<span style="font-weight: 400;">Nina got her food from one of the most famous restaurants in SS15 Subang, Gold Chilli. If you ask anyone in PJ/ Subang, this is a restaurant that needs no introduction as they are famous for their Butter Chicken.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/0ed9c70c8f3969b6065975cf18756f080f325696fbfce92e6d79c8039627636f" /></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Typically, the restaurant is always packed with people so if you&rsquo;re thinking of going, you better be quick, but hey, that&rsquo;s why we have airasia food ;)</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/95be23fbb2001d783c94e02e899d7908bdedb03c79b5f5b77e0e8a1efc2d13f8" /></span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nina got herself the Salted Egg Butter Chicken Set (RM20.50) as well as the fried Kuey Teow which is something that is not commonly ordered by some at the restaurant.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First up, the Kuey Teow. Now since this is a dish that&rsquo;s not commonly ordered, many would be surprised that the taste of it is really good! There are times that Butter Chicken can get too heavy and if you need a quick meal to-go, Nina does recommend getting it!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As for the Salted Egg Butter Chicken, trust us when we say it, writing about it can never do its justice. Despite taking away the food, the restaurant gives a generous amount of sauce with the meal which gives it the extra kick that everyone loves from a rich butter sauce. The taste of it won&rsquo;t make you feel queasy midway through your meal. Plus, if you&rsquo;re not a fan of picking out the bones, you have a boneless chicken option and the meal comes in two different sizes!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/f4eb1a8def40613a0fa2aa51a0b42e6a8b78eb75288881e71ee1853b5b7e7ae8" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re looking to enjoy the meal with others, you should definitely give their Marmite Sotong (RM17.50) or their Mongolia Fish (RM17.00). Both dishes also go well with the butter cream sauce despite it being a completely different sauce.</span></p>
<p><strong>Explore the many food options with airasia food!</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With delivery being a thing and even pre-ordering food being an option now, the airasia Super App makes it easier for us all!&nbsp;</span></p>

Indulge Yourself In Rich & Creamy Butter Chicken At Gold Chilli

<p>Since the Madani Government took office, Malaysians have experienced the gradual removal of various subsidies, with the latest being the end of toll-free travel during festive seasons. One thing we&rsquo;ve come to expect from the current administration is its firm stance on decision-making, with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim rarely making "u-turns."&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, following public dissatisfaction over the lack of toll-free travel, it seems the government is making one of its first partial reversals on a decision&mdash;offering a compromise instead.</p>
<p>In conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations, highway users nationwide can enjoy a 50% toll discount for a limited period. The discount applies exclusively to <strong>Class 1 private vehicles</strong> and will be in effect from <strong>12:01 am on 27th January</strong> until <strong>11:59 pm on 28th January</strong>, covering all highway toll plazas across the country except the Sultan Iskandar Building and Tanjung Kupang toll plazas, which are located at Malaysia's borders.</p>
<p><strong>The Cost of the Discount</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FKementerianKerjaRaya%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0SiKwJFk2HHqmnAyQsRJWowummorPzEro2Jx1SUGRLuuTT1nztBoE7Z4HGGi6gWHPl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="728" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>The Works Minister, Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, revealed that the initiative would cost the government RM20.08 million in compensation to toll concessionaires. Despite no longer offering toll waivers during festive seasons, the government has committed to providing this discount as part of its ongoing efforts to support highway users during major celebrations.</p>
<p>Since 2023, the government has spent a total of RM356.18 million on festive toll assistance, including free tolls and discounts for major celebrations. However, 2024 marks the final year for such subsidies, as the government seeks a more targeted approach to toll relief.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Targeted Subsidy Plans Underway<br /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/f721418be7a303029dc637dcb284d4ca0228025ce03b6c97ebe44a85cf160c3f" /></strong></p>
<p>Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi reiterated that toll exemptions during festive seasons would no longer be provided. The decision, finalised during a Cabinet meeting on 20th December 2024, aims to transition toward a more targeted subsidy model. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has also hinted at limiting toll exemptions to specific income groups, such as the B40 and M40, as part of the government&rsquo;s broader subsidy reform initiatives.</p>
<p>Further details of the targeted subsidy plan are expected to be announced soon. The shift is projected to save the government RM190 million annually, funds which can be redirected to other critical areas.</p>
<p><strong>Encouraging Safe and Smooth Journeys</strong></p>
<p>In light of the toll discount, Nanta encouraged road users to plan their travels wisely to avoid traffic congestion during the long holiday period. He recommended downloading the MYPLUS-TTA app for real-time travel advisories and adhering to all traffic guidelines for a safe and smooth journey.</p>
<p>Additionally, drivers can access live traffic updates and CCTV footage via the Highway Authority&rsquo;s website or follow their official social media channels, including Facebook, TikTok, and X. For immediate assistance or traffic inquiries, the public can contact the Highway Authority Traffic Management Centre at 1-800-88-7752.</p>
<p><strong>A Final Farewell to Toll Waivers</strong></p>
<p>As the government transitions away from free tolls during festive seasons, the 50% discount for Chinese New Year offers a final gesture of goodwill to road users. While the move to targeted subsidies is anticipated to benefit lower-income groups, this festive discount provides a temporary reprieve for Malaysians travelling to celebrate the Lunar New Year with loved ones.</p>
<p>With road safety in mind, Nanta urged everyone to follow traffic rules and take advantage of the resources available for a safer and more enjoyable journey. "Let&rsquo;s fully embrace the spirit of this Chinese New Year and ensure we all arrive at our destinations safely," he concluded.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>This leaves us with a lingering question: while we understand the need to categorise income groups like T20, T15, and M40, at the end of the day, aren&rsquo;t all Malaysians taxpayers? And if so, shouldn&rsquo;t subsidies benefit everyone equally, regardless of income brackets?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>That said, we&rsquo;d like to take this moment to wish all Malaysians a very Happy Chinese New Year! May your celebrations be filled with joy, and for those travelling, have a safe and smooth journey back home this festive season.</em></span></p>

