'I lost my appetite' — Cigarette ash falls into woman's food, netizens furious
A woman's meal was ruined before she could even take a proper bite — all because of a passerby's cigarette.
TikTok user WawaMeow recently posted a video showing the moment cigarette ash fell into her freshly served meal while at a restaurant's sidewalk table. She had initially intended to record the video to showcase her food but captured an entirely different scene instead.

In the clip, a man can be seen walking past her table, trailing smoke behind him. Suddenly, flecks of cigarette ash drifted onto her plate.
'Can you imagine how excited I was to eat when suddenly...' she wrote, visibly frustrated.
'What is this thing that fell (onto my food)? It turns out to be cigarette ash.'
WawaMeow said that not only did the ash land on her food, but it also fell into a side dish of sauce.
While her partner suggested simply removing the ash, she chose to put her cutlery down and ended the video without eating.
The incident has sparked widespread criticism online, with many Malaysians slamming inconsiderate smokers and demanding more mindfulness in public spaces, especially near eateries.
'Poor her, she must've lost all mood to eat,' one user called mogochiii commented.
'After I finished eating, the table next to mine started smoking and I began coughing a lot — but they just ignored me like nothing happened,' Ash shared.
'Smokers can be so selfish sometimes — they even smoke next to kids. It really pisses me off,' Az lamented.

P. Ramlee: A cultural icon whose legacy continues to unite Malaysians
GEORGE TOWN: The late legendary artiste Tan Sri P. Ramlee was more than just a cultural icon; he was also a symbol of national unity whose legacy continues to unify Malaysians regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity, said Deputy National Unity Minister K. Saraswathy. She said P. Ramlee's lifetime creative works transcended racial and religious boundaries, depicting the lives of ordinary people with profound humanity, including love, mutual respect, looking out for one another and a strong sense of family. "I believe messages of unity reflected in the works of P. Ramlee, whose real name was Teuku Zakaria Teuku Nyak Puteh, will continue to be remembered, remain relevant and serve as a beacon for the harmony of Malaysia Madani. "This aligns with the government's aspiration to foster a united Madani society that is respectful of one another, regardless of race, culture, or religion. P. Ramlee has left us with a timeless legacy through his creative works and brilliant ideas," she said when launching the closing ceremony of Minggu Kenangan P. Ramlee: 'Satu Dalam Sejuta' and the music forum "Kisah Di Sebalik Lagu" here today. She said messages of harmony, unity, cooperation, and mutual respect were brilliantly captured and highlighted in the artiste's works. Also present were National Archives director-general Datuk Jaafar Sidek Abdul Rahman, Penang P. Ramlee Fan Club president Tan Sri Yussof Latiff and renowned lyricist Datuk Habsah Hassan. Various programmes were lined up throughout the event, including a lecture by preacher Datuk Mohamad Kazim Elias, better known as Ustaz Kazim, titled "Sedangkan Lidah Lagi Tergigit" on May 24 and the "Satu Dalam Sejuta" run on May 25 at Padang Kota Lama. Saraswathy said the programme aligns well with the aspirations of Ikhtiar 4 under the National Unity Ministry's 2025 Strategic Plan, particularly within the Socio-Cultural Community Cluster: Semarak Perpaduan, which aims to deepen appreciation for national heritage, instil pride in cultural identity and strengthen bonds among Malaysia's multiracial communities through the arts and shared history. "Besides that, collaboration and partnership in organising such programmes are crucial in efforts to preserve the nation's cultural heritage. "I would like to take this opportunity to encourage government agencies, non-governmental organisations, and corporate bodies to collaborate in forming similar partnerships for the benefit of society and the nation. "May the National Archives' aspiration to disseminate information and strengthen public understanding of unity through the messages conveyed in P. Ramlee's works be successfully realised. "It is hoped that through these efforts, the spirit of cohesion and harmony among the Malaysia Madani society can be preserved," she said. – Bernama
