[Video] Meet Tony, The Viral Sensation Taking Social Media By Storm

Earlier this month, a horrifying incident unfolded at Setia City Mall in Setia Alam when gunfire erupted, causing panic among shoppers. The shooter, later identified as 35-year-old Yap Chin Boon, fired multiple shots inside the mall, hitting a 40-year-old male cleaner in the legs and buttocks. The incident led to widespread fear and concerns over public safety.
Following the attack, Yap managed to flee the scene by hijacking a vehicle at gunpoint. He forced the driver to help him escape via the Shah Alam Expressway before abandoning the car and disappearing. Authorities later revealed that he had been attempting to rob a gold shop but abandoned the plan before resorting to violence.

For the next nine days, Yap remained at large, committing several additional crimes while moving through different locations, including Klang, Banting, and Melaka. His offences during this period included:
<ul>
<li>Holding an e-hailing driver at gunpoint and forcing him to drive from Klang to Melaka.</li>
<li>Stealing a motorcycle in Melaka.</li>
<li>Threatening a lorry driver and forcing him to transport him to Sabak Bernam, where he carried out a break-in.</li>
<li>Forcing another lorry driver to drive him back to Klang.</li>
</ul>
These crimes, along with his violent past, cemented his reputation as a highly dangerous fugitive, prompting an extensive manhunt.

According to the Selangor Police, Yap was a wanted criminal with a long history of serious offences, including:
<ul>
<li>Section 3 of the Arms Act 1971 &ndash; Possession of firearms.</li>
<li>Section 307 of the Penal Code &ndash; Attempted murder.</li>
<li>Section 384 of the Penal Code &ndash; Extortion.</li>
</ul>
In addition to these offences, he had prior records for armed robbery and drug-related crimes under the Dangerous Drugs Act in both 2011 and 2022.
Tracked Down: The Final Showdown at Pulau Ketam
After days of relentless searching, law enforcement officials tracked Yap down to a hotel in Pulau Ketam. A joint operation between the Bukit Aman and Selangor Criminal Investigation Departments was conducted, leading to a raid at approximately 3:00 AM on 18th February.
Upon being confronted by the police, Yap reportedly engaged in a shootout, leading to his fatal demise. The authorities confirmed that two loaded firearms were found in his possession. Selangor Police Chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan later stated that the suspect had an extensive criminal history, with records of armed robberies and drug-related offences dating back over a decade.

Since the shooting at Setia City Mall, security concerns have risen among the public. Although normal operations at the mall have resumed, heightened security measures have been implemented to prevent future incidents. In response to the attack, Selangor Police have announced increased security at shopping centres and other high-traffic locations across the state.
Furthermore, police have urged security personnel at malls and public spaces to undergo refresher courses and emergency drills to better prepare for potential threats. The tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and swift law enforcement actions in maintaining public safety.
Authorities Urge Public to Stay Vigilant
While the suspect has been neutralised, authorities continue to emphasise the need for public awareness and cooperation. The police have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities, especially in crowded areas, to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
The case of Yap Chin Boon, a dangerous fugitive with a long history of crime, underscores the importance of robust security measures and rapid police response. Despite the fear and chaos caused by the Setia City Mall shooting, the swift action taken by law enforcement has reassured the public that safety remains a top priority.
Credit goes to our dedicated law enforcement officers for successfully ending the suspect&rsquo;s crime spree. Let&rsquo;s hope that such efforts continue, paving the way for a safer society. Perhaps one day, we can aspire to the low crime rates seen in countries like Japan or even Singapore.

Setia City Mall Shooting Suspect Killed In Police Shootout In Pulau Ketam, Klang

When deciding where to eat&mdash;whether alone, with friends, or with family&mdash;hygiene is often one of the most important factors customers consider. Poor cleanliness can lead to serious health risks, including food poisoning, and can quickly discourage diners from returning to an establishment. After all, no one wants to eat in a place where hygiene standards are questionable.
This concern recently became the centre of attention when a woman dining at a well-known Japanese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur claimed to have found an insect in her meal. Her experience quickly went viral, prompting intense discussions on social media regarding restaurant hygiene. However, what followed was an unexpected turn of events that earned the restaurant owner widespread praise for his professional and responsible handling of the situation.
Customer Discovers an Insect in Her Meal
A TikTok user, known as @mellycka, took to social media to share a video of her first visit to the restaurant. She and her friend were excited to try out a variety of Japanese dishes. However, their dining experience was disrupted when they spotted an insect in one of their meals.
By coincidence, @mellycka had been recording a video of their food just moments before making the discovery. Shocked and unsettled, she immediately called over a waiter to alert them to the issue. Upon seeing what had happened, the restaurant staff promptly replaced the dish and offered complimentary ice cream as a form of compensation.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@mellycka/video/7471163859965906194" data-video-id="7471163859965906194">

