Menu Rahmah

Breakfaast

The Menu Rahmah initiative has really taken Malaysia by storm recently. Restaurants nationwide had joined in the initiative as a way to help the less fortunate
to have better food security with the current inflation situation happening.
But if you thought small restaurants were the only ones practising it, food chains such as McDonald&rsquo;s and Texas Chicken are also practising the initiative by offering food at an affordable RM5 price.
Did IKEA Just Join In The Menu Rahmah Initiative?

It looks like this time, the Swedish Furniture company who&rsquo;s also very well known for its food is also joining in the initiative by offering meals as low as RM3.50!
Recently, TikTok user @aazhimah shared a video featuring a variety of food from IKEA at a low price, especially their mee goreng which is offered at only RM0.50 a plate.

Some of the food featured in the video were:
<ul>
<li>Mee Goreng &ndash; RM0.50</li>
<li>Scrambled Eggs &amp; Waffles &ndash; RM5.90</li>
<li>Nasi Lemak Ayam &ndash; RM5.90</li>
<li>Egg Tart &ndash; RM2.50</li>
</ul>
But wait, why are these foods so cheap? In a report by Sin Chew Daily, IKEA has not officially launched a Menu Rahmah menu yet but has always provided customers with an affordable breakfast menu to choose from. The one specific menu of the RM0.50 Mee Goreng is specifically at the Batu Kawan outlet in Penang.
All IKEA branches in Malaysia provide an affordable breakfast menu which has different affordable dishes every day ranging between RM3.50 to RM7.90.&nbsp;

For those wanting to grab themselves a nice affordable local or even western meal, you can head over to any of the IKEA outlets between 9:30 am to 11 am daily. Aside from their selection of food for breakfast, those who want to grab a quick snack can also head over to the Swedish Bistro which offers a variety of food at reasonable prices too. Plus, they currently have a new menu that&rsquo;s available for a limited time only between 6 March to 31 May 2023.

RM 5.80 for coffee, a curry puff, a hot dog and ice cream? Count me in!
If you want to check out what food IKEA has you can check out this restaurant's prices <a href="https://www.ikea.com/my/en/stores/restaurant/">here</a> and their Swedish Bistro <a href="https://www.ikea.com/my/en/stores/restaurant/bistro-puba16e14e1">here</a>.
Despite the breakfast menu being around for quite some time now, it&rsquo;s never any harm to let everyone know that it exists as many Malaysians on a daily struggle to find affordably priced food. Hopefully, IKEA does introduce a Menu Rahmah one day so that many Malaysians could enjoy the IKEA food experience.

Did IKEA Just Introduce Their Own Version Of Menu Rahmah? 

Have you been experiencing a slight dip in your health and air quality lately?
If you haven't already noticed, or perhaps had to clear your foggy glasses, it's that time of the year when Malaysians need to brace themselves for poor air quality caused by the annual forest fires in certain parts of Indonesia.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/278de1e9c6b430605f5b39aa372b5de95f25fb5426a79eb6eaa2209916159cd5" />
Indonesia has been grappling with recurrent forest fires for quite some time now. In case you've been living under a rock, these fires are far from natural; in fact, they're deliberately ignited as the quickest (albeit most detrimental) means of clearing extensive land for agricultural purposes. While they may be intentionally started, fires are an inherent part of nature, and sometimes they spiral out of control, leading to extensive burning that exacerbates global temperature rise and air pollution.
Now, the pertinent question is whether Indonesia is shouldering any responsibility to combat the haze that extends to Malaysia. Brace yourselves; the answer won't come as a shock, as it's a resounding "no."
Indonesia&rsquo;s Environment Minister Denies Accusation Of Causing Haze
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d981cbdeff5e6ffcf67a834ee4e45fa50b78e204156538d33b6abf7a783f87f6" />
Even though clear geographical maps vividly display the wind patterns carrying haze from Indonesia into Malaysia, Indonesia's Environment and Forest Minister, Siti Nurbaya Bakar, responded to accusations of her country's responsibility for the haze. She contended that the reports on smoke distribution failed to demonstrate smoke crossing over to Malaysia.
In a press conference held in Jakarta, she asserted, "We diligently monitor the situation, and the data indicates no transboundary haze affecting Malaysia. In fact, the reports illustrate that the smoke in Indonesia is primarily concentrated in Sumatra and Kalimantan."
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a60a00fed6971a403c8568016bb02a09ab343f63ea01b5c9ffad4e4a13972b95" /> Uhhh, are you sure about that?
Siti also emphasized that Indonesian authorities are actively engaged in managing the smoke and have issued warnings to the 203 companies responsible for forest burning. In a significant move, they have also shuttered 20 companies participating in these activities, including those that are subsidiaries of Malaysian firms.
The Malaysian Environment Department attributes the country's deteriorating air quality to the transboundary haze originating from Indonesia, which has persisted since Friday, September 29th. As of 10 am today, October 3rd, the Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS) reported an Air Pollutant Index (API) of 157 in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, making it the most severely affected area by the haze.
Netizen Calls Out Indonesian Minister
The minister's comments quickly gained traction on social media, sparking widespread outrage among netizens who expressed their frustration with the recurring haze problem. Many criticized Siti for her statement and called on her to take greater responsibility for addressing the issue of open burning, which leads to the annual return of hazardous haze to Malaysia, often reaching severe levels.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