Looks like the government finally made a U-turn on their decision!

Government Announces 50% Toll Discount For Chinese New Year 2025 On 27-28 January

<p>For homeowners, managing electricity bills has become increasingly challenging, especially with rising costs. Whether it&rsquo;s a full household or simply trying to stay cool during the scorching weather, keeping energy usage under control can often feel like a daunting task.</p>
<p>However, for one Malaysian shop lot owner, her worst nightmare became a reality when a seemingly straightforward rental agreement turned into a devastating ordeal. The tenant, who rented the upper floor of her property, secretly transformed it into an illegal cryptocurrency mining hub, leaving her with an astonishing RM1.2 million electricity bill and extensive damage to the unit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/bc81fa99260138ea1bd49058beac0475cf077f89ec3b6b60318818c677811e85" /></p>
<p>Yen Pit Yun, the owner of the two-story shop lot in Panorama Lapangan Perdana, Melaka, recounted her ordeal during a press conference organised by Gopeng MP Tan Kar Hing. While the ground floor was occupied by a hair salon, Yen rented out the upper floor in July last year through a property agent. The tenant claimed the unit would be used for storing business goods, and nothing seemed amiss at first.</p>
<p>However, Yen grew suspicious in August when she noticed the tenant hauling heavy electrical cables into the unit. This unusual activity prompted her to lodge a police report, fearing foul play. Before any action could be taken, the tenant disappeared overnight, leaving behind a unit in complete disarray.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/1ecc1e054a21c8f4daf3359b7100131043239a6e551017c58e8643f3d5f70757" /></p>
<p>&ldquo;When I went to inspect the property, I was shocked to see the extent of the damage. The walls had holes, the partitions were destroyed, and there were tangled wires everywhere,&rdquo; Yen said. Unfortunately, her problems didn&rsquo;t end there.</p>
<p>Two months later, Yen was blindsided when Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) sent her an electricity bill totalling RM1.2 million, allegedly due to the tenant&rsquo;s electricity usage for their illegal operations. The staggering sum left her in despair. &ldquo;If instalment payments are not allowed, the worst-case scenario would be bankruptcy,&rdquo; she lamented.</p>
<p><strong>A Widespread Issue</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/37e92439de777510fb902c31ef7f6b1365e4e27e50fe0fbe402bec485543eec3" /></strong></p>
<p>Yen&rsquo;s case is not an isolated incident. During the same press conference, Tan Kar Hing revealed that over 60 property owners in areas such as Gopeng, Manjung, and Setiawan have been similarly affected. These landlords have been left with enormous electricity bills ranging from RM30,000 to RM1.2 million, in addition to the extensive property damage caused by illegal cryptocurrency mining.</p>
<p>Among the victims is Mohd Najib Abdul Hadi, a retired army officer whose house in Manjung was used for the same purpose. Najib was left with an electricity bill of RM86,000 and a severely damaged home. Attempts to contact his tenant were unsuccessful, leaving him to shoulder the financial burden.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/c3e68d3b38f6b7574b69e34d154b0429c2e1cc0438e99369ab7eea1180fb3035" /></p>
<p>These cases highlight the broader challenges posed by unauthorised cryptocurrency mining operations, which have become a growing concern in Malaysia. The high energy consumption required for mining cryptocurrency often leads to the illegal siphoning of electricity, leaving landlords in distress when the tenants disappear.</p>
<p><strong>Steps Taken by TNB</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/84b2187244536ac4dff9eab73b520eb37ae42dcdd5b946d6c8555d00c6b2ab83" /></strong></p>
<p>In response to the escalating issue, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has pledged to engage with affected property owners to find solutions. In a statement reported by <em>The Star</em>, TNB said it had reached out to Gopeng MP Tan Kar Hing&rsquo;s office to discuss plans for addressing the situation.</p>
<p>One key recommendation from TNB is that property owners submit a Change of Tenancy (COT) request whenever a new tenant occupies their property. This simple step ensures that electricity accounts are transferred to tenants, prevents disputes, and protects landlords from liability.</p>
<p>The company also reminded landlords to monitor their properties closely and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.</p>
<p><strong>Calls for Policy Reforms</strong></p>
<p>Tan Kar Hing has called on the Energy Commission and other relevant authorities to take decisive action against illegal cryptocurrency mining. He has also stressed the need to amend the Electricity Supply Act to protect innocent property owners better.</p>
<p>The MP also suggested creating a centralised rental database to track high-risk tenants, which would help landlords screen potential renters more effectively. Additionally, he urged landlords to exercise caution by conducting thorough background checks and regularly inspecting their properties.</p>
<p><strong>Lessons for Landlords</strong></p>
<p>The harrowing experiences of Yen, Najib, and many others serve as a stark warning to landlords across Malaysia. Renting out a property may seem like a straightforward process, but it comes with risks, particularly when tenants engage in illegal activities.</p>
<p>Experts recommend that landlords take preventive measures, such as signing detailed rental agreements, performing tenant background checks, and submitting Change of Tenancy requests to TNB. Regular inspections and prompt reporting of unusual activity can also help mitigate risks.</p>
<p>While TNB continues its efforts to resolve the current cases, the incident highlights a systemic issue that requires broader legal and policy changes. For now, landlords must remain vigilant to avoid falling victim to similar schemes, which can have devastating financial consequences.</p>

