'Show some manners!' — M'sian nurse double parks outside school, flashes middle finger when told to move
A woman believed to be a nurse has drawn the ire of netizens after a viral dashcam video showed her double parking in front of a school and responding with a rude hand gesture when asked to move. The incident, which occurred around 2.30pm on July 30, was captured on a dashcam and later uploaded to the Dashcam Malaysia Facebook page.

Instead of using the open space, she chose to halt in the middle of the road, causing a jam and forcing other drivers to either wait or cautiously navigate around her. When the dashcam driver honked, she responded by casually waving them around before flipping her middle finger and driving off without further engagement. Her actions quickly drew backlash from Malaysians online, who criticised both her inconsiderate parking and disrespectful behaviour. Many expressed disappointment, especially given her role in a caregiving profession often associated with patience, empathy, and public trust. Others debated whether wearing a uniform in public should come with an added sense of responsibility. As of now, there has been no official statement from any healthcare authority or enforcement body regarding the incident.

‘How do men earning below RM4k dare to marry?' — M'sian's post sparks heated debate on love vs income
A Malaysian man's honest question about marriage and money has gone viral on Threads, stirring a passionate debate about what truly sustains a relationship—love or financial stability. In the post, the user asked, 'How do men earning RM4K a month even have the courage to get married? 'And for those who are already married to men earning RM4K — can you comment on how it feels?' ALSO READ: 'Need at least RM40k' - M'sian laments soaring wedding costs, sparks discussion The user clarified that the post wasn't meant to insult anyone but was a genuine attempt to learn from others, stating,: 'I'm posting this for learning purposes and to hear your advice... not to put anyone down.' The post quickly drew in netizens, many of whom shared personal stories and advice, insisting that mindset, not just money, makes a marriage work. One netizen called namza_zaki shared: 'I got divorced because my ex-wife worshipped money — a trait she inherited from her parents. 'I had already provided everything we needed, but she kept wanting more, way beyond reason. Her desires were at a T20 level, even though she came from an ordinary background. She even admitted she was materialistic. 'All I ever wanted was to be happy. But people who treat money like their god only bring more problems.' 'Live within your means—only then will it feel enough. If you're earning RM2,000 but living like you're earning RM4,000, that's why it never feels sufficient,' mfaridfm opined. 'Based on current prices, a RM4K salary really isn't enough—but if you understand the meaning of supporting and complementing each other, I think it's possible,' aries_hatta commented. 'If you're waiting to earn RM40k before getting married, you'll be single forever—your love life will collect cobwebs!' azzahakem7 retorted.

Newly married M'sian vents about paying all the bills
A newlywed man's anonymous complaint about shouldering all household expenses has gone viral — triggering a firestorm of opinions on X (formerly Twitter) over marital expectations and financial expectations. In a post shared by user @meinmokhtar, the man questioned whether it was normal for one partner — in this case, himself — to shoulder all financial responsibilities. 'Hi bro, I just got married. Is it normal for all the financial commitments to fall on me? 'My wife doesn't help at all. I understand my responsibilities and providing nafkah (maintenance), but what about other things like Coway, Cuckoo bills, electricity — can't she help even a little?' He then admitted that his single life was better. 'Marriage like this is painful. Being single was better.' ALSO READ: M'sian earning RM1.7k shares how her husband earning RM7k insist on splitting living costs, utilities The post has since garnered over 61,000 views, with netizens quick to weigh in — some offering advice, others not holding back their judgment. @bailikan advised the man to reassess his spending: 'You're the head of the house — decide what's necessary. Cancel Cuckoo, buy mineral water. Pay for what's essential and limit the rest.' @not_fiz echoed the sentiment: 'Cut out anything that feels like a burden. If your wife insists on keeping it, ask her to pay.' @noneednamehere: 'You're a husband, but acting foolish. Talk to your wife — why are you ranting here on X? If you can't afford it, why were you so eager to get married? Whatever it is, it's still 100% your responsibility. If you want her to help, talk about it properly — don't go gossiping online.'

Japanese YouTuber surprised by Malaysian office makan culture
BREAKFAST first, work later — that's one of the biggest culture shocks Japanese YouTuber Saki experienced while working in Malaysia. In a video titled 'Why Malaysia is the best country for Japanese women – This is the reason why we live here longer', Saki invited fellow creator Aya-san to share what keeps them rooted here. One answer stood out: how relaxed Malaysian workplaces are compared to Japan. 'In Malaysia, the working environment is totally different,' said Saki in the video, which has gained over 190,000 views since October 2023. Around the 8-minute mark, Saki shares her surprising discovery: although some of her colleagues clock in at 8am, they don't actually start working at that time. 'Malaysians don't start working at 8am. They have breakfast first! I was so surprised. Some eat in the pantry, some go to the mall nearby. 'Then they start working around 8.30 or 8.40,' she said, laughing. This struck her as unthinkable in Japan, where punctuality is strict and eating during work hours is frowned upon. Naturally, Malaysian netizens had a field day in the comments section of a post on the r/Malaysia subreddit. 'If I'm not allowed to have breakfast at work,' wrote user @Sicgoatengineer, 'then why is there an RM2 nasi lemak stall right in front of my office building? Why? Why? Why?' Another user, @Xydes, put it this way: 'People might see it as lazy or unproductive — we see it as mental (and tummy) preparation.' Some pointed out the stark contrast between rigid and flexible work cultures. @hackenclaw shared, 'Japanese companies don't appreciate working smart, they only appreciate working hard. You finish early? Here, take more work.' And then there's the Malaysian efficiency twist. @sadhyppozxc laid out their daily routine: '8am: Start work, but makan until 8.30. Laze around till 9. Then work. Wrap things up by 12. Lunch at 12.30. Chill till 2. More work. Done by 5.30. Go home. Get paid. That's balance.' While Saki found the practice surprising, many Malaysians saw her video as a fun reminder that sometimes, starting the day with nasi lemak and teh tarik isn't a sign of slacking — it's just how things get done here.
