[KINI EXPLAINER] Asia's hidden richest man? A glimpse of Daim's wealth and empire

Is corporate godfather and former Minister of Finance Daim Zainuddin the 'hidden' richest individual in Asia? According to Daim, the value of his RM750 million assets, which he was ordered by the government to liquidate, would be worth more than RM42 billion if he had invested in an S&P 500 index fund in 1984.
KiniTV brings you another report to examine the wealth owned by Daim and his global banking empire.

Now, I understand why the country can't even afford to build highways, train systems and many other infrastructure projects. It's was ridiculous how this country muddled through the decades without any proper overall economic plans. Thank god, Singapore was not part of Malaysia Federation.

Many rich towkays knew how corrupted this particular young civil servant was! Just look for them if they are still alive and interview them. Most of them are gone to kingdom come by now but who knows, a few might still be kicking around. Btw KINI can try interviewing Robert Kuok who's moved to Hong Kong or China now.

    Mukesh Ambani (India) is worth almost USD$100 billion, is the richest in Asia. A powerful cronny of Mahathir, Taib Mahmud (Sarawak), current Governor of Sarawak who plundered Sarawak's wealth over a span of 33 years is estimated to have accumulated around USD$20 billion.

Only tax evasion reason or just avoiding unlawfull asset acquisition financial cartel. Just like the drugs cartel. Or is he a drugs kingpin involved in smuggling heroin from the Myamar- Laos border via VIP status in M'sia to Western market? He has to clear & clarify to the government & public in Malaysia of his logical wealth accumalation.

    His master has at least 4 times of his wealth. Just for the forced mergers of banks, there must have been a lot of hidden outpours of money's from the major banks to their offshore accounts. A lot of major government contracts such as the multi-billion dollar hydro project in Sarawak done through their proxies without any tender had enriched them at least by 15% of the sums of the projects.

Not all cultures promote flaunting and bragging about their wealth and assets. Rigidly confining and stigmatizing an entire race with a particular socioeconomic status is very distasteful. And it's as if to say if other people of other race/religion became super-rich, most certainly no such malpractice in the accumulation of such wealth must've ever taken place? Absurd.
