KL Chinatown Festival 2024: A Celebration Of Culture, Creativity, And Community

<p>For many Malaysians, having extra cash in our pockets is always a welcome opportunity. But beyond just saving, the idea of investing to grow our wealth is equally appealing and a smart financial move.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With most Malaysians retiring at 60, financial planning becomes crucial. Many wonder how long their savings, including EPF contributions, will last, as every ringgit matters when there&rsquo;s no steady income.</p>
<p><strong>Touch &lsquo;n Go eWallet Introduces Principal PRS for Retirement Savings</strong></p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/78b60423dba2d2deb0abba7621b4bba94179d910ec54519fad2e38cf4ed801d4" /></strong></p>
<p>Touch &lsquo;n Go eWallet (TNG eWallet), in collaboration with Principal Asset Management Berhad (Principal), has unveiled the Principal PRS (Private Retirement Schemes) to empower Malaysians in planning their retirement. This innovative addition allows users to begin saving for retirement with contributions starting from as little as RM100. Investors have the flexibility to choose between conventional or Shariah-compliant funds, tailored to their individual retirement goals and risk tolerance.</p>
<p>The Principal PRS Target Date Funds (TDF) align investments with the user&rsquo;s expected retirement year, progressively shifting from aggressive strategies during the earlier years to conservative approaches as retirement nears. This dynamic approach ensures that users&rsquo; portfolios adapt to their evolving financial needs and risk appetite, making retirement planning seamless and stress-free.</p>
<p>Alan Ni, CEO of TNG Digital, emphasized, &ldquo;Our goal is to make financial security accessible and achievable for every Malaysian. By adding the Principal PRS to GOfinance, we&rsquo;re providing 22 million TNG eWallet users with an easy, reliable way to actively plan for a comfortable retirement while complementing existing savings.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Principal CEO of Malaysia and Global Shariah, Munirah Khairuddin, shared her enthusiasm, stating, &ldquo;This PRS solution is the first-of-its-kind in Malaysia, leveraging global expertise in asset allocation. It&rsquo;s a hassle-free way to grow your savings, adapting your investments automatically as you approach retirement.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>Benefits and Incentives for Malaysians</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a1205991e5ba1c9e362a3adf63de35453cb24f62d875c2be4cbdbdb606310703" /></strong></p>
<p>One of the standout features of the Principal PRS is its accessibility, with a low entry point of RM100. Contributions also qualify for income tax relief of up to RM3,000 annually until 2030, making it a practical and tax-efficient solution for Malaysians looking to boost their retirement savings.</p>
<p>To encourage participation, TNG eWallet is offering an additional reward of up to 8% per annum for 30 days on investments of RM100 or more made before December 31, 2024. This incentive underscores TNG Digital&rsquo;s commitment to fostering a savings culture among its users while enhancing their long-term financial resilience.</p>
<p>Users can easily access this feature through the GOfinance Hub within the TNG eWallet app. By selecting either the Principal RetireEasy or Principal Islamic RetireEasy funds, they can start saving immediately. Current estimated returns range from 18.96% to 26.80% for conventional funds and 15.40% to 21.52% for Sharia-compliant options.</p>
<p><strong>How Principal PRS Works</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e5c632d3816ec5719ea0dcda7a9848b5e51d33da94e3cc338c18e4803bcd1106" /></p>
<p>The Principal PRS Target Date Funds are designed to simplify the investment process for users. During the early stages of the investment, the funds are allocated to aggressive, growth-focused strategies, which are gradually rebalanced to more moderate and conservative strategies as retirement approaches. This glide path ensures that users&rsquo; portfolios are optimized for their specific age and retirement timeline without the need for active management.</p>
<p>Munirah elaborated, &ldquo;The TDF eliminates the complexity of retirement planning. Users only need to maintain consistent contributions, and the fund will handle the heavy lifting by adapting the investments to suit their life stage.&rdquo;</p>
<p>TNG eWallet&rsquo;s integration of the Principal PRS represents a significant step forward in making financial planning accessible to all Malaysians. With this user-friendly and secure solution, individuals can take charge of their financial future effortlessly.</p>

TNG eWallet Launches Principal PRS, Enabling Users To Start Retirement Savings With Just RM100

