A local YouTuber who goes by the handle Isa Isarb has posted a video where he claimed to have attempted to give away RM10,000 in cash to reporters at Istana Negara in Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.

In the video titled ‘Habiskan RM10K Bagi Wartawan Di Istana Negara!’, Isa detailed how he and his friends decided to give away RM10,000 in a series of RM1 notes after seeing how reporters on palace grounds have received food contributions from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah earlier this week.
