Michael Chia

There are Ferraris and Lamborghinis in a small Township called Sandakan, their exact number I’m dunno le but I have seen the same one few times. I’m a car enthusiastic and sights like this don’t escape my view LOL!

There are about 2 Lamborghinis and 4 Ferraris in Sandakan. The owners include Datuk Andrew Lim, his brother Datuk Peter Lim and their business associate Michael Chia. Son of Datuk Pang of Sandakan also has one. Datuk Pang was the owner of Terus Hidup Plantation, a palm oil plantation in Kinabatangan. All are involve in the timber business and Datuk Andrew Lim owns a private jet le too.

They are the Kings of Sandakan…

Now Michael Chia is the most famous of them all because “Deep Throat” reported in “Malaysia Today” that Mike got arrested by Hong Kong authority over money laundering cases. Mike was arrested with 16 millions of Singapore Dollar and that’s RM 40 millions, the 40millions is suppose for Musa to show his appreciation to BN in Permatang Pauh.

Michael Chia live in Mile 5 Sandakan, you can regularly spot him driving his Lamborghini out of his house. In a time where most normal Sandakian can affort a meal, this fellow manage to drive his super car in Sandakan roads which has more pot holes than traffic lights.

Michael Chia is well known in Sandakan as one of the Top “mah chai” of Musa Aman. He, Musa Aman and all those Forestry personals has been systematically clearing out timber from Sandakan Jungle. They have no remorse raping Mother Nature and what’s most “dulan” is that this money never reaches the Rakyat.

Sandakanians earn much less than the national average, a salesgirl usually earn around RM150 to RM200 a month but to be a millionair in you just need the right connection.