<p>A group of eight Malaysians has filed a class action lawsuit seeking RM60 million in damages against the Malaysian government, the World Health Organization (WHO), and 23 other high-profile defendants. The plaintiffs claim that they suffered severe health complications, including deaths, as a result of the COVID-19 vaccinations administered during the pandemic. This lawsuit, filed on 23 October 2024 by Messrs Mohamad Zainuddin &amp; Co, draws attention to the contentious handling of the pandemic by government authorities and international bodies.</p>
<p><strong>Allegations of Negligence and Inadequate Research</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/30e65e8dcdc5f44f3e592dc1e29145acfbcbbe299c66f90d64bf8c4d8a80e5c0" /></strong></p>
<p>The plaintiffs have named several key figures in the legal action, including WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, former prime ministers Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad, along with his predecessors Dr. Adham Baba and Khairy Jamaluddin. Also named in the lawsuit are Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek, former Health director-general Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah, and even the current and former inspectors-general of police.</p>
<p>The plaintiffs allege that the Malaysian government acted negligently by implementing policies based on WHO&rsquo;s declaration of COVID-19 as a global health emergency. They argue that the government failed to conduct adequate research into the virus and the safety of vaccines, accusing them of pushing "toxic experimental vaccines" on the public. According to the plaintiffs, the government was reckless in accepting what they term the "false pandemic" narrative and enforced policies like the Movement Control Order (MCO) without proper investigation. Furthermore, they allege that full disclosure was not provided to the public regarding the risks associated with the vaccines.</p>
<p><strong>Plaintiffs' Personal Stories and Health Impacts<br /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b837050c71b296a55bac0c4e682b46c1e94027c91b4413f19a124b5333d383b2" /></strong></p>
<p>The lawsuit includes personal testimonies from those who claim to have suffered life-altering consequences from the vaccines. One plaintiff&rsquo;s father allegedly died after receiving three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, while another man&rsquo;s wife reportedly passed away after receiving two doses. Other plaintiffs have shared stories of severe side effects, such as a cleaning worker who suffered a stroke after receiving two doses, and a masseuse who now requires a wheelchair due to serious complications after a single dose.</p>
<p>In addition to the health-related claims, some plaintiffs assert that they faced discrimination in their workplaces for refusing the vaccine. One plaintiff, a worker with Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd, and another, a supervisor at a Melaka department store, both claim that they were subjected to unfair treatment and even job-related penalties for not complying with vaccination mandates.</p>
<p>Another plaintiff, the son of a woman who reportedly died from severe health complications after receiving a single dose of the vaccine, is also involved in the suit. These personal accounts have become central to the case, as they highlight the plaintiffs' belief that the vaccine caused lasting harm to their loved ones and themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Legal Demands: Damages and Reversal of Health Policies<br /></strong></p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/5d9ac6a54bab26411c3bb9341f3eee8c2ff647e2cc201ac26e652b5ddf135641" /></p>
<p>The plaintiffs are seeking a total of RM60 million in general, special, and exemplary damages from the defendants. In addition to monetary compensation, the plaintiffs are asking the court for a formal declaration that COVID-19 is "fake" and man-made. They argue that the pandemic was deliberately engineered and that the vaccines were part of a larger agenda. They also call for the cancellation of the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme, which they believe was imposed without adequate safety measures or informed consent.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the plaintiffs are demanding that the Malaysian government withdraw its membership from international organizations such as the WHO and the World Economic Forum (WEF), which they claim have conspired to undermine national sovereignty. They accuse these organizations of being "planned criminals" involved in orchestrating a global scheme to control countries under the guise of public health measures. The lawsuit&rsquo;s requests extend to allowing the use of alternative treatments, such as ivermectin and colchicine, which some believe would have been safer and more effective than the vaccine.</p>
<p><strong>Court Date Set for February 2025</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b0a715934fd42d8360071e468014b2b21a3a711f8f0f1a2b23fba5424c8b29b7" /></strong></p>
<p>The legal proceedings are set to unfold with a case management session scheduled for 17 February 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur High Court. The date will mark the next significant development in this highly anticipated lawsuit. The Attorney-General&rsquo;s Chambers has already filed a memorandum of appearance for the government and other defendants, indicating the seriousness with which the case will be contested.</p>
<p>This lawsuit has drawn significant attention not only for its high-profile defendants but also for the contentious issues it raises regarding public health policies, government accountability, and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The case is poised to be a defining moment in Malaysia&rsquo;s legal and public health landscape, and the outcome could have far-reaching implications for the country&rsquo;s future pandemic preparedness and the role of international health organizations like the WHO.</p>
<p>As the plaintiffs push forward with their claims, all eyes will be on the courts in February 2025 to see how the case unfolds. Their lawsuit is more than a legal battle&mdash;it is part of a broader global conversation about the impact of COVID-19, the safety of vaccinations, and the power of multinational health organizations.</p>