If You Thought It Was Bad In Malaysia, It&rsquo;s Doing Worse In Indonesia
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/037a165db0bea311e27d84abbc4e5b4e30586aa3a46d5cfcbce764b99a1fb78f" />
In case you weren't aware, Jakarta was ranked as the world's most polluted city by IQAir, a Swiss air quality technology company. They reported that the city consistently records unhealthy levels of air pollution nearly every day. Due to the severe pollution problem in the capital, Jakarta has undertaken several initiatives to combat air pollution. One significant effort involved the installation of 125 water mist generators throughout the city.
Furthermore, an additional 28 water mist units are currently being installed as part of the government's determined efforts to improve air quality. To address this issue, they have also introduced a protocol for watering over 290 road locations across Jakarta, collaborating with the city's Fire and Rescue Service department.
In response to these air quality concerns, residents of Jakarta have been strongly advised to wear KN95 or KN94 masks when outdoors. The Jakarta Health Service Department has cautioned against unnecessary outdoor activities to minimize exposure to polluted air.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1e0f0be95886efe02c7b453f1dadaef465ea7b34b65032a647cfab019353093d" />
As for the ongoing forest fires, tackling them has become quite challenging because Indonesia is currently experiencing its driest season since 2019, primarily attributed to the influence of the El Nino weather pattern. The situation has resulted in significant forest fires, with over 267,900 hectares (661,995.3 acres) of land burned this year alone. To put this into perspective, it's larger than the total of 204,894 hectares burned throughout the entirety of 2022, according to data from the environment ministry. Consequently, this has led to the spread of haze to numerous cities in Sumatra and Borneo.
Siti's comments as an environmental minister are concerning. Let's hope the Indonesian government takes effective measures to reduce the haze in the coming years.

Here's the display of comments made by netizens in YouTube for being proud of Pei Ling's achievement and that she received praises widely from her fans: 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d7d26c382ad9d00aafa6ab4f0c0d167d5eb628a550fdaa6b5b7f4eed40971e2c" />
At the tender age of eight, Pei Ling participated in numerous and diverse singing competitions in China. She secured herself as the winner of the Water Cube Cup overseas Chinese youth singing contest back in 2014. Moreover, she also went for the Sing! China in 2016 and made herself as one of the finalists in which she was widely known for her strong vocal performance, and one of it was the 'Fight Song' that she sang. 
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eiHiymqdPCY" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
She told the public boldly with her piece of advice mentioning &ldquo;Whatever it is you wish to do, be brave and pursue it! Adventurers, don&rsquo;t be afraid or give up easily. If I can do it, so can you!&rdquo;
This is where we can relate to her brave singing voice when long ago she sang a song by A-Mei, &lsquo;勇敢&rsquo; (Brave). At such a young age, she already aimed to courageously chase her little adventurous dream which she was truly passionate about. 
It has been 15 years since she started singing and she said &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not easy to keep singing until now. Every time I want to give up, I tell myself to hang in there for a little while more. This time, I can finally confidently say that I did it!&rdquo;
Here are the two videos that portrayed her splendid singing performance for The Next 2023:&nbsp;

