A Malaysian social media personality has ignited controversy after throwing an extravagant RM1 million (S$303,000) birthday celebration for her 11-year-old daughter - complete with luxury gifts and a surprise car giveaway - then apologizing for what she called modest spending.

Farhana Zahra, who boasts over 1.8 million TikTok followers, shared footage of the lavish event on Monday (June 2), showing no expense spared for her daughter Yaya's special day. The influencer-cum-beauty entrepreneur stunned viewers when she wrote in the video caption: "This is all mum can afford. Mum only spent 1 million for this birthday."

The cinematic-style video opens with Farhana descending a staircase flanked by two daughters as photographers capture the moment and guests applaud. The celebration featured a pink balloon-adorned backdrop worthy of celebrity events and included premium gifts like an Apple desktop computer and Rolex timepiece.

But the biggest jaw-dropper came when young Yaya received keys to a brand-new black Toyota multi-purpose vehicle, prompting an emotional embrace between mother and child.

Former Family Driver Receives Mercedes Surprise

The generosity extended beyond family when Farhana surprised another guest - her daughter's former chauffeur - with a gleaming red Mercedes-Benz delivered by trailer truck during festivities.

The beauty mogul expressed heartfelt thanks to the driver who served their household for two years before transitioning to become a technician, presenting him with keys while wishing him success in his new career path.

Netizens Divided Over Extravagant Display

The viral posts have racked up over three million views but sparked heated discussions about parenting values and wealth display. While some admired Farhana's generosity, others questioned whether such opulence benefits children's upbringing.
