MALAYSIAN SPENT RM 5.5 MILLION TO WOO TAIWANESE SONGBIRD ELVA HSIAO

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
If anyone spends RM 10,000 to propose marriage to me, I would have accepted, let alone RM 5.5 million! The girl must be blind, mentally retarded and stupid! And she is not world famous like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez or Madonna! The cheek! 


RM 5.5 million wedding proposal ended up with Elva rejecting him

Taiwanese newspaper Apple Daily broke the news after coming across a video recording reportedly documenting Low's proposal.

His target - famous Taiwanese Mandopop singer Elva Hsiao.

The daily cites a video uploaded a year ago to video-sharing site, vimeo.com, by British-based professional photographer Peter Rear. 

‘Surprise engagement proposal rumoured to cost of £1m (RM 5.5 million).'

The rumoured cost is of little surprise as the event took place on a private beach at pricey hotel resort Atlantis, The Palm - the most famous hotel on the island of Palm Jumeirah, off Dubai.

Rear's 5-minute 27-second video depicts the couple arriving in a black Rolls-Royce and strolling to the beach, where candles are laid out in a gigantic Valentine heart.

The couple, holding each other, then proceed to dine on an luxurious set - claimed to be the work of Dubai's architectural and interior design firm Ali Bakhtiar Designs - as a laser show outlines the couple's silhouette.

Singer is moved to tears, but...

The couple enjoy their meal while being serenaded by a harpist and a violinist. It is no ordinary violin either, for it is studded with what appears to be precious stones.

Breaking the romantic tone, several parachutists descend from the sky and land on the beach to present Hsiao with jewellery made by Swiss luxury brand Chopard.

By then, Hsiao is moved to tears.

However, the outrageous extravagance was reportedly not enough to move Hsiao's heart.

Apple Daily says it understands that Hsiao (right), 33, rejected the proposal and only saw Low, 31, as a "little brother".

The newspaper also reported that a spokesperson had denied claims that Low had proposed to Hsiao at the event, stressing that it was just a "romantic dinner".

Penang-born Low, who is reportedly part of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's inner circle, is best known for his attempts to woo American socialite Paris Hilton and hard partying habits with his A-list friends in the United States.

Low, whose real name is Low Taek Jho, is the son of a Penang tycoon who reportedly has close links with Middle Eastern investors.

Locally, he is reportedly involved with the Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA) - now known as the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) - and UBG Bhd, which is owned by the family of Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud.

Low got into the media spotlight two years ago after reports about his extravagant partying with controversial Hollywood actress Paris Hilton hit the front pages of newspapers, local and around the world.

VIDEO l 5.25 min (click 'HD' off at bottom right corner of the video panel for those with slow Internet connection)
Someone with access to the date posted a five-minute-plus clip on YouTube (scroll below) of the extravaganza night, in which Jho woos Elva with a romantic dinner, roses, orchids, jewellery, live music and fireworks at the hotel's private beach.

He also had a big heart shaped into the sand by a hundred candles. Out on the sea itself, a giant neon light backdrop hung between two yachts with the message "Jho [hearts] Elva".

Halfway through dinner, two men parachuted down from the sky to present Elva with a Chopard pendant-and-necklace set estimated at RM83,500.

This was followed by a million-ringgit fireworks show and a violin performance. Throughout the night, they were apparently doing a lot of hugging.

But she said 'NO'
Although she was touched to tears, Elva allegedly rejected his 'proposal'.

Elva's manager has clarified that the incident happened last year.

According to Apple Daily, Hsiao 33, rejected the proposal as she only saw Low, 31, as a “little brother”.

The songstress is currently reported to be dating Taiwanese actor Kai Ko, who is 12 years her junior.

The pair is said to be holidaying together in Bali.