Landlord Shocked With RM1.2 Million Electricity Bill After Tenant Operates Illegal Crypto Mining

<p>For many, we all know that kids can sometimes be a handful as we know that they are normally full of energy and there are times where if we leave them with little to no supervision, they could end up in a little sticky situation for themselves.</p>
<p>On 17 January, Hayfa, a little girl from Melaka, told her mother, Aqila Nasir, that she was experiencing pain in her left ear. Aqila, like many parents might, assumed it was a minor issue. "I checked her ear with a flashlight but didn&rsquo;t see anything unusual," she explained. Thinking it could be something trivial, like a pimple, Aqila asked her daughter to wait until the next day to see if the pain had subsided.</p>
<p>However, things took a worrying turn the following morning when Hayfa woke up with neck pain and appeared unusually lethargic. Her behaviour raised alarm bells for Aqila, who decided to take another look inside her daughter&rsquo;s ear. This time, she noticed black debris and immediately suspected something more sinister.</p>
<p><strong>A Shocking Discovery at the Clinic</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/0eafe31c868d882a9d2b01c163a83ae092967f08dfac25230655daa99788e8d3" /></strong></p>
<p>Realising the potential seriousness of the situation, Aqila and her husband rushed Hayfa to a nearby clinic. Upon examination, the doctor discovered a horrifying sight: multiple ticks and their eggs nestled deep within the little girl&rsquo;s ear canal.</p>
<p>The doctor noted that the ticks had likely been there for some time, but Hayfa hadn&rsquo;t complained until the pain became noticeable. Aqila speculated that her daughter&rsquo;s high pain tolerance may have masked the issue earlier. Her husband had always emphasised that when Hayfa did complain of pain, it was likely to be something serious.</p>
<p><strong>Painful but Necessary Extraction</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/7abb63494c1c574cede49040c4d390965c5295d21689d9bd44f6a63ddb25dd4d" /></strong></p>
<p>The doctor immediately began the extraction process, carefully removing the ticks and thoroughly cleaning Hayfa&rsquo;s ear to prevent infection. The procedure was painful, as ticks latch onto the skin tightly, making them difficult to dislodge. Despite the discomfort, Hayfa endured the process bravely, earning praise from her mother.</p>
<p>Aqila later shared a video of the procedure, highlighting her daughter&rsquo;s courage throughout the ordeal.</p>
<p><strong>A Warning to Other Parents</strong></p>
<p>Following the incident, Aqila took to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chikbungacraft/posts/pfbid0EauSesVeetjA67vuKpvhZAUeMMEr4DRhYs2ctVcKfxQcUsW4MmY7ezaBxQYMVXB5l">Facebook</a> to share her story, hoping to raise awareness among other parents. She stressed the importance of taking children&rsquo;s complaints of pain seriously, as they could be indicative of more severe issues.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Pain is often the body&rsquo;s way of signalling that something is wrong,&rdquo; Aqila wrote. &ldquo;If your child complains of discomfort, don&rsquo;t ignore it. It&rsquo;s better to be cautious and seek medical advice early.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>Lessons Learned</strong></p>
<p>This distressing experience has underscored the importance of vigilance in parenting. Thanks to her parents&rsquo; quick response after recognising the severity of the situation, Hayfa was able to receive the necessary treatment before the ticks caused further harm.</p>
<p>The incident serves as a stark reminder for all parents to remain attentive to their children&rsquo;s well-being and to trust their instincts when something feels amiss. Sometimes, a simple complaint can uncover a much larger problem waiting to be addressed.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>That&rsquo;s certainly a new fear unlocked! For pet owners, here&rsquo;s an important reminder: if you let your furry friends sleep with you at night, make sure they&rsquo;re free of ticks. Regular checks can help prevent situations like this from happening.</em></span></p>