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8sUmvjhQc-w" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In the end, hasn't all her hard work paid off?
Congratulations Pei Ling for making us all proud that aspiring singers can emulate you to be &lsquo;The Next Boleh&rsquo;!&nbsp;

Malaysian Born Singer Proudly Secured Herself With Remarkable Fame As The Winner Of "The Next 2023!"

Residing in Malaysia, broaching the subject of religion can be rather delicate, given that many have faced accusations of showing disrespect towards religious beliefs, while others have cynically used it to gain popularity.
In our multiracial nation, harmonious coexistence and mutual respect for each other's religions have traditionally been the norm, often culminating in the joint celebration of festive occasions. However, regrettably, this harmonious spirit appears to elude certain individuals.
Young Malaysian Uses Christianity As His Aesthetics
Lately, a young Malaysian caught the attention of a Twitter user who uses the handle <a href="https://twitter.com/cass48374/status/1708422070940709183">Wentour or @cass48374</a>. This individual posted a series of tweets unveiling someone's disrespectful behaviour towards Christianity. The hope expressed was that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) would initiate suitable actions against the individual in question, including their arrest.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/36af528efc6100ea8c137669ae7b3a11554915082d6640e1aa83eac774783579" />
According to the Twitter thread, a young individual named Razeeq has come under scrutiny for posting offensive content on both his Instagram and TikTok accounts. As per the original poster (OP), this issue began a couple of months ago when Razeeq shared pictures on his TikTok account featuring himself and a friend posing beside graves in a Christian cemetery late at night. This act prompted criticism, with many condemning it as an offensive "photoshoot" that displayed a lack of respect for the deceased.
Despite facing substantial backlash in the comments section of his TikTok posts, Razeeq remained unapologetic and refused to acknowledge his wrongdoing. The controversy centres around his affinity for metal music, and he sought to emulate photos by artists who often incorporate Christian imagery in their album covers, music videos, and promotional photoshoots. An individual claiming to know Razeeq personally came forward to offer an apology on his behalf. However, despite their attempts to advise him, these efforts proved unsuccessful.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e8bf0f066da7e02097961988378b75c78b43f23a30e036a9e94671e36220d9ce" />
Within the thread, the OP included screenshots of comments made by TikTok users, illustrating Razeeq's reactions to most of those comments. Some of these comments were highly critical, to the point where the OP's initial call-out of Razeeq on TikTok resulted in the suspension of the user's account. It's worth noting that some of Razeeq's comments were also notably harsh in tone.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/143d400a9222310e3cdb2f18252acafbdf06d27a82120b36e7894f9a6f0c52c3" />
In the posts that Razeeq shared, one of them included a photo featuring a screenshot from a page of a Batman comic titled "The Blasphemy of Batman." In this comic page, the beloved DC superhero Batman is depicted observing a bloodied and vandalized statue of Jesus Christ within a church.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/13ae34c249fe1578223b9fa06408e1d698bae0f7f75d9c92e713451b5839e56d" />
Concluding the thread, the Twitter user expresses their hope that the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will initiate suitable actions against Razeeq. The user emphasizes their belief that every religion imparts valuable teachings, and it falls upon individuals to propagate those messages positively.
Netizens Criticize Razeeq
At the time of writing, the post has accumulated more than 679.7k views, over 5.6k reposts, and more than 5k likes on the platform. Numerous Malaysian Christians and Muslims also participated in the comments section, expressing their condemnation of Razeeq's actions as a form of disrespect towards religion.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Following the viral spread of the issue on Twitter, it appears that Razeeq has deactivated both his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This action suggests that Razeeq may have realized the magnitude of trouble he could be in due to the posts. Currently, there has been no official statement from the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) regarding the matter, and Wentour has not provided any further updates on the issue.
It's important to emphasize that making light of or using one's religion as part of an "aesthetic" lifestyle is not a respectful way to treat any religion. Hopefully, authorities will thoroughly investigate this issue, and justice can be served accordingly.

