want to investigate where the money came from? From my dream, this Salim money is very suspicious.
