In the video, Mr Datuk Salim is seen walking near food stalls at the beach. He is accompanied by several men, including Hulu Langat Member of Parliament Mohd Sany Hamzan.

“Wave and you’ll get RM100!” he says repeatedly, handing out the promised amount to anyone who does so.

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.

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.