M’sian TikToker Exposed After Having Publicly Disrespecting Christianity On Social Media

Education plays a pivotal role for students from various backgrounds because with education, their future can be brightened and more human capital can be produced for the country&rsquo;s growth and stability be it for economic, political, or social reasons. 
Nothing brings more joy when students are eligible for free tertiary education to further their studies and pursue their dreams. This is true in the case of Sarawakian students. Recently, Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg officially announced that students from Sarawak who are eligible to enter into the institutes will be able to pursue their free tertiary education at state-owned universities from the year 2026 onwards. 
The five state-owned universities include Curtin University, Swinburne University, University of Technology Sarawak (UTS), i-CATS University College, and lastly, the Kolej Laila Taib (KLT).

<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSarawakkuNadiInformasiRakyat%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0Wdm6tn24mD2zn1nm1wJevPQDBUgs4MyjNsVXt8Yd7jC2GQZD9mNSMSLPdbKJmVLtl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Understanding the economic strength of the state and being the Sarawak finance and new economy minister, Abang Johari ascertained that the Sarawak government is strong enough to provide educational support in the coming three years as a means to produce more qualified Sarawakians and enable them to have access to new technology for the state&rsquo;s development. 
He had consulted the Education, Innovation, and Talent Development Minister Datuk Roland Sagah Wee Inn as well as his Deputy Datuk Dr. Annuar Rapaee. Together, they researched the feasibility of providing free tertiary education to their own Sarawakian students in the state-owned universities mentioned. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c63bc23663cda1e833e84baf96d9d71a3f6252abc06f925eb34d8cb2371d7c5b" />
He further went on with his statement by saying &ldquo;Based on the figure of this study, I believe that under the 13th Malaysia Plan, we will be able to give free tertiary education to Sarawakians by 2025 or 2026.&rdquo; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/63e2eb141c4f398550831e28fa2a0a7e8faf557eb982325e8c9a0a40ae445ae9" />
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the 20th edition of the Tidal Bore Festival in Simanggang on the 1st of October, Sunday, he revealed confidently that he foresees the future economic condition will be much stronger, and by that time, it will be a suitable year to conduct it. 
Why did he confidently say so?
According to him, the yearly projection of Sarawak&rsquo;s income has rocketed since 2020. Moreover, Sarawak had a recorded revenue of RM12 billion last year and he believes this year will be more fruitful than the previous. 
He also stated that there was a fund known as the &lsquo;Sarawak Sovereign Wealth Future Fund.&rsquo; To date, the fund is sufficient to offer free tertiary education, and the remaining balance will go to young Sarawakians besides boosting the state&rsquo;s economy as well as enhancing the infrastructure development throughout the state.&nbsp; 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2eaba9d3f211786b1532643d602cd2944fa32036787d05a4b18902fc743e17bc" />
Previously, it was reported that Sarawak planned a sovereign wealth fund with RM8 million as the starting amount to build up the state&rsquo;s financial sustainability. As such, it intends to begin the fund by the year 2024. 
Sarawak is said to have a promising future and he encouraged the people to have the &lsquo;muhibah&rsquo; spirit with the aim of keeping unity alive besides working together as a means to elevate the state to greater heights. 
He associated his impactful saying with the regatta boat race at Pesta Benak which emphasized that the paddlers row together in one direction when all of them have a common goal of winning the race.

Among those who were present namely Abang Johari&rsquo;s wife Puan Sri Datuk Amar Juma&rsquo;ani Tuanku Bujang, Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, Sarawak Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, Deputy Minister for Education, Innovation and Talent Development II (Talent Development) Datuk Francis Harden Hollis, Sri Aman MP Dato Sri Doris Sophia Brodie as well as Sri Aman Division resident Abang Mohamad Porkan Abang Budiman.