Restaurant Owner Issues a Public Apology
The situation took a positive turn when the restaurant&rsquo;s management personally reached out to @mellycka via direct message. One of the restaurant&rsquo;s owners, introducing himself as Imran, sincerely apologised for the incident. He acknowledged the unpleasant experience and admitted that the compensation offered at the time had not been sufficient.
&ldquo;First and foremost, I would like to personally apologise for the unfortunate incident that occurred during your visit to our restaurant,&rdquo; Imran wrote. &ldquo;I also regret that the dish was not adequately compensated, as the responsibility for this matter rests entirely with us.&rdquo;
In response to the incident, Imran assured that the restaurant would undergo a rigorous deep-cleaning process to maintain proper hygiene standards and prevent such occurrences in the future. He also extended an invitation to @mellycka and her friend to return for a complimentary meal as a goodwill gesture.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@mellycka/video/7471863577897389330" data-video-id="7471863577897389330">

Public Reaction: Praise for Professionalism
Initially, social media users were quick to criticise the restaurant&rsquo;s hygiene standards, with some even calling for a boycott. However, the owner&rsquo;s sincere apology and proactive response shifted public opinion. Many netizens commended Imran for his professionalism and the way he handled the matter.
&ldquo;So professional. It&rsquo;s refreshing to see a restaurant owner take responsibility like this,&rdquo; one user commented.
Another remarked, &ldquo;This is the kind of responsible business we should support. I actually want to try dining there now!&rdquo;
By openly addressing the issue and taking swift corrective measures, the restaurant not only reassured existing customers but also demonstrated that accountability and good customer service are key factors in maintaining trust.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/00d3c30127643afbb62ae6df789116105c2e7c92542a78d03571c7626278bac8" />
What to Do If You Encounter Food Contamination
While the restaurant&rsquo;s response was commendable, food safety remains a critical issue. Customers who come across unhygienic food conditions or food contamination can report their concerns to the Ministry of Health Malaysia&rsquo;s Food Safety and Quality Division (BKKM). Complaints can be made through the following channels:
<ul>
<li>Visit the nearest BKKM or District Health Office.</li>
<li>Contact BKKM via hotline: 03-8885 0797 or 1Malaysia One Call Centre (1MOCC): 03-8000 8000.</li>
<li>Lodge a complaint through BKKM&rsquo;s official Facebook page.</li>
<li>Submit a written complaint to the State Health Department or District Health Office.</li>
</ul>
Ensuring high hygiene standards in the food and beverage industry is essential for customer safety. Consumers play a crucial role in holding businesses accountable for their cleanliness and food preparation practices. While mistakes can happen in any restaurant, how a business responds can make all the difference in regaining public confidence and maintaining its reputation.

Restaurant Apologises After Customer Finds Insect In Meal, Wins Praise For Professionalism