Group of Malaysians Sue WHO & Govt For RM60 Million Over “Toxic Vaccine” & “Fake Pandemic”  

<p>Have you ever wondered about the earnings of Malaysia's state representatives? Recently, Altimet, the Lembah Jaya State Assemblyman and former rapper, opened up about his monthly earnings during an episode of Dol&rsquo;s Podcast. He disclosed that his income as a state assembly member (ADUN) in Selangor could reach up to RM16,000 per month, including allowances.</p>
<p><strong>Selangor: Among the Top States for YB Salaries</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/812f3a5d06143f61a1217ad99c61f344349c5ee4723f9fe618257192a03f6190" /></strong></p>
<p>Altimet shared insights into his earnings while speaking with podcast hosts Shuk Sahar, Shuib, and Fizi. He explained that Selangor ranks among the top three states offering the highest salaries for state representatives in Malaysia.</p>
<p>The RM16,000 monthly figure he mentioned is not just a basic salary but also encompasses allowances for responsibilities tied to his role. These include community service, legislative duties, and other obligations expected of an ADUN.</p>
<p>While Selangor offers attractive pay packages, Altimet clarified that certain perks, such as housing and official vehicles, are not included in the benefits. However, ADUNs can access loan facilities similar to those available to government employees.</p>

<p><strong>Allowances and Responsibilities: Beyond the Pay</strong></p>

<p>State assembly members in Selangor also receive specific allowances to support their work. Among them is a provision for hiring a personal driver.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Part of our allowance includes a budget for a driver,&rdquo; Altimet explained. &ldquo;The State Secretary (SUK) encourages us to ensure we hire one, as the allowance is specifically allocated for this purpose. Not hiring a driver could even draw criticism from higher-ups.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This allowance is just one example of how Selangor's government aims to ensure its YBs can fulfil their duties effectively.</p>
<p><strong>The Role of a YB: Serving the People</strong></p>
<p>Representatives with the title &lsquo;Yang Berhormat&rsquo; (YB) shoulder the responsibility of voicing the concerns of their constituents while actively participating in legislative processes. Elected by the people, these representatives work to balance the demands of governance with the needs of their communities.</p>
<p>Although they receive a salary, like any other professional, the job comes with a mix of public scrutiny and high expectations. Altimet&rsquo;s candid disclosure offers a rare glimpse into the financial and logistical aspects of being a YB in Malaysia.</p>

<p><em>It&rsquo;s true, that RM16,000 is a significant sum, but let&rsquo;s be honest&mdash;if a YB is truly dedicated and fulfils their responsibilities, it&rsquo;s a fair reward for their efforts. What really matters is ensuring these allowances are used responsibly, without being misdirected for personal gain, and that the community benefits from their work.</em></p>