<p>FWD Insurance Berhad (FWD Insurance) has taken a bold step toward enhancing financial literacy among young Malaysians by teaming up with Arus Academy to launch the Fun(d) for Life - University Edition (FFL Uni) programme. This ambitious initiative, backed by RM1.5 million in grants, is designed to equip 500 university students from across Malaysia with vital financial management skills, creating a pathway toward financial independence and long-term security.</p>
<p><strong>A Comprehensive Three-Month Programme</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/845be5899563310ab969c69efe4242ede6cff88dacfe42790f411b645b0594e9" /></strong></p>
<p>The FFL Uni programme runs over three months, blending education with practical experience to create a comprehensive financial literacy framework. It begins with an intensive three-day bootcamp focusing on essential financial topics such as setting goals, budgeting, and developing tailored financial plans for savings, investments, and protection.</p>
<p>Throughout the programme, participants receive ongoing coaching, personalised mentoring, and tools to monitor expenses, evaluate spending habits, and formulate actionable financial strategies.</p>
<p><strong>Empowering Students Through Community Engagement</strong></p>
<p>A standout feature of the programme is its community engagement component. Each participant will dedicate eight hours to community service, where they&rsquo;ll teach financial literacy principles to at least 20 peers, amplifying the programme&rsquo;s impact. By the end of the programme, students will also receive RM3,000 in the form of savings or fixed deposits, offering them both the knowledge and resources to establish positive financial habits and achieve long-term goals.</p>

<p>The impact of the FFL Uni programme is expected to extend well beyond its 500 direct participants. Through the required community service and additional outreach, it aims to benefit over 10,000 people across Malaysia.</p>
<p>This initiative aligns with FWD Insurance&rsquo;s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives to promote financial inclusion and uplift communities.

FWD Insurance & Arus Academy Roll Out RM1.5 Million Financial Literacy Programme For University Students

