Runaway cows spark viral TikTok video — stir up plenty of laughs and farm tales
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — A man was tearfully reunited with his two missing cows after a four-hour search, as shown in a viral TikTok by @hazriqspark86.
The user said his father had been too distraught to eat, riding alone on his motorcycle to find them, the New Straits Times reported.
'He couldn't even eat, he cried during mealtimes thinking about the cows,' the son was quoted as saying.
The family later received a tip that the runaways had been spotted near a bund. Not long after, they were told the surau chairman had found and secured them at the mosque.
During the reunion, one of the cows, which the family said is tame, was seen licking the original poster's younger brother's head.
He expressed gratitude to everyone who helped in the search and confirmed the bovine duo are now safely back home.
The post has since gained over 57,000 likes, prompting others to share similar stories in the comments.

Find a great ‘pan mee' out of a house in Sungai Way, at Kedai Kopi Hoh Piah
PETALING JAYA, June 15 — With its narrow, densely packed roads and many businesses still run out of converted homes, Sungai Way has an aesthetic unlike other suburbs in Petaling Jaya. While rapid development has transformed much of the city into a landscape of shopping malls and bustling commercial hubs, Sungai Way retains its distinct roots. Established as a Chinese new village under the Briggs Plan, it remains one of the city's last visible vestiges of Malaysia's colonial past. As in many former new villages, the eateries that have become pillars of the community are often still run out of a family home, with the people behind them still living under the same roof. Kedai Kopi Hoh Piah is one such spot, and despite the kedai in the name, it is pretty clearly the front of a house. 'Kedai Kopi' Hoh Piah operates out of a house. — Picture by Ethan Lau The time-honoured setup is full of worn tables, old but not obsolete, and many regulars come from the neighbourhood for their breakfast, particularly on the weekend. Young families with kids still in their pyjamas, young couples still in their pyjamas... or maybe everyone just felt like pyjamas that morning, and I missed the memo. Everyone's gathered here today for the simple, soul-soothing bowl of noodles that is pan mee. In addition to the standard offerings of dry and soup pan mee (both RM9), there are also left-field options like tom yam, mala soup pan mee, and even a bak kut teh noodle. Noodles being made from scratch. — Picture by Ethan Lau It's telling, then, that when I walk in, it's not the medicinal scent of bak kut teh or the sharp sting of chillies and tom yam that greets me, but the mild aroma of anchovy broth. Soup is by far the most popular order, and it's easy to see why. The broth is clear and very light in colour, but it has more depth than it lets on, with a gentle sweetness carried by the anchovy base. A scoop of minced pork adds a touch of savouriness, but the real punch comes from a handful of well-fried, crispy, salty anchovies. Tying it all together is a smack of spicy, tangy sambal. Whether you go for the hand-torn or thick-cut noodles, it's a satisfying bowl. I personally prefer the dry preparation, as I like to really ruminate on the texture of hand-torn mee hoon kueh. The noodles aren't tossed in a particularly noteworthy sauce, but they're fairly thin, with a smooth, slippery texture that makes for an easy eating experience and doesn't demand much chewing. It looks light, but the soup 'pan mee' is filled with depth from the anchovy base. — Picture by Ethan Lau I suspect that's part of the appeal for much of the crowd here. Hoh Piah is far from the only eatery in Sungai Way that operates out of a home, and it's not the only pan mee shop in PJ either. But there's something about it that feels undeniably Sungai Way. Maybe it is the way it stays put, holds on, and keeps feeding the people around it the same way it has for years. Dry 'pan mee' is my favourite way to eat these noodles, which have a satisfying texture. — Picture by Ethan Lau As PJ continues to grow and businesses come and go in the name of progress, I suspect we'll come to miss places like this — even if the parking never really improves. Kedai Kopi Hoh Piah 75, Jalan SS 9a/4, SS 9a, Petaling Jaya. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 8am-2.30pm Tel: 03-7875 5910 • This is an independent review where the writer paid for the meal. • Follow us on Instagram @eatdrinkmm for more food gems. • Follow Ethan Lau on Instagram @eatenlau for more musings on food and mildly self-deprecating attempts at humour.

Air India plane crash death toll rises to 279 as search for second black box continues
AHMEDABAD (India), June 14 — Grieving families waited today for news after one of the deadliest air disasters in decades, with the toll rising to 279 people killed in the Indian passenger jet crash. The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner issued a mayday call shortly before it crashed around lunchtime on Thursday, bursting into a fireball as it hit residential buildings. Yesterday, a police source said that 279 bodies had been recovered from the crash site in the northern Indian city of Ahmedabad, one of the worst plane disasters of the 21st century. There was one survivor out of 242 passengers and crew on board the jet when it crashed, leaving the tailpiece of the aircraft jutting out of a hostel for medical staff. At least 38 people were killed on the ground. 'I saw my child for the first time in two years, it was a great time,' said Anil Patel, whose son and daughter-in-law had surprised him with a visit before boarding the Air India flight. 'And now, there is nothing,' he said, breaking down in tears. 'Whatever the gods wanted has happened.' Policemen stand guard at the crash site of Air India flight 171 at a residential area near the airport in Ahmedabad on June 14, 2025, after the Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashed shortly after taking off on June 12. — AFP pic Search for black box Distraught relatives of passengers have been providing DNA samples in Ahmedabad, with some having to fly to India to help the process. The official casualty number will not be finalised until the slow process of DNA identification is completed. Air India said there were 169 Indian passengers, 53 British, seven Portuguese and a Canadian on board the flight, as well as 12 crew members. Those killed ranged from a top politician to a teenage tea seller. The lone survivor, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, said even he could not explain how he survived. 'Initially, I too thought that I was about to die, but then I opened my eyes and realised that I was still alive,' Ramesh, a British citizen, told national broadcaster DD News from his hospital bed. Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu said yesterday that a flight data recorder, or black box, had been recovered, saying it would 'significantly aid' investigations. Forensic teams are still looking for the second black box, as they probe why the plane crashed after lifting barely 100 metres from the ground. US planemaker Boeing said it was in touch with Air India and stood 'ready to support them' over the incident, which a source close to the case said was the first crash for a 787 Dreamliner. — AFP