Altimet Discloses RM16K Monthly Earnings As A Selangor YB

<p>Malaysia mourns the loss of Tan Sri Tatparanandam Ananda Krishnan, a towering figure in the nation&rsquo;s corporate and philanthropic landscapes, who passed away peacefully on November 28, 2024, at the age of 86. The news was confirmed by his investment holding company, Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd, in a heartfelt statement acknowledging his unparalleled contributions to Malaysia&rsquo;s development.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It is with great sadness that we announce the demise of our chairman, T Ananda Krishnan. He has made significant contributions to nation-building and the corporate world, and his philanthropic initiatives have touched many lives. We humbly ask that the family&rsquo;s wishes to mourn in private be respected,&rdquo; the statement read.</p>
<p>Ananda Krishnan was widely recognized as Malaysia&rsquo;s third-richest individual, with a net worth of USD 5.1 billion (approximately RM22.6 billion), according to <em>Forbes</em>. His ventures revolutionized Malaysia&rsquo;s telecommunications and media sectors, establishing Maxis Bhd and Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd, which became household names. He also had significant stakes in other industries, including oil field services through Bumi Armada Bhd.</p>
<p><strong>Innovator, Visionary, and Philanthropist</strong></p>
<p>Born on April 1, 1938, in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Ananda Krishnan's journey was one of constant innovation and resilience. A Harvard Business School alumnus, he reshaped Malaysia&rsquo;s media and communications landscape by launching Astro, which brought satellite television to millions, and Maxis, the country&rsquo;s largest mobile network provider. His ambition extended beyond Malaysia, with ventures in international oil trading and investments in India&rsquo;s mobile market.</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/5aeb87246db4b2f62f53b262d62bee03ce0ef95f35d26723a490b0ef77a22998" /></p>
<p>However, not all of his ventures flourished. His investment in India&rsquo;s mobile industry faced significant losses, amounting to USD 7 billion, due to fierce competition and regulatory challenges. Yet, these setbacks did not diminish his reputation as a bold and visionary entrepreneur.</p>
<p>Ananda also held a notable presence in global philanthropy. Perhaps his most famous endeavour was co-organizing the Live Aid concerts in 1985 alongside Irish musician Bob Geldof. The iconic events, held in London and Philadelphia, raised USD 70 million (~RM311 million) for famine victims and were watched by 1.5 billion viewers worldwide. His ability to leverage his resources for such impactful causes highlighted his generous spirit and unwavering commitment to bettering lives.</p>
<p><strong>A Low-Profile Life with High-Impact Achievements</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/c7be1ef13dfafa4a62e17219a8eb5d73512be3abba7c854bdd71299b17612e7b" /></strong></p>
<p>Despite his immense wealth and influence, Ananda Krishnan was a man of deep privacy and humility, shying away from the media spotlight and public attention. Known for his discretion, he rarely granted interviews and famously questioned the need for fame, stating, &ldquo;Why should somebody be high profile anyway? I am just doing my job.&rdquo; He spent much of his time in France with his wife, while his three children each followed their own paths, including his son, Ven Ajahn Siripanyo, who devoted his life to monasticism as a Buddhist monk.</p>
<p>His relationship with Malaysia&rsquo;s political elite, especially former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, was pivotal in shaping his business empire. The duo&rsquo;s close friendship paved the way for transformative projects like the development of the Petronas Twin Towers and licenses for telecommunications and broadcasting operations, cementing his status as a national icon.</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/3e6ebb0bde755c227a0becb59febce2719ee335fc9bf24112dcebf88df308157" /></p>
<p>From founding Malaysia&rsquo;s national oil company, Petronas, to playing a crucial role in establishing Maxis and Astro, Ananda&rsquo;s achievements defined an era of innovation and progress. His philanthropic legacy, business acumen, and quiet leadership leave an indelible mark on Malaysia.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>As the nation reflects on his life and contributions, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of T Ananda Krishnan during this difficult time. His legacy of innovation, philanthropy, and quiet strength has left an unforgettable impact on Malaysia and the world. May his family find comfort and peace during this time of loss, and may his memory continue to inspire future generations to dream big, give back, and lead with purpose.</em></span></p>

Indulge In A “Wickedly” Festive Shopping & Dining Adventure At The Exchange TRX!

<p>CHAGEE Malaysia, a well-known milk tea chain from Yunnan, China, found itself in hot water after allegations of misconduct during its recent "Tear &amp; Win" lucky draw campaign. The event, held on 16 and 17 November to celebrate the brand&rsquo;s seventh anniversary, gave customers a chance to win luxury prizes, including Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags, Apple products, and lipsticks. To participate, customers needed to purchase selected drinks and tear open the bottom segment of their cups to reveal their prizes.</p>
<p>However, the celebration turned sour when a TikTok video went viral, showing a CHAGEE employee allegedly sorting cups believed to contain prizes. The 47-second clip depicted the employee shaking and inspecting each cup before setting certain ones aside. Adding to the suspicion, another video surfaced, showing the same employee transferring several cups to the back of the store, which many netizens interpreted as evidence of unfair practices.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

</p>
<p><strong>CHAGEE&rsquo;s Response and Public Outcry</strong></p>
<p>After the videos gained widespread attention, CHAGEE Malaysia quickly responded, reaching out to the original poster to apologise for the incident.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/3fae77b803bed14cfca903a1795d12ad342bca586a9815103554ed52e288fedf" /></p>
<p>The company explained that the employee had been following instructions but admitted that the task should not have been performed publicly. In an attempt to mitigate further damage, CHAGEE requested the original poster and others who reuploaded the video to delete the footage, citing concerns about the employee&rsquo;s privacy.</p>
<p>However, this request, paired with a warning of potential legal action for non-compliance, ignited further backlash. Many netizens criticised the brand for its heavy-handed approach, accusing it of trying to silence criticism rather than addressing the root cause. Calls for boycotts of CHAGEE outlets soon followed, with some customers expressing doubts about the integrity of the brand&rsquo;s promotional campaigns.</p>
<p>In a subsequent statement released on social media, CHAGEE issued a formal apology, expressing regret over the incident. The company acknowledged that the employee&rsquo;s actions did not align with their corporate standards and pledged to conduct a thorough internal investigation. CHAGEE assured the public that appropriate actions would be taken if any misconduct was confirmed.</p>

