According to The Malay Mail yesterday, Psy’s show cost a total of RM3.5 million for the 10-minute performance.
Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, belted out two versions of the popular ‘Oppa Gangnam Style’ which the daily claims had cost RM500,000 each.
Another RM2.5 million, the daily reported, comprised transportation costs from Brazil, and to bring the props and 30 dancers for the performance.
The management firm also denied allegations on blogs claiming that the Malaysian government had sponsored the artiste’s performance at the 1Malaysia Chinese New Year open house on Monday.

In a related development, Penang BN chief Teng Chang Yeow believed saboteurs were behind the shouts of “No!” when Najib asked the crowd whether they are ready to support BN on Sunday.
According to Sinar Harian, the Gerakan leader said he has a video recording that shows many in attendance shouting “Yes!” in response to the prime minister’s question.
Teng also alleged that the saboteurs were wearing coloured T-shirts as suggested by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