<p>In December 2024, Australia made headlines by passing a bold new law banning children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X. This decision made Australia one of the strictest regulators of social media globally, driven by concerns about the platforms' negative effects on young people's mental health and well-being. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasised that the move was necessary to protect young Australians from the "real harm" posed by excessive social media use.</p>
<p>The law, called the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024, is intended to set a global benchmark for tackling the power of technology and its influence on young users. By introducing strict age restrictions, the Australian government hoped to curb the damaging effects of social media, such as cyberbullying, reduced self-esteem, and exposure to harmful content.</p>
<p><strong>Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/3974/australia-passes-ban-of-social-media-for-children-under-16">Australia Passes Ban Of Social Media For Children Under 16</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Malaysia&rsquo;s Approach: A Balanced Strategy</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a5d02ee8fcd308d238de38a3ff0c2c00be0a3560080fbaa83d45931daf49b8fa" /></strong></p>
<p>In contrast, Malaysia has chosen not to follow in Australia&rsquo;s footsteps. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil recently announced that the government has no immediate plans to impose similar age restrictions. Instead, Malaysia is opting for a more measured approach to managing online safety, particularly when it comes to children. Speaking at the Asia International Security Summit and Expo (AISSE) 2025, Fahmi explained, &ldquo;We do not intend to follow exactly what other countries are doing, but we will strike a balance by considering the socio-cultural background and the existing legal and regulatory landscape in our country.&rdquo;</p>
<p>While Australia has taken a hardline stance, Malaysia is focusing on addressing online safety issues through education, awareness campaigns, and collaborative efforts with global regulators. Fahmi highlighted that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is actively working to strengthen ties with international regulatory bodies to combat online crimes and ensure safer digital spaces for all users.</p>
<p><strong>Strengthening Online Safety Measures</strong></p>
<p>Malaysia&rsquo;s approach includes enhancing public awareness and updating existing legislation to better address the challenges of the digital age. Fahmi pointed out that while internet connectivity has become increasingly accessible across the country, it has also opened the door to risks such as online gambling and scams. &ldquo;Balancing access and safety is important, but users must also be educated on basic safety measures. This is what we will implement through our online safety awareness campaigns,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>One of the government&rsquo;s key initiatives is the Online Safety Campaign Roadshow, launched recently in Kelantan. This programme aims to educate Malaysians about the importance of online safety, ways to avoid scams and the legal obligations of social media and messaging service providers. The roadshow will also highlight amendments to the Multimedia and Communications Act 1988 and introduce the new Online Safety Bill, which will include provisions for creating a safer online environment for children.</p>
<p><strong>Learning from Global Examples</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/4ab24a1839fe3ac7b2e3138e25545112e10865cda02b8c323416a2d2189df1c0" /></strong></p>
<p>Although Malaysia is not adopting Australia&rsquo;s strict age restrictions, it is studying international examples of online safety legislation. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching revealed that the government is reviewing not only Australia&rsquo;s policies but also France&rsquo;s regulations, which require parental consent for children under 15 to access social media. These global benchmarks are being examined to determine their suitability within Malaysia&rsquo;s unique socio-cultural and legal context.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Fahmi&rsquo;s recent statements mark a shift from his earlier stance. In the past, the minister called on social media platforms to enforce age restrictions strictly and even hinted at potential discussions with those who failed to comply. Furthermore, MCMC recently published a draft Code of Conduct for Internet Messaging and Social Media Service Providers, which includes a requirement for platforms to implement effective age verification measures. Although this draft is yet to be finalised, it signals the government&rsquo;s intention to hold service providers accountable for ensuring child safety online.</p>
<p><strong>The Importance of Education and Collaboration</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://media.tenor.com/p4THTo31L1kAAAAM/well-on-the-upside-david-rose.gif" /></strong></p>
<p>Rather than imposing outright bans, Malaysia&rsquo;s strategy focuses on education, collaboration, and regulatory improvements. Fahmi stressed the importance of educating users about online risks, stating, &ldquo;When we provide connectivity and bring the internet, we also find that some users tend to get involved in online gambling or fall victim to scams.&rdquo; He added that public awareness campaigns are crucial in equipping users with the knowledge to navigate the digital world safely.</p>
<p>At the same time, Malaysia is leveraging international partnerships to address the growing threat of cybercrime. Fahmi highlighted the need for a collective effort, noting that lessons from other countries&rsquo; regulatory measures can serve as valuable guidance for Malaysia&rsquo;s own policies.</p>
<p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p>
<p>As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Malaysia&rsquo;s decision to take a more balanced approach to online safety reflects its commitment to protecting its citizens while respecting the country&rsquo;s unique cultural and legal environment. While Australia&rsquo;s hardline measures have sparked global debate, Malaysia&rsquo;s focus on education, awareness, and collaboration offers an alternative path to addressing the challenges posed by social media.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">For now, the government&rsquo;s initiatives, such as the Online Safety Campaign Roadshow, aim to foster a safer and more informed online community. Whether this approach will be as effective as stricter regulatory measures remains to be seen, but it underscores Malaysia&rsquo;s dedication to ensuring a secure digital future for its citizens.</span></p>

