TTDI's 3 Days Nasi Lemak is up for grabs after business collapse, owner shifts to new venture

Yahoo22-05-2025
If you've been anywhere near the nasi lemak discourse on social media these past couple of years, chances are these names ring a bell: Village Park, Nasi Lemak Shop, Nasi Lemak Burung Hantu, and of course, 3 Days Nasi Lemak. All of them have one thing in common; they're proudly rooted in or around TTDI, earning their stripes as go-to spots for Malaysia's beloved dish.
Among them, 3 Days Nasi Lemak has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the best, evident from the multiple visits from top local food influencers. But as it turns out, the story behind the scenes wasn't quite as glamorous.
Recently, the owner, Zack, took to social media with a surprise announcement: the entire brand is up for sale, starting at RM160K. That includes the whole package such as assets, branding, staff, and operational rights. Naturally, the internet had questions. Why the sudden decision?
Amid the speculation, Zack stepped in to clarify. While things started strong, he admitted that the direction of the business became muddled over time. The turning point, however, was the ambitious menu upgrade.
The introduction of premium side dishes like king crab and lobster is fancy, yes, but not exactly what fans were craving. The higher prices didn't sit well either, and customer feedback quickly reflected that.
Instead of letting the business flounder, Zack made the bold choice to move on. And it paid off! According to him, nearly 10 interested buyers, including a few big-name brands, have already come knocking.
But don't worry, this is not even close to a sad ending. Zack's entrepreneurial spirit is very much alive and kicking. He's now more active in Kulai, Johor, with his latest venture: Zack's Burger & Chicken, where you can grab a burger for just RM3.90.
As for 3 Days Nasi Lemak, who knows what's next? One thing's for sure: we'll be seated to see it unfold. What about you?

Meta disrupts millions of WhatsApp scam accounts as internet schemes rise

Meta said Tuesday it banned more than 6.8 million WhatsApp accounts this year linked to scam operations, as the company fights a wave of criminal activity on the internet that has wrangled billions of dollars out of victims' savings. Scam accounts were often linked to criminal centers across Southeast Asia, where they run multiple operations at one time, from fraudulent crypto investments to pyramid schemes. Meta warned users that the operations often ask targets to pay up-front to get promised returns or earnings. Later, scammers sometimes show their victims how much they have already 'earned' before asking them to deposit even more money into the scam, according to the company.

MEXC Pushes into Southeast Asia With Deal Valuing Indonesian Exchange at $200 Million

Licensed crypto exchange Triv, based in Indonesia, has received a strategic equity investment from MEXC Ventures, the investment arm of global crypto platform MEXC. The deal values Triv at $200 million and reflects MEXC's growing focus on Southeast Asia, as Indonesia's crypto market enters a new phase of institutional participation and regulatory clarity. Leo Zhao, investment director at MEXC Ventures, told Decrypt the investment was 'structured as pure equity, not tokens or convertible instruments,' and is part of the group's broader expansion strategy in Southeast Asia. 'Triv's regulatory track record, user base, and infrastructure made it a high-conviction candidate,' he said, adding that the deal reflects MEXC's push to support 'local champions with strong compliance profiles' as institutional adoption grows across the region. MEXC Ventures declined to disclose the investment amount, citing a confidentiality agreement with Triv. The deal follows a major shift in Indonesia's crypto tax policy, which took effect as the month opened. Under a new finance ministry regulation, sellers of digital assets on domestic exchanges will now pay a 0.21% final income tax, at double the previous rate, while those using overseas platforms face a steeper 1% levy, per a Reuters report. Buyers, however, are no longer subject to value-added tax. Tokocrypto, a local exchange, said in the aforementioned report that the changes reflect Indonesia's shift in classifying crypto as a financial asset rather than a commodity, signaling a more formal regulatory phase for one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing crypto markets. These measures are part of a broader transition in oversight from the commodities regulator BAPPEBTI to the Financial Services Authority (OJK), signaling a more institutional phase of market development. 'Natural fit' for expansion Zhao said the decision to back Triv stemmed from its 'proven market leadership' and alignment with local regulations, calling the Indonesian platform a 'natural fit for a long-term strategic partnership.' He noted that the timing reflects MEXC's wider ambitions to grow in high-potential, regulated markets across Southeast Asia. Founded in 2015, Triv is one of Indonesia's longest-running digital asset platforms. The exchange is fully licensed to offer spot trading, staking, and derivatives, and claims over 3 million registered users. It also operates a crypto media division, CryptoWave, and supports more than 1,000 digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, meme coins, and synthetic U.S. stock products. Toncoin Jumps After '8-Figure' Investment by MEXC Ventures Triv said the deal would help expand products, boost liquidity, and strengthen infrastructure amid rising compliance demands. It will retain operational independence. MEXC Ventures signaled more regional investments may follow. The partnership would allow Triv to scale while maintaining its identity, Zhao said. 'For Triv's users, partnership with MEXC means enhanced services and reliability coupled with the core values and independence that have earned their trust over the last nine years,' he told Decrypt.

US Futures point higher, BP and Palantir earnings beat: 3 Things

The three things you need to know before that opening bell rings are that after a tumultuous week on Wall Street - US futures are heading higher after Monday's stellar performance, BP (BP) vows to give more to investors and Palantir (PLTR) reported its first ever $1 billion quarterly revenue. Okay. The first thing you need to know before that opening bell rings is that after a tumultuous week on Wall Street, US Futures, well, they're heading higher. As you can see, it's green across the board. On Monday, stocks rebounded sharply after taking on Friday, in the aftermath, tanking on Friday in the aftermath of a number of market shaking events, including a weak jobs report, fresh tariffs, new signs of rising prices and the firing of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That tariff threat hasn't gone away. Yesterday, President Trump threatened to hike tariffs on India. He's angry about the Southeast Asian countries purchases of Russian oil. Last month, Washington announced that India would be hit with a 25% levy on its exports to the US. For its part, New Delhi has hit back at the President's threat. It said it would take all necessary steps to protect its economic interests. The next thing to know about before that opening bell rings is that oil major BP has reported better than expected second quarter results. BP reported adjusted profits of $2.4 billion for the period, a third higher than analysts expected. And it's raised its quarterly dividend by 4%. The company maintained a $750 million quarterly share buyback too. However, BP said that it will review its portfolio of assets and consider more cost cuts as part of a drive to do better for shareholders under pressure to improve profitability. Not least from activist investor, US hedge fund Elliott Management. CEO, Murray Auchinloss, earlier this year announced plans to sell $20 billion of assets through to 2027, as well as to cut spending, debt and costs. Today, he signalled further action, but without giving details. The quarterly performance benefited from a 33% increase in profits at BP's customers and products business, driven by strong oil trading results, higher volumes, and a 20% rise in earnings at its Castrol lubricants unit, which the company plans to sell. BP shares listed in London rose in response. Its shares listed in New York are also set to rise when the opening bell rings too. Now remember that BP shares have underperformed its rivals since its 2020 shift towards renewables under former CEO, Bernard Looney. That's a policy that's firmly in reverse. And the final thing to know about before the opening bell rings is again focused on earnings. Palantir reported a 48% increase in revenue for the second quarter to more than $1 billion, citing the astonishing impact of artificial intelligence technology on its business. And as you can see, that's having quite the impact on its share price in the premarket. It's up over 5%, as you can see there. It's on track to hit an all time high when the New York markets open.
