The Prime Minister’s wife, Rosmah Mansor, made headlines again as she becomes the figure for the new gaming sensation Aku Jimat (I Save). Available to iPods, iPhones and iPad users, the purpose of the game is “to educate the kids the important [sic] of saving since childhood,” says the developer, Antartica Group, “The younger you achieve your saving [sic] goal, the better!”
Users control a piggy bank in the form of a cat to collect falling gold coins worth $1,000, and if they’re lucky, gold bars worth $1,000,000. The savings can then be used to purchase 12 items available: a house ($5mil), a car ($300,000), 9 different handbags (ranging from $9,000 to $110,000) and a diamond ring ($24mil).
Rosmah was previously under fire for purportedly purchasing a ring worth RM24 million, but has denied such a claim it, terming it “slander”. Following this, a fake news article made out to be from Utusan Malaysia with the headline Beli sendiri guna duit menabung dari kecil (Bought with money saved from young) circulated over the Internet.
The game is available at the App Store for $0.99. It is rated 5 stars by 85 out of 89 users as of this writing. The game is available here: Aku Jimat.
