In the wake of the pandemic, a wave of layoffs has left countless individuals unemployed, with job seekers struggling to secure employment in the ongoing economic downturn. In response, many have resorted to taking on multiple jobs, some juggling several positions simultaneously, all in a bid to bolster their income and ensure their financial stability.
&nbsp;
Allow us to introduce Mohamad Hazreel Mazlan, a 31-year-old resident of Taman Melawati, Selangor. In early June of this year, he embarked on a coffee venture, delighting patrons with his aromatic brew at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lujayns_coffee/">lujayns_coffee.</a>

By day, Hazreel works at a trading company, but when night falls, he becomes a coffee aficionado, running his own coffee business out of his car's trunk. He's doing it all to save up for his wedding, and let's face it, managing two jobs isn't a walk in the park!

How did his idea come about?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/96d9d7629d5740f03bf5955e3c581b02cfde55b0a2e88ae9901d96f3cbc4f7bf" />
Before embarking on his coffee business, he was a part-time e-hailing driver. Thanks to his indulgence in cafe hopping which enabled him to meet the owner of Kopi Rumah who also used his car boot to run his business. The owner shared valuable insights with him on what it takes to be a coffee enterprise. 
Hazreel invested about RM15,000 as his source of capital to buy a coffee maker, espresso machine, coffee grinder, and a small generator and this sums up the start-up capital for the launch of his own business. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/bd691e987025718267b4fc0bdb071683cc7d3c97d34baf7fa17139f58cecd171" alt="" width="414" height="414" />
Does it seem like a hefty undertaking? While it may appear demanding to some, the truth is that starting a business always necessitates a reasonable amount of initial capital.
Hazreel also took advantage of the opportunity to conduct thorough research and explore similar businesses operating throughout Malaysia. With the easy accessibility of online resources, he turned to platforms like YouTube and online literature to enhance his understanding of the intricacies of launching a startup and the various coffee-making techniques.
During this time, he received encouragement from supportive friends who motivated him to explore this innovative coffee business concept.
In essence, Hazreel's commitment to comprehensive research is commendable. He went above and beyond by personally exploring different locations and observing how entrepreneurs managed their businesses from their car trunks. It's clear that his dedication and hard work deserve recognition, don't you think?
What ingredients does he use? 
The ingredients include two types of coffee beans, one which is imported from Ethiopia in Africa and the other from Columbia, South America. Every month, Hazreel will roast and grind approximately 13-40 Kg of coffee beans. As such, a delectable taste of coffee can be enjoyed for it tastes sweet where the sweetness isn&rsquo;t from sugar but from the coffee bean itself. 
Of the variety of coffee served, caramel macchiato and Irish cream coffee are the bestsellers making his customers want more!

After operating for several months, various challenges he encountered like finding a suitable location and dealing with the rainy weather since it is located in an open environment. 
Though heavy rain impacts his business operation, he still remains optimistic and always seeks to find other possible ways to diminish the problems he faces making sure the external situations do not override his business. 
But worse still, the unpredictable number of sales is another ongoing problem he encountered because at a certain time, he is able to sell 20 cups but there are other times he could only sell 10 cups. He added that probably it is due to the short operating hours which lasted for four hours only and that it operates at night. Therefore, such circumstances don't really welcome more business. 
A piece of advice from Hazreel 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/376298a3f651b5e5a9a7387c08b59c067716a1646438d1a48d9f7fcc06c50d9f" />
He said youth must be courageous enough to venture into business despite running their own business encompassing numerous obstacles of ups and downs. He furthered on by saying "When we face difficulties, we have a choice of quitting or carrying on with unwavering determination. Choosing the latter can lead us towards extraordinary achievements."
Hazreel indeed has worked through his bones and his biggest hope is that one day he can have a proper cafe which is based on his own concept. 
Here are the details about the operating hours, location as well as the pricing value:
Operating Hours
Monday - Saturday at 8pm to 12pm (closed on every Sunday)
Location

Youthpreneur Coffee Venture: Man Turns His Car Boot Into A Cafe

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;

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.

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:

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.

Perhaps MRT should pay him to be an auxiliary police instead.

