TRANSCRIPT
Stratification
“The sultans are given salaries, allowances and expenses to maintain the sultans’ primary dwellings totalling about RM200 million annually. They are each entitled to reside in seven palaces. Pahang’s Sultan Ahmad Shah had at least a dozen palaces, his own Boeing 727 and 200 polo ponies kept in air-conditioned stables.”
