PETALING JAYA, June 23 — This Ipoh curry mee stall located in Restoran Do Re Mi 123 will be serving its last bowls of curry mee there today.
Stall owner Yap Kian Fung confirmed that he will be opening at Restoran BK 33 Kopitiam on June 26.
Yap has garnered a solid fan base for his rich curry mee offerings served with poached chicken and roast pork over the last18 years.
His devoted diners made a beeline to this Ara Damansara coffee shop.

A year ago, Yap told Malay Mail he felt business had dwindled, most probably due to the rise of new coffee shops around the area.
Moreover with the heat, many diners avoid the coffeeshop during lunch time as the main dining area is not air conditioned and protected by canopies to ward off the glaring sunlight.

Yap, who lives in Puchong, decided to relocate his stall to Bandar Kinrara, an area with higher foot traffic.
Getting into Restoran BK 33 Kopitiam was not easy as many others were also bidding for the spot but luckily he succeeded.

This morning, his assistant was going around their current space to inform their regular customers about the move which has been kept under wraps until now.
Yap is hopeful business will improve there, especially since the coffee shop is air conditioned, making it easier for office workers to grab lunch in a cooler space.
Currently a small bowl of curry mee with poached chicken is RM9, while the larger size is RM10.
For the roast pork curry mee, it's RM10 for a small bowl and RM11 for a big bowl.

At the Bandar Kinrara place, prices for his curry mee will increase by RM1 but he will add an extra ingredient namely fuchuk to the bowl which is served with bean sprouts, beancurd puffs and a choice of meat like poached chicken or roast pork.

Malaysia-Taiwan trade surges 36.8% to RM92.77b in first five months of 2025
KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia-Taiwan trade has flourished with bilateral trade surging by 36.8 per cent to RM92.77 billion in the first five months of this year, said Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). MATRADE China, Northeast Asia, ASEAN and Oceania director Mazlan Harun said Malaysia's exports to Taiwan stood at RM32.30 billion while imports surged to RM60.47 billion during this period, marking growth rates of 30.6 per cent and 40.3 per cent, respectively, a continuing positive momentum in 2024. 'The trade composition underscores a high degree of industrial complementarity, particularly in electrical and electronic products, optical and scientific equipment and petroleum-based goods, reflecting both economies' strategic roles in regional and global value chains,' he said in his opening remarks at the Taiwan Expo 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today. He said while trade figures reflect strong performance, it is the tangible business opportunities that truly drive the partnership forward. 'Taiwan's strengths in innovation, product development and manufacturing offer practical entry points for Malaysian companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to explore partnerships and build supply chain connections. 'At the same time, Malaysia's capabilities in halal products, food and beverage, and smart manufacturing, combined with its strategic position as a gateway to ASEAN and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation markets, provide Taiwanese businesses with promising prospects for expansion,' he said. He said this shared potential continues to strengthen the foundation for long-term business growth and cooperation, particularly through platforms such as the Taiwan Expo. 'As we chart the path forward, MATRADE remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting impactful trade engagements and nurturing commercially viable, long-term partnerships. 'With an office in Taipei, MATRADE is well-positioned to facilitate closer business linkages. We believe Taiwan Expo 2025 will open new doors for growth and innovation, while further deepening the trust and goodwill that have long characterised Malaysia–Taiwan relations,' he added. — BERNAMA

Chow Kon Yeow presses federal government to implement SST revenue sharing with states, including Penang
GEORGE TOWN, June 23 — Penang chief minister Chow Kon Yeow has reiterated his call to Putrajaya to consider the state's request for the federal government to share the taxes collected from the state. He said it is time that the federal government seriously consider the state government's request instead of pushing it aside. 'I took the lead last year by asking for a 20 per cent share of the taxes collected from our state but it was not approved and not taken up,' he said in a press conference at his office today. He said he is glad that the state-federal relations select committee chairman Gooi Hsiao Leung highlighted this issue and proposed that the federal government implement SST revenue sharing with states with the revision and expansion of the scope of the tax. Chow said he will try to work with other menteris besar and chief ministers to look into this tax sharing issue seriously and bring it up with the federal government together. 'He said the state welcomes the federal approval for allocations for infrastructure projects, but it also requires funding to implement other state-related projects.' 'We also need to implement social welfare programmes that require funds,' he said. He said the federal government should try to understand that every state face constraints in terms of getting sufficient revenue to run a state. 'If we cannot get a 20 per cent share, why don't we start with 10 per cent? If 20 per cent is a burden, we can understand the federal government's position as well,' he said. He reminded the federal government that the state is not run in isolation but also in the context of contributing to Malaysia as a whole. 'My earlier announcement of being the state to contribute the second highest investment to the country is proof,' he said. He said every state contributes investment to the country and to the national economy so it is time for federal to acknowledge each state's contribution. In his statement on SST revenue sharing earlier this month, Gooi said Penang has limited revenue powers due to the country's current fiscal framework. He said Penang remains highly dependent on ad-hoc federal grants. Gooi had urged the federal government to disclose the SST collection by state, implement SST revenue sharing and establish a federal-state fiscal commission.
