Footage released on a leading social media platform in mid-May shows the man standing on the ground floor near a car park while a woman, thought to be his wife, confronts him from the first floor of a building.
The infuriated woman's voice is so loud that she can be clearly heard berating him in the clip.

When the woman questions him why a female colleague calls him baby, the man asks her to lower her voice. But this only irritates her more.
'I want to let everyone hear. You betrayed me!' shouts the woman.
The man says: 'She calls everyone in the office baby. Everyone.'

The woman apparently does not buy it, and asks: 'She calls everyone baby. Are you sure?'
While the man begs the woman to stop quarrelling, she continues: 'You do not tell me what to do. I tell you what to do.'

The two leaders arrived at the downtown food centre slightly after 9pm and were joined by their wives, Brigitte Macron and Loo Tze Lui. Macron and Wong were swamped with wefie requests every few steps, but patiently took some photos and had brief conversations with some patrons. Many diners stood on tables and chairs to snap photos and videos of the two leaders. Some live-streamed the occasion, while others were seen video-calling loved ones to show them the scenes. Despite all the hustle and bustle, the French president managed to try some local dishes. When the leaders headed to the open-air satay street, some diners cheered 'vive la France', or long live France.

Malaysia's first AI preacher stirs debate on Islamic principles
The launch of artificial intelligence-powered Islamic preachers has raised questions in Malaysia over the technology's potential to distort local Islamic teachings and undermine the role of qualified scholars. Advertisement In Malaysia, where Islam is the state religion, religious discourse is tightly regulated and preachers must obtain official credentials and strictly adhere to state-sanctioned interpretations of the faith – or risk infringing sharia court rulings of 'deviant teachings'. But AI avatars are on the rise, including 'AI-Dr Munir' and 'AI-Dr Munirah', which are trained on more than 9,000 published articles by former Islamic affairs minister and Kuala Lumpur mufti Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri and built using ChatGPT. The so-called Smart Sharia Officers are seen by critics as contradicting Islamic principles that emphasise learning the faith through human interaction and community. Zulkifli said on Thursday the avatars served to summarise his thoughts and answers on Islamic questions ranging from rulings, fatwa and societal issues regarding the practice of Islam. Advertisement 'Do not worry as they have been programmed to be social media-friendly,' Zulkifli said in his announcement on X. 'Their answers are also based on my stance in relation to religious matters.' Public reaction, however, has been mixed.
