KL restaurant owner praises customer for buying 30 pieces of fried chicken daily to feed stray cats
Kindness often goes unnoticed, even when it's happening right before our eyes.
The owner of a popular restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Azrul Shah Mohd Isa, recently shared a heartwarming act of generosity displayed by one of his regular customers.
In a Facebook post, Azrul included a photograph of a man dressed in work clothes, carefully placing multiple pieces of fried chicken into a plastic bag.
Azrul explained that this customer would purchase 20 to 30 pieces of fried chicken every day. At first, he was curious as to why the man never used the usual food packaging, opting instead for a plain plastic bag.

When he finally asked, Azrul discovered that the man bought the fried chicken to feed the stray cats around TTDI and Sungai Penchala.
'May Allah ease and multiply the sustenance for generous people like this customer,' Azrul wrote, adding that he has encountered many kind-hearted customers over the years.
His Facebook post quickly went viral, with Malaysian netizens flooding the comments with praise for the compassionate stranger, applauding his selfless act of kindness.
'May the man who buys this fried chicken be under Allah's protection, blessed with abundant sustenance, and granted good health always,' praised Wan.
'Sharing sustenance with stray cats is never a loss—in fact, it only brings more blessings. Thank you, kind soul,' commented Nor Hafiza.

Gerik bus crash: State to give RM1,000 aid to victims' families, says Perak MB
IPOH: Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad was fighting back tears after visiting the families of the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students who perished in an accident in Gerik on Monday (June 9) morning. Speaking to reporters at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital mortuary, Saarani was visibly upset over the incident. "On behalf of the state, we extend our condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones. May the souls of the departed be showered with Allah's mercy and placed among the righteous," he said. A total of 14 UPSI students and one bus attendant were killed in the 9am accident along the East-West Highway in Banun, Gerik. The bus, which was carrying 42 students, overturned while another car, carrying four people, veered into a ditch. Saarani also offered prayers for those injured in the crash and being treated in hospitals. "To the students and others still receiving treatment, whether in critical condition or not, we pray for their full and swift recovery so they may continue their studies at UPSI," he said. Acknowledging the emotional toll on the families, Saarani assured that support was available for them. "I believe this tragedy will leave a lasting impact on the families. UPSI has counselling services available and I hope they find some comfort and strength in accepting this as part of Allah's will," he added. Saarani said the state government would allocate RM1,000 to each of the affected families. "The financial aid is small, but we hope it helps cover basic needs, such as accommodation for the family, food, or other expenses. We know not every family is financially well-off and this is the least we can do to ease their burden," he said, while thanking the police for pledging to ensure the remains of the victims are brought back to their respective homes.

‘Children in high-rises need space for recreation'
Richard says authorities here should emulate South Korea by encouraging developers to ensure their projects are children-friendly. ENSURING adequate play space could help curb the alarming increase in the number of children falling from balconies and windows at strata residences. This may include building and upgrading playgrounds, as well as organising community programmes for children to release pent-up energy. A 2021 article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health highlighted that children living in high-density urban housing with limited access to outdoor areas are more likely to engage in unsafe play behaviours. To promote safe physical activities among children, it suggested having playgrounds within walking distance of residences. Richard Kishore Joseph, the international travel and learning coordinator for Malaysia-based Dignity for Children Foundation, said many children living in high-rises, especially those at public housing flats, often lacked space and activities to fill their free time. Richard says authorities here should emulate South Korea by encouraging developers to ensure their projects are children-friendly. 'When children don't have access to play spaces, they will treat balconies, corridors and stairwells as their playground. 'So why are we shocked when tragedy strikes,' he said, when asked to comment on recent cases of children falling to their deaths from strata residences. Richard added that Malaysian authorities could emulate South Korea by encouraging developers to ensure their projects are children-friendly. 'In Seoul, for instance, there's a push towards child-friendly cities where urban planning includes play zones within walking distance of every housing area. 'Local councils can provide further support by sending mobile toy libraries to selected neighbourhoods,' he added. More children are growing up at high-rises and low-cost flats as land becomes scarcer, especially in urban areas. — Filepic Echoing similar sentiments, mother of two V. Naidu, 46, said children needed outdoor exposure every now and then. 'Those living in high-rises may feel cooped up and balconies are the only place they get to enjoy fresh air,' she said. Mother of three Siti Sabariah Hamid, 41, said raising her children in her two-bedroom flats meant there was limited space. 'I have to let them play in the corridors. 'The government should consider requiring developers to provide a certain minimum floor space when building their projects,' she said. — By FARID WAHAB

Embassy hosts Aidiladha celebration for Malaysians in Bangkok
- Photo: Malaysian Embassy in Thailand BANGKOK: (Bernama) The Embassy of Malaysia in Thailand hosted a gathering for Malaysians abroad and local guests on Saturday (June 6) to mark this year's Hari Raya Aidiladha. Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of Malaysia to Thailand, Bong Yik Jui, said while Aidiladha signified the values of sacrifice, devotion, and unity among Muslims worldwide, it also solemnly reflected to the duty and dedication carried out by the mission, in upholding Malaysia's interests overseas. The embassy also welcomed a visiting delegation from the Royal Military College (RMC), comprising 32 Putera cadets and five officers at the celebration. The delegation, led by its Commandant, Brig Gen Shaiful Azuar Ariffin, is currently in Bangkok for a one-week student exchange programme with Thailand's Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School (AFAPS).