Empowering Sarawak: Free Tertiary Education On the Horizon By 2026

Over the past few weeks, social media has been abuzz with discussions about the new women-only MRT coach on the Kajang Line. The introduction of this coach aims to provide a safe space for women during their train commutes, responding to the safety concerns raised by multiple harassment cases that have occurred at stations and onboard trains.
While many women have welcomed this initiative with enthusiasm, it has also faced criticism from both men and women. Some have questioned why the MRT system implemented a women-only coach instead of addressing the frequency issues, which are the main cause of congestion during peak hours. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the lack of security personnel around the station, despite the known harassment issues in the past.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/83f80f4fcf7812ac1f0f9448c8f513b7a7a4833340ca27bf26edc9cf0afae5a2" />
RapidKL also established a guideline specifying that the women's coach would be positioned in the middle of the train and distinguished by prominently visible pink stickers on the platform, doors, and intermediate carriages. However, one might wonder about its effectiveness thus far.
Foodpanda Rider Chases Away Men In The Women&rsquo;s Coach
A TikTok video recently went viral, capturing the moment when a Foodpanda rider took the initiative to request male passengers occupying the women-only MRT coach to leave. This act of intervention earned him widespread admiration among online netizens.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@jai.samud/video/7284639162924322050" data-video-id="7284639162924322050">

</blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

A video shared by TikTok user @jai.samud featured a Foodpanda rider politely asking foreign passengers to vacate the women-only MRT coach. He took the time to explain that this particular coach was designated exclusively for women. The video was captioned, "Abang Food Panda shows genuine concern by ushering men away from the women&rsquo;s section."
From the video, it appeared that the foreign men were unaware that they were in the women's coach, and they seemed oblivious to or misunderstood the "women-only coach" signage. While the Foodpanda rider did the right thing by informing them of their mistake, some of the men expressed dissatisfaction and questioned the rider's actions.
Netizens Praise The Rider For His Efforts
At the time of writing, the video has amassed more than 697,000 views and received over 45,000 Likes on the platform. Numerous netizens, both men and women, praised the rider's actions, acknowledging that this small gesture held significant meaning for women commuters. Many also made light-hearted suggestions, suggesting that the rider should consider a role as an auxiliary police officer for train stations and even be compensated for assisting in train patrols.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/901325a571daed00744e0493bd68d1c433c79231a44c12df7da3d3548a5c8859" />
Hats off to the rider, as his simple act of kindness can ripple through and positively influence those around him, particularly by enhancing the sense of safety within the women's designated MRT coach.

