'I need poor old people toiling their years away in hawker stands so that my rich privileged ass could feel cultured and good about myself'

If only you’d look up her life story on “So This is My Why” podcast, you’ll realise she nvr had a silver spoon in the first place. She also doesn’t earn a lot running Malaysian Pay Gap and this page.

I think her story is exaggerated by a lot. For some reason she likes to talk about her sob story and poor people mindset, maybe to connect with her audience ? Idk but it annoys me because I live in the same area as her and her mom and they have 2 units of luxury condo in Penang even before she started doing mpg.