Scammers have become increasingly sophisticated, using various tactics to trick unsuspecting victims into handing over their money or personal information. However, one Malaysian entrepreneur has decided to turn the tables on them by creating an AI-powered chatbot that wastes scammers&rsquo; time and prevents them from targeting real people.
Introducing Scammers On Hold AI (SOHAI)&mdash;a chatbot designed to engage scammers in endless, nonsensical conversations, keeping them distracted and frustrated for as long as possible.
A Clever Tool in the Fight Against Scammers
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4ac3d5838b4319ba0e5130dd08b414eb877646eb26b210b74c77f1de09441c69" />
SOHAI was developed by Dylan Tan, the founder and CEO of Replyr.ai, a company that specialises in AI-powered chatbot solutions for businesses. Unlike traditional scam prevention tools that focus on warnings or detection, SOHAI takes a more proactive approach by actively engaging scammers, leading them into confusing and pointless discussions that waste their time.
Tan introduced SOHAI in the Entrepreneurs and Startups in Malaysia Facebook group as well as LinkedIn, explaining that the chatbot serves as a time-wasting distraction for scammers, ensuring they spend less time targeting actual victims.
&ldquo;Every minute a scammer spends talking to SOHAI is a minute they are not scamming someone else,&rdquo; Tan stated.
How SOHAI Works 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0047fbacff47b0fab9c8748b4f454a653c25605ac6fb04fc14967f2e2737d77f" />
SOHAI operates entirely through WhatsApp, where it assumes the identity of a fictional character named "Madam Soh". Whenever a scammer contacts the chatbot, SOHAI responds with a mix of random excuses, vague statements, and confusing replies designed to keep the conversation going.
<ol>
<li>If a scammer contacts you, simply give them SOHAI&rsquo;s phone number.</li>
<li>The chatbot will take over the conversation, sending frustrating and time-consuming responses.</li>
<li>If the scammer stops replying, SOHAI will follow up to further pester them.</li>
</ol>
What makes SOHAI even more effective is its ability to communicate in multiple languages, including English, Malay, and Mandarin, allowing it to adapt to different scammers' preferred languages.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/846a14dd033fa126ac8dee08678f6f5b832bed953f726ec4241c723c8bdf540b" />
Additionally, every conversation is logged and stored in a publicly accessible <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1la3fz_W936LoeBe06QQ8YG5hsJ_tY7Tj3jK9iPzeXAU/edit?usp=sharing">Google Sheets</a> leaderboard. This leaderboard records:
<ul>
<li>Total time wasted per scammer</li>
<li>Key chat highlights</li>
<li>Tactics used by both the scammer and SOHAI</li>
</ul>
This not only allows users to track how much time is being wasted but also provides insight into common scam tactics. One thing to note is Tan had remarked that certain columns on the sheet had been hidden as they contained personal information after the chatbot had received such an overwhelming response from netizens.
Built in Just a Few Days
Tan revealed that creating SOHAI took only two to three days, thanks to the existing AI chatbot infrastructure used by Replyr.ai.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c2cedc877aa542a0f21891ca034ba98b1fea4daac48930f9b077360ae4801398" />
&ldquo;I used the same system we deploy to automate conversations for real businesses. Since the core system was already in place, adapting it for SOHAI was straightforward,&rdquo; he explained.
When asked about his motivation, Tan expressed his frustration with scammers and their predatory tactics.
&ldquo;I hate scammers because they prey on vulnerable people&mdash;especially the elderly and those who may not be as tech-savvy. Almost everyone knows someone who has fallen victim to a scam," he said. Tan also pointed out that most scammers are not as technologically advanced as many people assume.
&ldquo;They still rely on human effort and don&rsquo;t use AI themselves. They don&rsquo;t even share intelligence with each other. That&rsquo;s why every minute they spend chatting with SOHAI is a minute wasted on their end.&rdquo;
Future Plans for SOHAI
Tan has ambitious plans to expand SOHAI&rsquo;s capabilities, making it even more frustrating for scammers to deal with. Some of the upcoming features include:
<ul>
<li>Sending fake files&mdash;such as documents that appear to contain important information but cannot be opened.</li>
<li>Generating fake transaction receipts&mdash;to mislead scammers who attempt to trick people into making payments.</li>
<li>Introducing more conversational tactics&mdash;to keep scammers engaged for even longer periods.</li>
<li>Constantly changing phone numbers&mdash;so that scammers cannot block the chatbot and continue their activities elsewhere.</li>
</ul>
Tan believes that as more people start using SOHAI, the collective frustration for scammers will increase, making it harder for them to succeed in their fraudulent schemes.
How to Use SOHAI
For those eager to try SOHAI, the chatbot is completely free to use. Anyone can participate in this scammer-wasting initiative by sending a WhatsApp message to the chatbot using the following link: <a href="https://wa.me/6588591998">SOHAI WhatsApp Link</a>
On WhatsApp, scammers will see the chatbot as "Madam Soh", which further adds to their confusion.
To ensure the effectiveness of SOHAI, Tan has also prepared additional phone numbers in case scammers start blocking the chatbot. This ensures that the scam-busting efforts can continue without interruption.
A Fun and Effective Way to Fight Back Against Scammers
The rise of online scams has made it crucial for individuals to stay vigilant, but SOHAI offers a unique way to fight back. Instead of simply ignoring scam messages, people now have the option to actively disrupt scam operations by wasting scammers' time.
<img src="https://media.tenor.com/YwnJ_G0jnCUAAAAM/the-simpsons-excellent.gif" />
By engaging scammers in pointless conversations, SOHAI helps reduce the number of successful scam attempts, protecting potential victims from falling prey to fraudulent schemes. So, the next time a scammer contacts you, don&rsquo;t just delete their message&mdash;send it to SOHAI and let the AI handle the rest.
With more people joining this initiative, scammers may soon find that their tactics are no longer as effective as they once were.

Dealing with a scammer? Just give them ‘Madam Soh’s’ number and let SOHAI do the rest.