Communications Minister: M’sian Govt Rules Out Social Media Age Limit

<p>A prominent Malaysian restaurant chain, Oriental Kopi, has found itself in hot water after announcing a temporary hike in its service fees during the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday. Notices displayed at its outlets informed customers that the usual 10% service fee would increase to 15% on January 29 and 30, the first two days of the Lunar New Year.</p>
<p>This increase, on top of the standard 6% Sales and Service Tax (SST), means diners will face an additional 21% in charges on their bills. The announcement has sparked widespread criticism online, with many netizens accusing the restaurant of exploiting the festive season to pass operational costs onto customers.</p>
<p><strong>Public Backlash and Criticism</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/bce03ed9b772456ef63f08cae2359007c2384de0970cff9e2ca1c84a8ca27fe6" /></strong></p>
<p>The decision has drawn the ire of many on social media platforms, with critics questioning the fairness of such a practice. Customers expressed frustration, arguing that businesses should manage increased holiday costs from their profits rather than shifting the burden to diners. Some pointed out that the increased footfall during festive seasons naturally boosts revenue, which could be used to cover extra expenses like higher staff wages.</p>
<p>Several netizens proposed alternative solutions, such as reducing operating hours or temporarily closing if the restaurant cannot manage the increased demand without resorting to higher fees. Others even questioned the legality of the fee hike and tagged the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP) to investigate.</p>
<p>However, a few defended the restaurant, suggesting the hike was justifiable. They noted that businesses must pay double wages during public holidays and are often prohibited from closing by mall policies.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/8705857e68e0824f5da5cdbd0f600d0b7825641d93677e7c2511fdeb05772532" /></p>
<p><strong>Ministry Intervention</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b343212e9624a64a47d9f5f6f447f56d8742929afa6d1df2f875cdf29db586fe" /></p>
<p>In light of the growing public outcry, KPDNHEP has confirmed it will look into the matter. The ministry stated that businesses should not arbitrarily increase charges, especially during significant holidays, without valid justification.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The enforcement unit has taken action to track the parties involved and will summon the restaurant for discussions to determine the reason behind the increase or change in service fees,&rdquo; the ministry said in a statement.</p>
<p>The case is being investigated under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011. This law sets strict penalties for businesses found guilty of unreasonable price hikes or profiteering:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Companies:</strong> Fines of up to RM500,000 for a first offence and up to RM1 million for repeat offences.</li>
<li><strong>Individuals:</strong> Fines of up to RM100,000, a maximum jail term of three years, or both for a first offence. Repeat offenders face fines of up to RM250,000, a maximum jail term of five years, or both.</li>
</ul>
<p>While the ministry has encouraged the public to report similar cases, it noted that no official complaints against Oriental Kopi have been lodged yet.</p>
<p><strong>Recurring Issue</strong></p>
<p>This isn&rsquo;t the first time Oriental Kopi has raised its service fees during the Lunar New Year. Last year, the restaurant reportedly implemented a similar hike, though it went largely unnoticed, as no formal complaints were filed at the time.</p>
<p>This year&rsquo;s controversy, however, has reignited debates about service fees in the food and beverage industry. While some argue that businesses have no choice but to adjust prices to cover holiday expenses, others believe such practices unfairly target consumers during times of celebration.</p>
<p><strong>A Broader Industry Dilemma</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/64b822428b7181e25a7f25705586c72dfdb85c2283bb9e72da6122daf1bf226a" /></strong></p>
<p>The incident highlights the challenges faced by the food and beverage industry during festive seasons. Many restaurants struggle to balance the need to remain profitable with the expectations of customers, especially when operating under increased costs for staffing, ingredients, and logistics.</p>
<p>On the one hand, festive seasons often bring in larger crowds, generating higher revenue. On the other, businesses are also burdened with additional expenses, such as overtime wages for staff, which can double during public holidays.</p>
<p>Some industry experts argue that clear communication and transparency about pricing can help businesses navigate such situations. Instead of last-minute notices, restaurants could pre-emptively inform customers about potential surcharges, giving them a choice to dine elsewhere if they find the fees excessive.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>As KPDNHEP continues its investigation, the public eagerly awaits clarity on whether Oriental Kopi&rsquo;s fee increase breaches regulations. The outcome could set a precedent for how businesses handle price adjustments during peak seasons, particularly in an era where consumers are increasingly vocal about their rights.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>For now, the debate underscores the fine line between maintaining profitability and ensuring customer satisfaction, especially during cultural celebrations that are meant to bring joy rather than financial strain.</em></span></p>

CNY Service Fee Hike At Popular Oriental Kopi Restaurant Chain Sparks Outrage

<p>Since Nigel Ng&mdash;famously known as Uncle Roger&mdash;launched his restaurant, FUIYO! It&rsquo;s Uncle Roger, a lively debate has been brewing among food enthusiasts in Malaysia: who serves the ultimate fried rice? Is it Uncle Roger, the beloved, MSG-loving personality, or Uncle Soon, the iconic purveyor of affordable, mouth-watering fried rice who has been delighting customers since 1990? However, a note for our Muslim readers: Uncle Soon&rsquo;s fried rice is not halal, as it includes pork in its ingredients.</p>
<p>In an exciting twist for fried rice enthusiasts, the iconic Uncle Roger has finally crossed paths with the original legend in the fried rice game&mdash;Uncle Soon. The two culinary personalities went head-to-head in a light-hearted competition dubbed the &ldquo;Battle of the Uncles.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>Who&rsquo;s Uncle Roger and Uncle Soon?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/52fa386be6e48eb4886faa6c35474c8a1e493c93d3e57e6b2eec6a87d25df351" /></strong></p>
<p>Uncle Roger, portrayed by Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, is a beloved online persona known for his comedic food reviews and commentary, particularly on Asian cuisine. Rising to fame in 2020 with his viral critique of a BBC host's egg-fried rice recipe, Uncle Roger combines humour, exaggerated Asian stereotypes, and culinary insights to entertain a global audience. With his signature orange polo shirt, relatable humour, and witty catchphrases like &ldquo;Haiyaa&rdquo; and &ldquo;Fuiyoh,&rdquo; he has amassed millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Nigel Ng's Uncle Roger character has since become a cultural icon, making appearances in stand-up specials and collaborations with renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Uncle Soon Fried Rice is a renowned hawker stall in Subang Jaya, Selangor, celebrated for its flavourful, wok hei-infused fried rice. Established in 1990 by a couple in Alor Setar, the business relocated to Selangor in 2007. Their daughter, Shian, took over operations after completing her SPM in 2013, continuing the family legacy.</p>
<p>The stall's signature dish features fried rice with char siew (barbecued pork) or prawns, topped with a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg and accompanied by a side of spicy sambal belacan. This combination has garnered a loyal following, particularly among university students in the area.</p>
<p>Over the years, Uncle Soon Fried Rice has expanded its presence, opening additional outlets near educational institutions to cater to its student clientele. Notably, branches have been established near Taylor's University and Sunway University. The business has also embraced innovation by exploring the use of vending machines to serve their fried rice, aiming to provide quick and convenient meals for customers with limited time. Despite its growth, Uncle Soon Fried Rice maintains its commitment to quality and tradition, ensuring each plate delivers the authentic taste that has made it a staple in Subang's culinary scene.</p>

