No joke: Free money at KL Sentral!
Oct 31, 2008 News Breaks
If only I had taken the train yesterday. I went down to lunch today and dad, looking amused, showed me the copy of The Malay Mail. The article was headlined:
Raining money at KL Sentral
Yes, some mysterious dude was walking around KL Sentral giving money away - for real! The article read:
The unidentified man casually walked through the hustle and bustle of KL Sentral, throwing handfuls of RM50, RM10 and RM1 bills up in the air before calmly walking towards the exit - never looking back. Behind him people scrambled for the money.
The writer spoke to a newspaper seller who managed to grab RM600! And there was a photo of people posing with the money they grabbed - some looked like RM200-RM300. No a bad haul I’d say.
I just wish I’d been there.
This act was caught on CCTV camera so I’m sure more details will be out soon. Dad and I were talking and wouldn’t be surprised if it was this lucky man who won the RM20mil jackpot recently.
The Star reported today that the man and his wife had to slap each other when they realised they won, to make sure they weren’t dreaming. What a sweet and funny story. It described the man as being in his 40s though, and the Malay Mail article described the mysterious generous money-giveaway man as being in his 30s.
I suppose these days, with SK II and the likes, someone in his 40s could pass off as 30s?
Wonder if he will make a return to KL Sentral? Maybe I should pop over there now. :P
