According to Malaysiakini, Sanjeevan and his team at MyWatch took eight to nine months to complete the project
They stressed that there was no political motive nor intention to insult behind the photo series. "I just want the public to know what kind of lifestyle these politicians are adopting."
The photo series has since gone viral on Facebook, with over 43,000 shares at press time
There was a mixed of reaction from Sri Sanjeevan's post. Commenters were not shocked, but rather exasperated that the public servants were able to afford such luxurious watches.
"I don't see anything wrong with having a good quality watch. Some people got expensive taste not sure about the source of money though," says Renganathan Palanisamy.
Many hinted that there was double standard at play as Sanjeevan [reportedly spent RM340,000 on two car number plates last year](http://bit.ly/bmwplatesstory).
Other requested for Sanjeevan to be fair by featuring more Pakatan Rakyat party members for a more reasonable judgement.
