On Friday (27 March), Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced the latest people centric stimulus package that will benefit millions of Malaysians from all walks of life and ages.
 
Many Malaysians received the news well and are happy with the stimulus package.
 
But right after the press conference ended, a certain someone instantly went viral and is currently trending – Makcik Kiah.

Instant celebrity

The Prime Minister quoted Makcik Kiah as an example who will benefit from the package.

Among an example from his speech: "Contohnya Makcik Kiah penjual goreng pisang yang duduk di PPR Desa Tun Razak, yang suaminya adalah pesara kerajaan dan sekarang ini bawa Grab."

"Saya nak bantu buat pengiraan berapa keluarga Makcik Kiah akan dapat."

After the calculation, TSMY ended it with "Jadi Makcik Kiah pun dah boleh tersenyum sikit dengar kiraan yang saya buat." 


Now, we don’t know who exactly Makcik Kiah is, but we do know a lot of ‘Makcik Kiahs’ out there and her family members are happy with the news (and reference!).
 
Here’s how Malaysians responded to the whole Makcik Kiah thing on Twitter:

One second I am laughing hard because the example of Makcik Kiah is very good. "RM8664 jumlah manfaat. Maka Mak Cik Kiah bolehlah senyum sedikit". Another second I am so touched by TSMY final say in English. Political aside, TSMY pulls the greatest final sentence on every speech.

Makcik Kiah you're super famous. Listen to TSMY now, so you won't have to count how much money you'll get after this.

No need to worry, Makcik Kiah. The nation got your back.
