Dr M criticises Najib daughter’s lavish wedding

"This is not a playing matter. It was the wedding of the century," he told some 1,000 people gathered at a forum at the K-Klub in Taman Melawati today, referring to the extravagance of the wedding.
"Not wedding of the year, you know, but wedding of the century."
"When they went to Kazakhstan with 300 people, there were no reports (about it) but that's normal of the mainstream media not to.
"The wedding reception in Pekan we know about, but who are the 300 who went to Kazakhstan?"
With his typical dry humour, Dr Mahathir said that no one remembered the weddings of his five children, as he had no money to make it lavish.
"Who, here, remembers the wedding of my five children?
"No one even knew about it because I'm a stingy man. I didn't invite a lot of people. I had no money to spend.”
Nooryana Najwa, who is Najib's daughter, and Daniyar Kessibayev had their marriage solemnised at the Seri Perdana, Putrajaya, on March 19.
Their wedding had been the talk of the town when photographs of the extravagant reception went viral.
Dr Mahathir had previously criticised Najib and and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's "lavish lifestyles", saying he had been able to overlook some of Najib's "behaviour" until now, calling for the prime minister's resignation.
"These kind of things do not make someone a leader," he said.
In his blog posts at chedet.cc, Dr Mahathir has criticised Najib several times over the debt-ridden 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), and also his policy of giving cash handouts under the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M).
He had also commented on Rosmah, whose spending on jewellery was mentioned in a February article in The New York Times, which highlighted the story of businessman Low Taek Jho.
This later led to speculation about Najib and his family's wealth, and triggered a letter signed by Najib's four brothers – Datuk Johari, Datuk Nizam, Datuk Nazim, and Datuk Seri Nazir – taking issue with those who speculated about the inheritance left by their father, Malaysia's second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein.
The four Razak brothers said their father was known for his integrity and frugality, and denounced "anyone who taints his memory".
