[Watch] Customer Gets Hit With RM10 For Soup With No Meat – Restaurant Says 'Oops, We Messed Up'
A Malaysian diner was surprised to be charged RM10 for beef soup without the beef at a chain restaurant in Selangor.
The guy posted his receipt on Threads showing he'd ordered Thai fried rice (RM25), Mamak fried noodles (RM24), kids' mushroom pasta (RM18), white rice (RM4), filtered water (RM0.80), and one bowl of 'beef soup only' for RM10.
With tax, the whole bill came to RM94.90.
I feel that RM10 for plain soup is too much, that's my opinion – everything else was okay
The internet went nuts.
Some people backed him up, with one person saying they got charged
Others told him to quit whining – if you know it's expensive, why eat there?
Restaurant Jumps In
Then the restaurant showed up in the comments.
They apologized and claimed they
'charged him wrong'
– saying the soup should've been RM6, not RM10.
They asked him to contact them directly.
The customer later stated that he wasn't trying to tarnish the restaurant's reputation; he wanted them to consider feedback about their pricing and food quality.
Bottom line: Whether RM6 is fair for meatless soup depends on individual expectations. RM10 is clearly above typical market rates for soup base.
What do you think – would you pay RM10 for meatless beef soup?

Thailand to propose zero tariffs in crucial US trade talks Wednesday (July 16)
BANGKOK: Thailand is set to make a significant offer to the United States tonight, proposing 0% import duties on tens of thousands of products in a pivotal video conference with the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The move comes as Bangkok simultaneously prepares contingency plans for potential US tariffs. Commerce Minister Jatuporn Buruspat confirmed the breakthrough in trade negotiations Wednesday (July 16). Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Pichai Chunhavajira, will spearhead "Team Thailand" in discussions with the USTR, presenting Thailand's newly revised and expanded proposals. Beyond the substantial offer of duty-free access for a vast array of goods, the Thai delegation will put forward additional proposals designed to strengthen trade ties. Crucially, the Ministry of Commerce has already tasked relevant agencies with developing detailed relief plans. These measures are being formulated based on two key hypothetical scenarios regarding potential US tariff impositions: Scenario 1: A 36% tariff being levied. Scenario 2: A 20% tariff being levied, mirroring the rate applied to competitor Vietnam. "We've instructed our teams to identify precisely which product categories would be affected under a 36% tariff, and the extent of that impact, including on workers in various industries," Jatuporn explained. "Similarly, we're assessing which product groups would be hit by a 20% tariff and the resulting consequences." These contingency plans are reportedly complete and are now awaiting the outcome of tonight's crucial negotiations. - The Nation/ANN

Malaysia Can Match Global Standards In Address System
Chief Technical Officer of Geoscape Australia, Joseph Abhayaratna, speaks to Bernama during the National Address Conference 2025 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today. KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has the potential to develop a more efficient National Address System (NAS), comparable to those of other developed nations such as Australia, according to Geoscape Australia's Chief Technical Officer, Joseph Abhayaratna. He said this was due to the shared characteristics in terms of administrative structure, and technical challenges in developing the system, which was aimed to serve as the main reference for managing addresses nationwide. "Both countries have multiple states and territorial jurisdictions, each with its own address databases and lists. So, I believe we share a similar starting point. "Along with the similar challenges we faced in urban addressing, I believe what we have been able to achieve in Australia is also applicable to the Malaysian context," he told reporters when met at the National Address Conference 2025, here today. Prior to this, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has essentially agreed to implement the NAS during the Digital Economy and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Council meeting on June 24 last year. Fahmi said the system has also been identified as a 'needle mover' under the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint and the National 4IR Policy, aimed at realising the government's aspiration to make Malaysia a high-income nation driven by digitalisation and a regional leader in the digital economy. Abhayaratna noted that Australia's NAS, developed by Geoscape, had contributed over AUD 1.4 billion in economic value, establishing it as one of the country's key national assets. 'It's a very conservative estimate, but it gives you a sense of the kind of value you can derive from this. I believe these kinds of drivers, and what we've been able to accomplish in Australia, show what can be achieved under the right circumstances with proper planning,' he said. He also praised Malaysia's efforts through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in developing the NAS as a unified and authoritative address system officially endorsed by the government.

Aquaculture company Camaroe receives Bursa Malaysia approval for ACE Market listing
KUALA LUMPUR: Integrated aquaculture group Camaroe Bhd has received approval from Bursa Malaysia Securities to list on the ACE Market. In a statement today, Camaroe, which specialises in the farming and processing of black tiger prawns, said its initial public offering (IPO) will involve the issuance of 99 million new shares, as well as an offer for sale of 49.5 million existing shares to selected investors. Managing director Tech Han Boon said that, with the group's strong foundation in prawn farming and expanding processing capabilities, the IPO will allow Camaroe to increase production capacity and enhance operational efficiency through new machinery and technology. 'Additionally, it will strengthen our product quality through the establishment of a biotechnology department,' he added. Camaroe said the IPO will allocate 24.75 million shares or 5% of the enlarged issued share capital to the Malaysian public, with 2.5% made available to public investors and the remaining 2.5% to Bumiputera public Investors. A further 12.38 million shares or 2.5% will be allocated to eligible directors, key senior management and employees through pink form allocations. Another 61.87 million shares or 12.5%, are reserved for private placement to Bumiputera investors approved by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry. 'Proceeds from the IPO will support the construction of a new Bukit Raja processing facility, the purchase of machinery and equipment, and the installation of solar panels to enhance sustainability. Additionally, Camaroe plans to establish a biotechnology department to strengthen its research capabilities and improve farming efficiencies,' the company said. M&A Securities Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Bill Tan said Camaroe's well-established aquaculture infrastructure, coupled with its vertically integrated model and growing presence in export markets, places it in a favourable position to benefit from rising global demand for premium seafood. 'The group's proven capabilities in producing quality black tiger prawns, as attested by its ability to meet locally and internationally recognised quality standards, make it a compelling listing candidate on the ACE Market,' he added. M&A Securities is the principal adviser, sponsor, underwriter, and placement agent for the IPO. – Bernama