M'sian Foodpanda Rider Applauded For Clearing Men From Women-Only MRT Coach

Char kuey teow is indeed one of the Asian cuisines favoured by many, whether Singaporeans or Malaysians. But when we order a plate of this dish, not all of us would like to include bean sprouts because, for some of us, it is not to our liking. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7520ea0001a8440665441ba2998f9d9648321787002cacdb7fddeccb2ad5a117" />
Recently, a Singaporean diner named Steven Wong was shocked by the additional charge of 50 cents when he requested &ldquo;no bean sprouts.&rdquo; He told the puzzled incident to <a href="https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/might-well-pick-them-out-myself-diner-baffled-bukit-panjang-hawkers-50-cent-charge-remove">Asia One</a> on September 26, Tuesday when he was aware of a sign in Mandarin at a stall named &lsquo;Wu Fu coffee shop&rsquo; located in Fajar Shopping Centre whereby additional ingredients like seafood, egg, and beansprouts would be for S$2 (~RM 6.88), S$1 (~RM 3.44), and S$0.50 (~RM 1.72).
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7aa4f77562f5e6bc156c68a5b1f0a3d5e43c0271c6396934bb8974b200e2bb95" />
However amusing it was, the confusing part is that you are still being charged an extra 50 cents (~RM 1.72) for the removal of bean sprouts, but why? Logically, when an ingredient is removed, there shouldn&rsquo;t be an extra charge. But in this case, the 50-year-old female owner explained with her justifications that they only have 3 woks at their stall, and normally, they cook about 4 to 5 portions at once. So, when a customer&rsquo;s order is without beansprouts, they ought to make a new batch for them. With that, it consumes a lot of their time as well as the energy spent.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/326e5306a5990f2ee81159b9292a36e0b70852c970113ae334f7b874092d48a5" />
Therefore, this clearly indicates that preparing bean sprouts truly eats up a lot of time when there are customers who demand to not have bean sprouts for their char kway teow. 
Besides selling fried char kway teow, the owner, Madam Goh, had 20 years of experience in cooking carrot cake, oyster omelettes, and fried bee hoon. 
Her stall has been operating in Fajar Shopping Centre for two months and she shared her experience that she did encounter a customer who ordered three packets of it &ndash; the first was pure noodles, the second was with pure kway teow, followed by the third with pure rice noodles. As such, the customers behind would need to line up in a long queue while awaiting their dish to be readily served. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/93bc5396471fcd8a012ecd57752f04b2b2b2933d33787d2c76da830d2ae71b13" />
Despite the extra charge seeming reasonable from the owner&rsquo;s point of view, nevertheless, there are Singaporean customers like Steven who found it ridiculous that he felt it was not worth paying the extra price. He furthered on by saying that he would rather pick out the bean sprouts by himself than have his 50-cent pocket money gone. 
Are Singaporeans trying to be more &lsquo;kiasu&rsquo; nowadays?
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hyrEOOJThdI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d9b5e8aa961faf6a654a1c6f9da6e74ee675ee9e39650f151b3822efa9b71234" />
Another customer named Tan agreed that the price should remain the same when a customer requests to exclude bean sprouts. However, Tan in an understanding manner explained that the reason behind the surcharge is due to them cooking it in bulk and when a customer wants to remove bean sprouts, they will be required to cook it separately at different times. 
Regardless, Goh mentioned that the list of additional charges has been listed ever since the stall opened. So, it is up to the customers&rsquo; preferences on how they would like their money to be spent, and blaming the owner is like pointing fingers at others in regard to their own displeasure. She added that displaying the price list is a way of making things easier for them as well as for customers. 
What do you think about the surcharge for bean sprouts, and would you rather include bean sprouts in your char kway teow when you encounter such a situation?

When a petty S$ 0.50 additional charge for bean sprouts has become a shocking and viral incident to many Singaporeans!

Singaporean Diner’s Frustration Over A Surcharge S$ 0.50 For Bean Sprouts Removal!