<p><strong>New Measures to Enhance Transparency</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/79e18c1bdb8f7e04d8ad5fac8b4185c0732dd347a4a5463461594f054f3b68b0" /></p>
<p>In light of the controversy, CHAGEE announced significant changes to how its lucky draw campaigns will be conducted in the future. Starting in December, the company will replace physical prize indicators with QR codes embedded in drink cups. Customers will need to scan these QR codes to reveal their lucky draw results, a move aimed at ensuring greater transparency and eliminating any potential bias.</p>
<p>The company also promised to review and enhance its standard operating procedures (SOPs) across all branches to uphold its commitment to fairness and high standards. It thanked customers for their feedback, acknowledging that the controversy highlighted areas needing improvement.</p>
<p>CHAGEE&rsquo;s customer service team is now actively addressing concerns and working to resolve any issues related to the "Tear &amp; Win" campaign. The brand expressed gratitude for the support of its loyal customers while reiterating its commitment to maintaining trust and integrity in its promotional activities.</p>
<p><strong>Backlash From Netizens</strong></p>
<p>Despite issuing a public apology, CHAGEE continued to face intense criticism, with many condemning the brand for its handling of the controversy and threatening a boycott. Critics also accused CHAGEE of unprofessionalism, particularly in their response to the whistleblower. Many were outraged by remarks directed at the individual who exposed the issue, demanding accountability and calling for the brand's social media manager to be disciplined.</p>
<p>Here's some of the comments:</p>

CHAGEE Issues Public Apology After Lucky Draw Campaign Faced Public Backlash Over Alleged Employee Misconduct

<p>Berjaya Food Berhad (BFood), the operator of Starbucks in Malaysia, has temporarily closed 50 of its 408 stores nationwide, accounting for approximately 12% of its outlets. This marks a significant increase from the 6% closure rate reported in the previous quarter. The closures are part of a broader struggle, as the coffee chain faces intensified consumer boycotts, increasing competition, and a steep decline in revenue.</p>
<p>BFood&rsquo;s latest financial report revealed a pre-tax loss of RM31.82 million (US$7.1 million) for the quarter, continuing a trend of losses for four consecutive quarters. Revenue also plunged by over 50% year on year, from RM250 million to RM124.19 million (US$28 million). This downturn has led to significant operational adjustments, with closed stores undergoing assessments and employees being reassigned to nearby outlets to avoid job losses.</p>
<p><strong>Impact of Boycotts and Consumer Sentiment</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/3043d5deb88b5efe15f5f61f8851412b4757f567ff27a8fbf08fe17a8ce5f418" /></strong></p>
<p>Starbucks Malaysia&rsquo;s challenges are compounded by ongoing pro-Palestinian boycotts stemming from perceptions of the brand's alleged connections to Israel and the United States. These sentiments have caused a shift in consumer behaviour, pushing customers toward local and international competitors. Analysts note that Starbucks outlets have experienced a noticeable drop in foot traffic, with some locations reporting declines of up to 30%.</p>
<p>The broader impact of the boycotts is reflected in the company&rsquo;s stock performance. Financial services firm RHB Group previously recommended selling shares in BFood, citing a 24% dip in its stock price and dwindling consumer interest. The ongoing conflict in Gaza and public awareness of humanitarian issues have further fueled these boycotts, leading to more profound financial and reputational repercussions for Starbucks Malaysia.</p>
<p><strong>Efforts to Rebuild and Diversify</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/7872abbf295781fcf672404773f3a26554f9fd23c4a909713b33f84f17ac34f9" /></strong></p>
<p>To mitigate these challenges, BFood is diversifying its portfolio by expanding its Paris Baguette chain and opening new Starbucks outlets abroad. Paris Baguette, which currently operates 10 stores in Malaysia, has shown promise as a potential growth avenue. Despite these efforts, analysts remain cautious, with Maybank Investment Bank forecasting potential losses of RM65 million (US$14.5 million) for BFood by the end of the fiscal year.</p>
<p>While cost-cutting measures such as rental negotiations and workforce adjustments are underway, the brand faces an uphill battle to regain consumer trust. The competitive coffee market in Malaysia, coupled with evolving consumer preferences, further complicates its recovery efforts.</p>
<p><strong>The Future of Starbucks in Malaysia</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img src="https://r2.myc.my/88a8ccdf6c1a00b2c3d73064515d9a8b2094fc02e51004127ed1a0475e02a25f" /><br />It's time to subtract 50 from the list.</em></p>
<p>The road ahead for Starbucks Malaysia is uncertain. As competition intensifies and boycotts persist, the company must adapt to the changing market landscape. Analysts suggest that rebuilding customer loyalty and addressing public concerns about its affiliations will be crucial for the brand&rsquo;s long-term success.</p>
<p>The company&rsquo;s ability to innovate and align its offerings with the preferences of Malaysian coffee drinkers will determine whether it can reclaim its market position or continue to lose ground to its competitors. For now, the closures serve as a stark reminder of the challenges facing even the most iconic global brands in a rapidly shifting market.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>As local brands like Zus Coffee continue to expand, Starbucks faces significant challenges. With more affordable options available to Malaysians, the road to recovery for the global coffee chain is likely to be long and tough.</em></span></p>