<p><strong>Round 1: Arm Wrestling Showdown</strong></p>
<p>The first challenge set the stage with a classic arm-wrestling match. Uncle Soon, despite his reputation in the kitchen, couldn&rsquo;t outmuscle Uncle Roger and lost the initial bout. Undeterred, he suggested a rematch&mdash;but with a twist. This time, they&rsquo;d wrestle using their wok-tossing hands (their left hands).</p>
<p>In a true display of wok-hand dominance, Uncle Soon easily claimed victory in this second round, proving that his frying prowess extends beyond the kitchen.</p>

<p>The second challenge focused on the real test: flavour. Both uncles presented their signature fried rice dishes to a taste-tester, eagerly awaiting the verdict. However, the taster opted for a diplomatic response, declaring that neither dish could beat his own mother&rsquo;s fried rice.</p>
<p>The ambiguous outcome left fans wondering which uncle truly reigns supreme in the fried rice arena.</p>
<p><strong>A Taste of Mutual Respect</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps seeking a definitive answer, Uncle Roger and Uncle Soon decided to sample each other&rsquo;s fried rice. In a show of camaraderie, both uncles were polite and praised the other&rsquo;s culinary skills.</p>
<p>Ever the comedian, Uncle Roger cheekily remarked that Uncle Soon should raise his prices, given the high quality of his food. Upon learning that Uncle Soon charges just RM13 per plate, Uncle Roger even suggested he open a premium outlet called &ldquo;Uncle Soon Plus.&rdquo; Playfully joining in, Uncle Soon quipped that his next venture could be an upgraded restaurant at the prestigious Suria KLCC.</p>
<p><strong>Fans React to the Battle</strong></p>
<p>Netizens couldn&rsquo;t get enough of the friendly banter between the two uncles. Many expressed surprise at Uncle Soon&rsquo;s youthful appearance, expecting an older man in a white singlet frying rice. Some speculated that the person seen in the video might not be Uncle Soon himself but possibly his daughter&rsquo;s partner.</p>
<p>Viewers also applauded the collaboration, appreciating how Uncle Roger was willing to engage with his so-called &ldquo;rival&rdquo; to promote mutual respect and support in the food business.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>

<p><strong>A Wholesome Moment for the Fried Rice Community</strong></p>
<p>The &ldquo;Battle of the Uncles&rdquo; was more than just a contest&mdash;it was a celebration of two culinary icons coming together to entertain their fans and share their love for fried rice. The friendly rivalry, combined with moments of genuine support, struck a chord with viewers and highlighted the joy of camaraderie in the competitive food industry.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>So, who truly holds the crown in the fried rice arena? Perhaps it&rsquo;s a question best left unanswered. After all, it&rsquo;s not about the competition&mdash;it&rsquo;s the shared love of fried rice, and food in general, that unites us all.</em></span></p>

Celebrate This Chinese New Year With “Malaysia’s First” Yee Sang Ice Cream By Inside Scoop!