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

For many Malaysians, apart from our mobile phones, one of the most crucial items we always carry is our wallet. It often holds our identity card (IC), driving license, essential cards like debit/credit cards, and, most importantly, our cash.
Recently, a couple embarked on a trip to Genting Highlands, a popular destination known for its refreshing highland climate and respite from the city's heat. However, not all trips unfold seamlessly. During their journey back from their hillside outing, the couple suddenly realized that their wallet was missing.
The original poster (OP) recounted that as they headed back to Raub, the realization of their missing wallet sank in, and they were close to giving up hope of retrieving it. However, thanks to his wife's quick thinking, she suggested contacting the Marrybrown restaurant where they had dined to inquire about their lost wallet.
Spoke To The Employee And Had A Sigh Of Relief
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1d16ea19816408cf807a1cc4ac4883f43bdf0c1f318e7ca94ec2dbe657aa1a0e" />
After successfully locating the outlet's contact number online, the gentleman initiated a conversation with an employee named Kogi (although the spelling was uncertain). To their immense relief, Kogi confirmed that the restaurant had indeed discovered a wallet beneath one of the tables, perfectly matching the description provided by the wife.
Upon further inspection, it became evident that the wallet did not contain any form of identification. Instead, it held a sum of cash. The wife clarified that the money in the wallet was reserved exclusively for covering their family's monthly grocery expenses. They expressed profound gratitude to the Marrybrown staff at Genting Sky Avenue for their responsible handling and safekeeping of the wallet.
Staff Goes The Extra Mile For The Couple
Originally, the plan was to mail the wallet back to its owners, but there was a concern about the inherent risk of it being potentially lost in transit, given the tendency of items to go astray during such processes. Recognizing this potential issue, Kogi proposed an alternative solution: transferring the money via bank transaction. Shortly thereafter, she provided reassurance by sending a photograph of the bank transfer receipt.

&ldquo;Such efficiency! The effort to queue up at the bank and return the modest sum of money, was heartening,&rdquo; said the OP.
Praises The Staff And Wants To Send A Token Of Appreciation 
Exhaling a collective sigh of relief and recovering their funds, the family took a moment to express their gratitude and admiration for Kogi's honesty. They sent an email to the restaurant, praising her integrity and ethical conduct. In response, the restaurant promptly acknowledged their commendation and extended their appreciation in a reply.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ba0e00b4189f691895a7cebd376ba4a9082a7f4fc269b3691e1264858f929d65" />
The family suggested presenting a gesture of gratitude to Kogi, but she graciously declined the offer, explaining that it aligns with the company policy to safeguard any items inadvertently left behind by customers. As indicated in his social media post, the sentiment was not about the monetary worth but rather the demonstration of honesty, sincerity, and respect towards customers.

There's no denying the inherent kindness within Malaysians, and we aspire for this positivity to resonate throughout our entire nation. As the age-old adage suggests, kindness indeed has the power to create a lasting impact, and this situation serves as a poignant illustration of just that.

Commendable Act Of Honesty: Marrybrown Staff Safely Return Cash From Customers Lost Wallet

There is a saying that says &ldquo;A dog is man&rsquo;s best friend&rdquo; and cats too can be one&rsquo;s best friend when he or she is a cat lover. However, some are dispassionate towards animals and worst still, mistreating them like no other. Thus, they are left in a doomed situation while going through their lives. 
Not long ago, an X user (formerly known as Twitter), <a href="https://twitter.com/izzat_bashir">@izzat_bashir</a> shared a distressing scene of a cat that was found to be feeble at a public university in Gombak, Selangor, and its body was full of white paint in which he posted a few photos and a video to describe the cat&rsquo;s ill condition.

As such, the post has gone viral with netizens expressing anger and resentment for being cruel to the furry feline.

At the time of writing, many requested Izzat to update the cat&rsquo;s condition and this shows their sympathetic and concerned hearts towards it. 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a5db7588c37dc5f611eb778e2ebb2d6fb275a421e9613516fbdf68f7112c82d1" width="565" height="574" />
Can you imagine the smell of toxicity that it breathes when it is entirely covered with white paint? It is just way too hard for us to bear, and so does the cat. 
According to Izzat, he mentioned that no one should be cruel to animals. If you dislike it, just leave it as it is rather than being cold-blooded and harming it. After all, they are purely innocent and are merely trying to survive their lives. 
He further updated his social media that the &lsquo;meow&rsquo; is now in clean condition after a bath. However, it still appears to be weak. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</blockquote>
Outraged by the unfortunate incident, he expressed that he had informed about the unpleasant situation to the relevant authorities for the necessary action. 
According to the <a href="https://www.animal.org.my/animal-welfare-act-2015/">Animal Welfare Act 2015</a>, under Part V (Cruelty to Animals) of section 29, whoever is deemed guilty of animal cruelty shall be fined not less than RM20,000 and not more than RM 100,000, or imprisonment of not more than 3 years or both. 
This is to say, we should not mistreat animals for they are special creatures that deserve to be adored and appreciated, or else, the consequences will be a heavy punishment to bear and the moral of the story is, that those who commit should be responsible for it. 
Before we forget, for those who manage to find the culprit of the incident,<a href="https://www.hmetro.com.my/mutakhir/2023/09/1015041/ganjaran-rm3000-salur-bukti-sah-penganiaya-kucing-simbah-dengan-cat"> a reward of RM3,000</a> will be provided and for those who would like to advocate for animals' welfare, kindly visit the Persatuan Haiwan Malaysia - Malaysia Animal Association <a href="https://www.facebook.com/animalmalaysia/">Facebook page.</a> 
In the end, kindness towards animals simply shows one&rsquo;s pure heart and we hope more animals will be saved, protected, and treated with the respect and love that they need.