A recent viral post in Malaysia took many by surprise when a customer claimed to have been billed RM10.60 for additional chilli sauce packets. Saiful Adly Abdul Wahab, who originally shared the post on Facebook, expressed astonishment at the exorbitant charge for 10 packets of chilli sauce. In truth, McDonald's customers typically receive additional sauce packets at no extra cost.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsaifuladlyabdwahab%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02x6iMZKQ43TwfjNhjo1RboXC1UPNaVg6VKSfohYray98BwL9siYLJQMdiYyYTJcMel&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="628" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In his post, Saiful Adly openly expressed his frustration with the incident, igniting a wave of anger among customers who felt they were being unjustly billed. The receipt he shared online indicated a charge of RM1.06 per bag of chilli sauce, causing many other patrons to share in his outrage. Some individuals defended McDonald's by suggesting this pricing might be a cost-saving measure in the face of escalating global expenses, while others decried the situation as unfair, noting that sauce is typically provided free of charge.
As of the time of writing, Saiful Adly's Facebook post had garnered more than 1.1K reactions, over 1.7K comments, and 403 shares.
McDonald's Malaysia Address Issue And Will Be Taking Action Against Shaiful Adly
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7711733971cbeda2e5298d8e788c834cb06141fa259002de1059ad17a6559ec1" />
Upon discovering the situation, McDonald's Malaysia has addressed the incident that occurred at their Taman Buaya branch in Melaka. Following an internal inquiry and a review of CCTV footage, it was revealed that the customer initially received an insufficient amount of chilli sauce but was promptly provided with extra packets upon request.
However, the situation took a turn when the customer, despite being informed that the additional chilli sauce was complimentary, became verbally aggressive toward the staff. He insisted on paying for an extra 10 packets of chilli sauce. Subsequently, the incident was reported to the police as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of their employees. McDonald's emphasized that the welfare and well-being of their crew members remain their top priority.
Netizens Share Their Thoughts On The Incident 
As the post began to circulate widely on social media, numerous internet users chimed in with their opinions regarding the incident. Even former Tanjung MP Ng Wei Aik took notice, remarking that McDonald's seemed to be causing unnecessary confusion. He questioned the logic behind the POS system generating a receipt for chilli sauce, an item that is not intended for sale.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnweiaik%2Fposts%2Fpfbid029tG613Bc9BL2vDj28kPqMoGAJgvTfqR9BPQv7zg1VErN7MRXwNuZ6XzCcBMne8H4l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="667" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
He argues that it's unjust for McDonald's to impose charges on customers for something that is typically provided at no cost. He also believes that McDonald's has overreacted by involving the police, considering the relatively minor nature of the issue.
Meanwhile, several other social media users took to the comments section to share their own encounters with McDonald's when ordering food. The majority of these experiences were positive. However, there were instances where some customers had less favourable experiences, such as outlets limiting sauce packets to just two per customer or even ignoring requests for extra sauce.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/376517fda2e9e9a2fae50d970ef7c93d7e0d5f232a6a76a96b50cec4200bf674" />
Noteworthy among the comments were individuals who were specifically asking for tomato sauce. This is because numerous outlets appeared to frequently indicate that it was unavailable and many would prefer to have the option to choose their sauces.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d8c49f70fcd465e0f35ef2b5574fb5d908f6772fd4184a89f9460e9e1fd94625" />
As someone who only occasionally orders McDonald's, I can attest that asking for tomato sauce with our meals can feel nearly impossible. Even if we leave a note requesting tomato sauce, we often receive extra packets of chilli sauce instead.
To be honest, the situation seems a bit excessive, and involving the police may not have been necessary. Hopefully, things turn out well for Saiful Adly, as he is just one of the many frustrated McDonald's customers who have had such experiences.

When contemplating our meal options, chicken rice invariably crosses our thoughts, whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
A simple and easily prepared meal that can fill our stomach with delicious bites. Yet a decent meal with a bowl of rice and a plate of chicken can be hauntingly hefty if you unknowingly venture to a Michelin restaurant!
When Chicken Rice Robs Your Money
Some customers are willing to shell out for an expensive meal, while others are not. A recent diner named Edwin Lu, who indulged in a delectable chicken rice feast at Wong Mei Kee restaurant, was left utterly flabbergasted and bemused when he received a bill exceeding RM80 for the entire meal!

He felt that it wasn&rsquo;t worth the monetary value. He ordered two sets of roasted pork belly (Siew Yok) and roasted chicken rice coupled with two herbal teas amounting to RM81.60 in total inclusive of 6% service tax. 
However flabbergasted Edwin felt, still there was a menu showing the variety of food with its quoted prices. This is to say he had the opportunity to look at it before ordering but why the surprise? 
A Michelin Restaurant
Edwin may not have been aware that the restaurant holds a Michelin star. In fact, this restaurant often referred to colloquially as the "Datuk roast pork" eatery, is owned by an individual who has been honoured with the title of Datuk. Consequently, patrons like Edwin are not only paying for the delectable chicken rice but also for the prestige associated with the owner's Datukship and the high-quality cuisine served at the establishment.

Datuk Wong is seen as a one-man show who does almost everything by himself. From marinating the meat to roasting and eventually chopping. As such, the king deserves to have his throne, doesn&rsquo;t he?

Located at a humble Pudu, it opens daily for three hours only during the lunch peak hours except Monday. So, can you imagine how crowded it will be and how long will the queue be when only three hours are available to have your chicken rice moment?

Jaw-Dropping Chicken Rice Bill Leaves M’sian Diner Speechless!

