PAK MIE'S LIES #1: Cost of food



Pak Mie says: It costs RM600 per day to feed the animals, as the dogs eat 50kg of rice per day.

Really? Let's do some maths.

He feeds them broken rice. Not human-grade broken rice that are small white pieces, but animal-grade broken rice, which is green and brown and is mostly chaff (padi hampa). That rice is RM1.60 per kg.

Chicken - look closely at the pic above. These are all discarded parts (fat, skin and heart), they are free of charge.

So,
Rice: RM1.60 x 50kg = RM80
Chicken: Free
Cat kibble RM7kg x RM10: RM70

Total: RM150/day.

But let's say he was super generous and fed them human-grade broken rice at RM2.00 per kg.

Rice: RM2 x 50kg = RM100
Chicken: Free
Cat kibble: RM70

Total: RM170.

First he said RM500 per day (in the video), then later it became RM600 when it's actually only RM150. Exaggerate much?
