UiTM friends gift Ayam Gepuk, not flowers, in graduation surprise

The Sun01-06-2025
UNLIKE the usual flower bouquets gifted during graduation, a group of friends decided to surprise their newly graduated friends from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) with something a little more satisfying to the tummy — Ayam Gepuk.
In a TikTok video shared by @emieeyyyy, he and his friends presented Ayam Gepuk meal boxes instead of traditional flower bouquets to their friends during convocation day.
To add a special touch, they placed the meal box in a flower-decorated tray and asked the recipient to open it for a surprise. The first graduate in the video gasped and covered his mouth in delight upon discovering the unexpected (and delicious) gift.
The congratulatory post was captioned humorously: 'If you want extra rice, you can ask at the restaurant,' followed by a laughing emoji.
Alongside the meal, the group also gifted large prints featuring collages of the graduates' faces, adding a dose of humour to the heartfelt moment.
Netizens were quick to applaud the creative and amusing gesture, lighting up the comments section with laughter and admiration.
'I hope there's extra sambal in there,' joked @amewrs.
User @haifsym said she had reposted the video so her friends could get the hint and recreate the moment for her graduation.
'This is the best gift, better than flowers,' said @rxjxsxfeaa. Agreeing with that, Emiey added that the graduates could dig into their meal straight after the long convocation ceremony — a welcome treat after hours of waiting.

#SHOWBIZ: Aaron Kwok's wife shows how he kept her comfortable during pregnancy

HONG KONG: Superstar Aaron Kwok announced in June that his wife, Chinese model Moka Fang, is pregnant with their third child. Since the announcement, the 59-year-old has been doting on Fang, 38, making sure she is happy and comfortable throughout her pregnancy. In a recent video on Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), Fang said she had just returned from a trip and needed more time to rest at home. The model, who is seven to eight months pregnant, proudly showed off her baby bump. Fang explained that she often experiences back and waist pain at this stage of pregnancy. To help ease her discomfort, Kwok surprised her with an expensive massage chair. The actor also went the extra mile by buying a sterilisation cabinet for his wife's wardrobe, ensuring all her clothes are kept fresh and germ-free. "Hygiene is especially important during the later stages of pregnancy, so every piece of clothing I wear has to be sterilised before I put it on," she shared. Kwok and Fang, who married in April 2017, already have two daughters: Chantelle, seven, and Charlotte, five.

Delilah is seen putting a tiara with the words "Retired" on her mother, followed by a sash that read: "Officially Retired". As she walked down the aisle, Zuhaimi grew emotional, wiping away tears as passengers applauded. Many also captured the heartfelt moment on their phones. Delilah posted on her TikTok: "Congratulations on your retirement, Mom. After so many years of hard work, dedication and sacrifices you finally have time to relax, enjoy life and focus on yourself. "I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished, not just in your career but in raising a family with so much love. May this new chapter be filled with good health, endless joy, and adventures you've always dreamed of." Last night, Delilah posted another video of the family awaiting Zuhaimi's arrival at KLIA Terminal 1 in Sepang on her final flight from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur. Zuhaimi (centre) is greeted by family members on her final flight. The video showed Zuhaimi getting emotional again as her children and grandchildren greeted her. She received another tiara, a flower bouquet, and a sash reading "Happy Retirement! LSS Zuhaimi Hashim". The video has garnered thousands of likes and shares. Social media users have praised the veteran cabin crew. @ArRitz69 wrote: "OMG, your mom is one of a kind. I wish all of us Malaysians could show a true and remarkable spirit in our professions like her. Hats off to Pn Zuhaimi." @Husam Inspires commented: "Malaysian cabin crew, especially MAS (Malaysia Airlines), are always the best, showcasing utmost skill and hospitality. I've ended up befriending many of them after just a few hours on a flight. Selamat bersara (Happy retirement)! It is indeed an emotional moment, and I wish you all the best in life."

MyResipi launches search for Klang Valley's best nasi lemak

KUALA LUMPUR: MyResipi has launched its 'Makan Sini Best' campaign to find the Klang Valley's best nasi lemak stall through public nominations and voting. The campaign, which runs from Aug to Sept, will take place in three phases. The nomination phase, which began on Aug 9 and ends on Aug 23, allows members of the public to submit their entries by commenting on MyResipi's official Facebook, TikTok or Instagram posts. From Sept 10 to 22, the five most-nominated stalls will be shortlisted for public voting via the campaign microsite. The stall with the highest number of votes will be announced on Sept 25 and will receive an exclusive plaque from MyResipi. HIGHLIGHTING LOCAL FAVOURITES According to MyResipi senior sponsored content writer, Muhamad Shaifullah Tayep, the initiative aims to highlight authentic local flavours and recognise grassroots entrepreneurs, with the public playing the main role in the selection process. "Through 'Makan Sini Best,' we want to celebrate authentic local tastes and the spirit of our grassroots entrepreneurs. "Our goal is to let Malaysians themselves decide the true champion of nasi lemak. For us, a recommendation from the community is always the most honest one," he said. As part of the campaign, MyResipi is organising several contests with prizes sponsored by Le Nona. During the nomination phase, participants in the Creative Photo Contest on Facebook stand a chance to win a Le Nona Rosabelle Rice Cooker 1.8L. The voting phase will feature the Best Comment Contest, where two winners will each receive a Le Nona Jumbo Rose Wok Set. The final phase will culminate with an award event that will also offer free nasi lemak and merchandise from partners Sunshine Bakeries Malaysia and ZUS Coffee to the first 100 visitors, with a lucky draw prize of a rice cooker for one attendee.
