#KiniNews: Anwar calls out hypocrite ‘hand kissers’, Mentega Terbang director receives death threat

[KiniNews] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has claimed that he was criticised by several politicians for asking an entrepreneur to help poor rice farmers.

“But when that entrepreneur pays millions in political funds, they (the politicians) kiss his hands,” he said during his speech at the launch of MRT Putrajaya Line at the Serdang MRT depot this morning.

The prime minister was referring to tycoon Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, the owner of Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas), who had to channel RM60 million of his profits to rice farmers.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Khairi Anwar, the director of the controversial movie Mentega Terbang, has received a death threat.

His car was also splashed with black and red paint.

In his police report sighted by Malaysiakini, the 31-year-old director mentioned that actor Arjun Thanaraju’s car was also splashed with red paint and acid at the latter’s residence in Ampang.___________________