Outrage Erupts As Cat Gets Drenched In White Paint

Can you name something beloved by every Malaysian, apart from food? If your answer is travelling, you're absolutely correct.
For a considerable period, Malaysians faced restrictions on travel due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This not only affected the tourism industry but also had financial repercussions for many individuals. However, with time to recuperate, it seems we can now proudly say that we've managed to set aside some savings for international travel.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/GTnU30OG7QgAAAAd/holiday-time.gif" width="456" height="456" />
Usually, a vacation is an opportunity for us to unwind, kick back, and savour the finest moments our leisure time can provide, whether it's a nearby destination, within Malaysia, or even abroad. However, when travelling overseas, it's crucial to be aware that not all places are entirely safe. Regrettably, there are also numerous individuals looking to profit from unsuspecting travellers, particularly in Europe.

Recently content creator Nini Comei recounted an incident from her trip to Italy. She shared a TikTok video featuring her and her friend Fathin Lola, emphasizing that Italy's streets are frequented by numerous con artists and deceivers who often target popular tourist spots.
Nini highlighted that the initial approach by these scammers typically involves asking tourists about their place of origin. Once they have engaged your attention, they may attempt to place a charm bracelet on your wrist and persistently cling to your hand, making it difficult to break free from their grasp. She also mentioned that these scammers invade your privacy by peeking into tourists' wallets to discern the denominations of banknotes, which have varying colours corresponding to their values.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a11e1f37d140386c424c814698a916474b20908d4b688c88b7c5889a65be7e94" />
Nini also had a direct encounter with one of these scammers, witnessing them in action. She observed one of them surreptitiously extracting money from the wallet of another unsuspecting tourist who was strolling in the vicinity. According to Nini, these scammers persist in taking money from your wallet with their hands until they are content.
For those who are new to European travel, such occurrences are relatively common at popular tourist destinations. These scammers often employ persuasive tactics and will only release your hand after they've successfully extracted money from you. Nini mentioned that they may use phrases like "This is a gift for you because I love your people" as a ploy to convince tourists to "purchase" the charm bracelets they offer.
Following the sharing of a video capturing these scammers near the Colosseum, Nini subsequently posted a second video, demonstrating that these scammers are widespread. They were spotted later on in Vatican City, indicating the prevalence of such scams in various tourist areas.

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

Fathin also offered advice, urging people to resist the persuasive tactics of these scammers and not to sympathize with them. "The key is not to fall for the scam," emphasized the duo.
Netizens Share Their Experience Of Running Into Scammers
As of the present moment, the combined view count for both of Nini's videos has surpassed 3.3 million on TikTok. Many users have taken to the comments section to recount their encounters with similar scammers in various renowned tourist spots across the globe. Some have also issued warnings about the scammers using sleight of hand or other &ldquo;black magic&rdquo; tricks to momentarily distract tourists, enabling them to gain control.
These individuals are encountered in various locations, and they are determined to extract money from unsuspecting tourists. Occasionally, situations can escalate to become confrontational or even violent.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6b66bde01f3ec75db91821583761e75865fd0ef2864b9e444a91359ef4dfb919" />
A brief online search reveals that the issue of scams is prevalent on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Some reports indicate that individuals can fall victim to scams involving amounts as high as 20 Euros (~RM99.50). These scammers tend to frequent popular tourist destinations, such as The Great Pyramids in Egypt and the Eiffel Tower in France.
Furthermore, it's essential to exercise caution regarding pickpocketing when visiting European cities, as it remains a significant concern in many urban centres.
Ultimately, the primary takeaway here is the importance of vigilance when travelling globally. While Malaysians are known for their generosity and friendliness, it's crucial not to be overly trusting, as excessive friendliness can sometimes lead to trouble. 
So, it's advisable for everyone to prioritize personal safety when embarking on international travel. What are your thoughts on this matter? Feel free to share in the comments.

Malaysian Content Creator Caution Tourists About Scams In Italy & Vatican City

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?

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.

Corntoz PINKO Takes A Tour Of The Klang Valley!

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!
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fedwin.lu.10%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0N7gpguiwYfmVqX4ZZGPoJD7smCpP4xDLUt6CWW6679s2c1Qj955v2vBFiMir7bUvl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="645" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
<a href="https://imgflip.com/i/7zw3eo"><img title="made at imgflip.com" src="https://i.imgflip.com/7zw3eo.jpg" /></a>
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.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
I'm for this as AirAsia's food is actually one of the tastier airline food, by quite a margin in my books.

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.
