Despite the economy being on a ventilator, luxury car imports are continuing unabated in Pakistan. This is a fact that doesn’t sit well with the Pakistani public.
According to a recent update, a video of the 2023 Range Rover fresh off the dock has spread across social media like wildfire. Reports suggest that the uber-luxury SUV has been imported by the grandchildren of one of Pakistan’s most famous billionaires, Malik Riaz.
When Pakistan has 1.9 billion dollars of forex reserves, #MalikRiaz’s grandkids are being allowed to import the first 2023 Range Rover to Pakistan. #alhamdullilah #governmentpriorities #IMF #default @abbasnasir59 @geonews_english @tribuneblogs pic.twitter.com/3bZBQOD4Km

Malik Riaz, Owner of Bahria Town housing societies and several other mega projects, is well known for his mondo-extravagant car collection. His grandchildren share the same taste in cars, having reportedly imported Pakistan’s first-ever all-new Range Rover.
While the video doesn’t reveal details about the SUV’s variant, it bears noting that the luxury SUV competes with the likes of Mercedes GLS, BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade, and other high-end luxury SUVs. As such, Range Rover starts at a whopping Rs. 32 million, this does not include import taxes.
After these photos, people have, once again, begun questioning the Pakistani government’s priorities as the Pakistani elite is seemingly exempt from import sanctions.

Pakistan is a perfact example of might is right
I am sure proper procedure is adopted and taxes are paid
Strange opinion..
Dear …When there is daacccooo govt ban on all imported cars …so what is the.fun in following all procedures and paying taxes by another eater and seller of mother Pakistan Zameen

Overseas Pakistani can send vehicles to their families. So if taxes are being paid what’s the problem.
Dollar leaking. Bro
Sir no problem it’s youthia thought of school. When Imran Khan and Bushra who were certified Sadiq and ameen gave away Pakistan’s 50 billion rupees these youthias were totally silent
This Patwari has become Chootiya, barking without any evidences.
No issue if Pakistan’s FOREX is not being used
BROTHER OUR PROBLEM IS OUR DOLLARS, WHICH ARE GOING OUT SIDE FOR THESE UNNECESSARY THING INFACT THE POOR PUBLIC BEARING HARD FOR THEIR NECESSARY LIVINGS
Hello Mister dumb one. When state is not opening LC’s for export and can’t earn usd such purchases are already putting a dent of Foreign exchange reserves. It might be an exception if the economy wasn’t tanking but considering you are dumb your response is considered normal.
The SUV and others like it must be confiscated by customs and fined 200 % duty. Proceeds to be given to Shuhada funds.
As long as the vehicle has been imported legally after paying all taxes there’s nothing wrong with it. No need for drama in the name of Shuhada. Enough has been plundered in their name
why are we jealous, if we were really so much in love with Pakistan and it’s existence we would come out on street to fight for the right, but that time we say “hum yai karaingay tou rozi roti ka kia hoga” so people like Malik Riyaz are giving you rozi roti, with due respect either fight for right not stupid car things or just keep the mouth shut. stop Pakistan loving drama, you people are jealous, without any confirmation you assumed that he did not pay duty,
Matlab agar kisi ke paas paisa hai aur woh tax bhar ke kuch mangwaayay to confiscate kar ke shuhda fund mein de do? Bhai. Shaheedon ki families bhikaari naheen hein!
He is a King maker untouchable
How can a clerk make such a huge amount of money . Seems illigimate money .
Raiz . Remember one day we all will die and face Allah, May Allah show us all the right path amin sum amin
Malik Riaz must have done it the right way . He worked hard to make money . He did not steal it .
What about 50 billion rupees daka with the help of pinki and Imran Khan
It would have been great if it was all legit and hard earned money. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Malik Riaz took over properties from many poor, widows and weak people when developing his Bahria town. I personally know such cases and people. He still has many cases lodged against him in courts but the pace at which justice is being served in our current system, there has been no relief for such victims.
Yes. Real true…
Malik Riaz worked in Karachi steel.
One thing I want to say Malik Riaz, please give plots to their owner who gave money 10 years back if buyers use that money to other business it will be 10 times increase in 10 years this is INSANE and CHEATING of Malik Riaz he should do it right now
WHY HE DO IT WHY HE CARES OF INSANE AND INNOCENT PEOPLE’S BREAD N BUTTER HE AND HIS FAMILY IS DOING AYEYASHI OVER YOUR MONEY SO HOW COULD HE RETURN IT . SABA ADNAN IN PAKISTAN THERE IS NO LAW HAMARI COURT JUDGES GOVTS SAB HARAMZADAY HAI KOI BHI HUM LOGON KI HELP NAHI KARAY GA
THE CAPTION OF THE NEWS SHOULD BE LIKE THIS”HARAM KI DAULAT PAR YEH SHOWBAZI AIK GHAREEB QARZDAR MULK MEI”. Y THE DOG GOVT NOT TAKE THE AMOUNT FROM MALIK RIAZ TO PAY OFF THE DEBTS OF IMF. NOW Y IMF IS BLIND OVER MALIK RIAZ. KHOOB LOOT MAR HO RAHI HAI MULK MEI BUT NO LAWS NO GOVT NO AWAM TO CHECK ALL THIS. PAKISTAN KA ALLAH HI HAFIZ HAI
اس بے غیرت نے 9سال گزرے کے بعد میراعوامی ولا مجھے ابھی تک ننہیں دیا
This country has been saked by the optulent of this country. We are being ruined and this will continue. This Jhonpar Patti was created for looting Pakistan.
Shame on the person importing such expensive car.He should have deposited this amount of the car with the government.
Dollar is not comman man problem but roti, Medicine, dallain, sugar, oil, rent, education and other mandatory necessities. So, why discuss dollar. Jinhain dollar ki zaroorat hogi, wo intizam bhi kar lain ga. Simple.
Our successive govts during the last 35 years have weakened all institutions like FBR, Judiciary, Police, NAB,FIA, CDA, PEMRA , Bureaucracy, and the like….as a result corruption flourished like wild fire….rich got richer poor got poorer….PM, CM, Ministers, high position holders, Generals, Judges made dozens of properties abroad while, our economy slid down the scale to Zero. Malik Riaz is one of the Richest.
Shameless guys
Malik Family is imran khan team partners 🥂
please do not be jealous
Malik Riaz is king of thugs what he did with effectees he earned billions through corruption. We are silent
I think it should become mandatory for such rich people to contribute to national exchequer by importing such vehicles. The result is payment of custom duty and taxes, POL that such vehicles use consume also has a large chunk of taxes for the government. Rich people should be motivated to spend their money and not sit on the money bags as serpents. But the question is the money being spent is it their own real earned money or is it ill gotten money. Once such vehicle is detected the owner should produce his income tax records to verify if the two correspond to each other.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE FEELINGS, IN SUCH A SITUATION WHEN OUR COUNTRY’S ECCONOMICAL SITUATION IS AT THE WORST SINCE THE INDEPENDENCE, BUT WE HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY LESSON. I THINK WE SHOULD LEARN THE SIMPLICITY FROM OUR NEIBOUR COUNTRIES.
Congratulations