Over 50 Starbucks Outlets Temporarily Closed Across M’sia Amid RM31.8mil Losses 

<p>If you&rsquo;re a fan of nasi lemak, chances are you&rsquo;ve heard of the popular Nasi Lemak Wanjo in Kampung Baru, KL.</p>
<p>Known for their flavourful nasi lemak with a wide range of side dishes, they&rsquo;ve also gained some notoriety for charging a fee to dine in the air-conditioned section. Recently, the restaurant went viral after a netizen shared a post criticizing the surcharge, arguing that it was unfair.</p>
<p>However, it turns out the restaurant isn&rsquo;t in the wrong for implementing this fee.</p>
<p><strong>Netizens Displeased At Being Charged For Air Conditioning</strong></p>

<p><strong>
<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</strong></p>
<p>The controversy started after a post went viral on X (formerly Twitter), where the account @MALAYSIAVIRALLL criticized Wanjo Nasi Lemak for adding an extra charge for customers dining in the air-conditioned section. Reports suggest that the restaurant charges RM1 per adult for seating in the closed-off, air-conditioned area.</p>
<p>Notably, Wanjo does offer a non-air-conditioned dining area at no extra cost. However, with Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s intense heat and the eatery often crowded, many customers opt for the air-conditioned section despite the fee.</p>
<p>As the debate heated up online, many patrons and netizens expressed frustration over the charge, considering it unreasonable. This led to numerous reports filed with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Costs of Living (KPDN), claiming that it&rsquo;s unlawful to charge customers extra simply for sitting in an air-conditioned room.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s the comments of netizens:</p>

</p>
<p><strong>KPDN Clarifies The Issue; They Are Not In The Wrong</strong></p>
<p>Although some might assume the fee is unlawful, the government agency conducted an investigation into Wanjo and found that the RM1 charge does not violate any regulations. It complies with the guidelines set out in the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act of 2011.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/3683e8f176a9f88480e8f6e8606bfe7d2db4b9cf98cd163137a844bd31484258" /></p>
<p>According to a report by Harian Metro, KPDN stated that the restaurant clearly informs customers about the additional RM1 charge before they dine in the air-conditioned section, providing receipts for each payment. Notices are also posted around the restaurant indicating the fee, which led KPDN to conclude that the charge complies with regulations. A Wanjo employee further clarified that the RM1 fee applies only to customers over the age of 10 and is intended to help maintain the air-conditioning system. Many customers have reportedly expressed satisfaction with the air-conditioning and overall service.</p>
<p>The investigation into this matter actually began nearly three years ago, and KPDN confirmed that Wanjo was in full compliance, with no violations found. Given the findings, the ministry even recommended that the restaurant consider taking action against the individual responsible for the viral tweet to protect its reputation.</p>
<p>While the outcome may have surprised some netizens, it&rsquo;s clear that KPDN took the complaint seriously and thoroughly investigated. They also encouraged consumers to report any concerns of unfair or excessive charges at local establishments so similar issues can be properly addressed.</p>