In recent years, the number of students choosing not to sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination has increased, sparking concerns about the state of education in Malaysia. While some students believe they can secure employment without completing their secondary education, many who opted out of SPM now express deep regret, realising the limitations they face in the job market.
Regrets and Hardships Faced by Dropouts
Several Malaysians who skipped the crucial examination have shared their experiences, highlighting the struggles they now endure due to their decision.
Isolation and Family Issues Led to Dropping Out

One such individual, Amzar Mohd Azhari, 26, revealed that he left school after Form One due to feelings of alienation from his peers.
&ldquo;I started feeling isolated during study sessions, as I was often left out. Over time, I lost my motivation,&rdquo; he explained.
His parents&rsquo; divorce further exacerbated his declining interest in academics, and he eventually stopped attending school for four months without fully grasping the long-term consequences.
&ldquo;At first, I didn&rsquo;t feel the impact of my decision, but years later, I realised how difficult it is to find a job without an SPM certificate,&rdquo; Amzar admitted.
Struggles in Employment and Lost Opportunities

Similarly, 20-year-old Mohammad Adam Qusyairi Mohd Zulkifly initially did not regret his decision to leave school at 15 due to personal issues. However, seeing his friends continue their studies at university has since changed his perspective.
&ldquo;I started feeling envious and regretful. Since dropping out in 2020, I have worked various jobs, but none of them lasted long,&rdquo; he lamented.
Realising the importance of education, he now plans to sit for SPM as a private candidate when the opportunity arises.
Limited Job Prospects Without SPM

Mimi, a 21-year-old clerk, shared that despite securing a job, her lack of an SPM qualification remains a major barrier to career advancement.
&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t attend secondary school and was only educated at a madrasah, so I never had the chance to take SPM. Now, I struggle to find better job opportunities as many companies require at least an SPM certificate, if not a diploma or degree,&rdquo; she said.
&ldquo;If I could turn back time, I would take the SPM without hesitation,&rdquo; she added.
The Worrying Trend of SPM Absenteeism
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8b0cccaf831e763eec1204f1b66a2dd8dd2b2e933cfe8f4452e01c3f58129efd" />
The issue of SPM dropouts is not isolated to a few individuals. According to Johor Education and Information Committee chairman Aznan Tamin, over 900 students in Johor alone skipped the SPM, with some believing they could still earn lucrative salaries without the qualification.
&ldquo;The challenge we face is that Singapore does not see SPM as a requirement for work,&rdquo; he explained, highlighting why some students prioritise working over sitting for the exam.
Additionally, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek revealed that 8,076 students nationwide were absent from all their written SPM papers as of February 6, 2025. This included 6,231 students from government schools.
&ldquo;The official attendance data for the 2024 SPM examination will be released on the day the results are announced,&rdquo; she stated.
Why Are Students Skipping SPM?
Analysis from the School Attendance Management Application identified several key reasons for SPM absenteeism:
<ul>
<li>Choosing to work instead of study</li>
<li>Family issues and financial struggles</li>
<li>Health problems</li>
<li>Relocation abroad</li>
<li>Lack of motivation and academic interest</li>
</ul>
Government Efforts to Address the Issue
To combat this worrying trend, the Education Ministry has launched several intervention measures:
<ul>
<li>Daily Attendance Monitoring &ndash; Schools track students through the Student Attendance System (eKehadiran) to facilitate early intervention.</li>
<li>Taskforce Activation &ndash; A dedicated taskforce monitors attendance at all levels, ensuring students sit for their examinations.</li>
<li>National Performance Dialogues &ndash; Discussions among education authorities to refine intervention strategies and improve attendance.</li>
<li>Community Involvement &ndash; The Ziarah Cakna Programme, parental consultation sessions, and collaborations with Parent-Teacher Associations aim to increase awareness among students and parents.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, the Johor Talent Development Council has been set up to help dropouts pursue further studies through Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
A Shared Responsibility
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek emphasised that while the government is taking active steps, parents and communities must also play a role in ensuring students complete their studies.
&ldquo;Parents are crucial in guiding their children to sit for the examination, while the wider community must raise awareness on the importance of the SPM certificate for future opportunities,&rdquo; she stressed.
The Bottom Line
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0242bc39d3062a5f56612990d3f54b2a355c58649947bbe1c20960c690c7c223" />
Skipping the SPM may seem like a minor decision at the time, but as these stories highlight, it can have long-lasting consequences. Many students who opted out now find themselves struggling to secure stable jobs, while others are left wishing they could turn back time.
As the dropout rate continues to rise, it is clear that a multi-faceted approach&mdash;including government interventions, parental guidance, and societal support&mdash;is necessary to ensure students understand the value of completing their education.
