Sinar Harian reported that O’Reilly claimed that Malaysia’s household per capita income stands at US$5,731 (RM25,061) per year, while the United States records US$42,220 (RM184,628).

“That’s an eightfold difference,” he said in a TikTok video.

O’Reilly also admitted that he views himself as a coloniser.