In the past few weeks, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has become a prominent topic on social media. Historically, MAS has been renowned for its exceptional hospitality and service, often considered one of the finest among Malaysia's domestic airlines.
Frequent travellers, whether within the country or abroad, have typically preferred MAS for their air travel. Nevertheless, the airline has recently faced negative attention due to extensive critique of its in-flight dining options.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f40e9e34c316503f3c217b4b84eb63a2c9ef93b3436a6ecacb2300a4d5a9040d" />
For those who might not be aware, the airline has ended its long-standing partnership with Brahim's Holdings Bhd, which had been its in-flight caterer for more than 25 years, making the end of terrible in-flight meals as they have been subjected to heavy criticism. While the plan was to transition to MAS Awana, their subsidiary catering service, the process has encountered some challenges.

MAS X AirAsia Santan?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1f57e0fbb4f736a885e50916ab2d364ff38c2defbaa25181ff97ee2b1f2f0e9f" />
Recently, Tony Fernandes, the CEO of Capital A, has expressed interest in a potential partnership between AirAsia's subsidiary airline caterer, Santan, and Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) to offer in-flight meals. He also mentioned his openness to a joint venture with MAG for the acquisition of the remaining 70% stake in Brahim's Food Service (BFS) Sdn Bhd.
&ldquo;If AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines work together, we could make so much business together. That kitchen can go to Thailand, it can go everywhere,&rdquo; he stated.
This proposal for a joint venture may have arisen in response to the criticism MAS received regarding its in-flight food offerings. Passengers on certain flights were advised to "Bring Your Own Food," and currently, only specific routes provide meal options. Short-haul flights receive pre-packaged meals, while long-haul flights receive revised meal offerings.

Nonetheless, Fernandes indicated that the feasibility of this partnership would be contingent on the cost of acquiring the 70% stake in Brahim's. He expressed reservations about the RM129 million price, excluding any goodwill, as he found it to be somewhat excessive. Furthermore, he mentioned that Capital A had already expressed interest in having Santan collaborate with MAS long before the MAS-Brahim partnership concluded. Additionally, he challenged the perception that BFS held a monopoly in the airline catering industry, asserting that there were numerous other viable options in the market.
Is Santan The Best Choice For Airline Catering?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d4a70fcb448b66d72b567aae27c5b715c4e64442b3c0dca85b375525185482fe" /> *Prices subject to change 
Given the relatively limited options available, Santan appears to meet the criteria as a suitable company to assist in catering for MAS. There are several compelling reasons for this, including their prior experience in catering for AirAsia flights and their widespread franchise stores across Asia, which bolsters their reputation as a dependable company. Additionally, Santan boasts an extensive menu, and numerous netizens have voiced their opinion that Santan's in-flight cuisine ranks among the most flavourful airline meals in Southeast Asia.

I'm for this as AirAsia's food is actually one of the tastier airline food, by quite a margin in my books.

Siapa caterer Santan AirAsia? The food was delicious! Dulu ada satu brownies yang sedap gila, complimentary kalau pre-booked! &amp;&amp;&amp; suka snack box dia, senang takyah pening ada sweet &amp; savoury. Tbh, Santan is affordable.

While we previously covered an article in which a Chinese tourist expressed their dissatisfaction with AirAsia's Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak, claiming it tasted poor, it's worth noting that this is just one of several instances where individuals have had less than satisfactory experiences.

Having personally sampled a variety of meals provided by Santan on flights, I can attest that they are quite delicious. I would particularly recommend the 'Thai Basil Chicken with Rice' and their 'Bukhara Chicken Biryani,' both of which offer a satisfying burst of flavours, ensuring a fulfilling in-flight dining experience.
While the prospect of MAS enlisting Santan as their meal provider seems promising, there remains a question regarding the suitability of Santan's offerings for Business and First-Class passengers, who may have different culinary expectations during their flights.

Like, who could ever replace MAS&rsquo;s iconic Satay in-flight meal which till now stands as one of the best options ever served by the airlines.

Could this solve the woes of Malaysia Airline’s in-flight meal services?