<p>In a tropical country like Malaysia, it&rsquo;s no surprise that cold treats are a favourite indulgence. And now, there&rsquo;s some delicious news to celebrate: the internationally renowned ice cream brand Dairy Queen is making its long-awaited return! Famous for its signature Blizzard desserts&mdash;so thick they can be flipped upside down without spilling&mdash;Dairy Queen once had a presence in Malaysia but reportedly shut its doors over a decade ago.</p>
<p>While the exact reason for its departure remains unclear, one thing is certain: Malaysians have sorely missed this iconic ice cream chain. Despite its absence here, Dairy Queen has remained a hit in neighbouring Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Thailand. Its ongoing popularity, paired with the fact that its desserts are often more affordable abroad, has kept Malaysian fans yearning for its return. Thankfully, the wait is nearly over. Dairy Queen is set to reopen its first Malaysian outlet at Sunshine Central in Penang!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/2bfe06dbb30a2f3cf8c4f87259eb90229e4e0aaef45f914b96dd5a4647409137" /></p>
<p>The announcement gained traction after a Facebook post by user "I Love To Eat 我就是愛吃喝玩樂" showcased a photo of the "coming soon" Dairy Queen signboard. The post sparked a wave of excitement among netizens, with many warmly welcoming the brand back. Fans are hopeful that this time, Dairy Queen will establish a lasting presence in Malaysia and expand across the nation, particularly to the Klang Valley, where demand is expected to be high.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Dairy Queen?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b3b9392f08a18e6f2b7595c21311d2d317a1e3935ef0fb6f8181e3a829c1f1be" /></strong></p>
<p>Dairy Queen (DQ) is a popular American chain of soft-serve ice cream and fast-food restaurants, known for its iconic Blizzard treats and family-friendly menu. Founded in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois, by Sherb Noble, Dairy Queen began as a small store selling soft-serve ice cream, a product developed by co-founder John Fremont McCullough and his son Bradley. Their unique soft-serve formula became an instant success, leading to the rapid expansion of the brand.</p>
<p>Over the decades, Dairy Queen evolved from an ice cream-focused shop to a full-service restaurant offering burgers, fries, and other fast-food items alongside its signature desserts. Notable menu items include the Blizzard, introduced in 1985, which allows customers to mix soft-serve ice cream with candy, cookies, or fruit. The Blizzard quickly became a cultural phenomenon and remains one of DQ&rsquo;s most beloved products.</p>
<p>Today, Dairy Queen operates thousands of locations worldwide, from North America to Asia and the Middle East, making it one of the most recognizable names in the fast-food and dessert industry. Owned by Berkshire Hathaway since 1998, DQ continues to innovate while staying true to its roots as a place for indulgent treats and family enjoyment.</p>
<p><strong>Excitement and Criticism</strong></p>
<p>In another post shared by Instagram account @penangfoodie, local fans expressed their anticipation for Dairy Queen&rsquo;s reopening. While many are eager to visit Sunshine Central in Penang to enjoy their favourite treats, others criticized the choice of location, saying it&rsquo;s less accessible for those outside the region.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e287b62ca290f21922141ab5e2a61728f6a274ce138aafd8312852306fb9da45" /></p>
<p>For now, no official opening date has been announced, but the buzz surrounding Dairy Queen&rsquo;s return is undeniable. Keep an eye out for updates, and prepare to indulge in the rich, creamy goodness of their desserts once they open!</p>

Dairy Queen Is Making A Sweet Comeback In Malaysia With A New Outlet Opening In Penang

<p>Over the past two months, social media has been abuzz with news about local comedian Nigel Ng, better known by his stage persona Uncle Roger, as he made his foray into the restaurant scene with the launch of his FUIYOH! It&rsquo;s Uncle Roger's eatery.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The excitement shows no signs of slowing down, and the comedian appears to be thriving in his culinary venture, with outlets already established in Pavilion Elite KL, MyTOWN, and IPC Mall. Looking ahead, he aims to expand his chain to 15&ndash;20 locations across Malaysia by 2025.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/960b4d4079fa1320dfc94ea0b3e3ba642d19015330e10f353353676f24dc9a1a" /></p>
<p>Recently, Uncle Roger grabbed headlines once again after roasting Mr. D.I.Y. and introducing an RM2 lower price at his newly opened MyTOWN outlet, alongside offering larger portions. He explained the pricing adjustment by pointing out the differences in audience demographics&mdash;Pavilion caters to high-end stores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, while MyTOWN offers more accessible shopping options for the general public.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Now it&rsquo;s RM16, no matter what outlet you at&mdash;MyTown, IPC, Pavilion, all 16 Ringgit. Yes, now all fry rice 16 Ringgit,&rdquo; he shared in the video, encouraging everyone to try his special fried rice.</p>
<p>The announcement follows earlier pricing variations between outlets, where the fried rice at Pavilion was priced at RM18, while the MyTOWN branch offered it at RM16 with a larger portion. With the new pricing structure, all outlets now serve the dish at a consistent and affordable RM16, providing uniformity and accessibility for all customers.</p>
<p><strong>Niece And Nephews Still Think His Prices Are Too Expensive</strong></p>
<p>The announcement of the lower price sparked mixed reactions from netizens in the comments. Many praised the move for its transparency and for ensuring a consistent dining experience across all outlets, regardless of location. However, some felt that RM16 for a plate of fried rice was still on the pricey side, especially given the rising cost of living in the city centre due to inflation.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Others suggested that instead of reducing the price, increasing the portion size would make the meal feel more worth the money.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>By focusing on affordability, it seems more Malaysians can now visit the restaurant to enjoy some delicious fried rice. While the dish has won praise from many, including netizens and even popular streamer IShowSpeed, there have been instances where the overall experience of getting the fried rice wasn&rsquo;t entirely smooth for some customers.</em></span></p>
