Axia's lowered bumper sparks laughter and advice in viral TikTok incident
A humorous incident unfolded in a building's parking lot when a stanced Perodua Axia faced difficulty crossing a speed bump. In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, @axiandd, the driver attempted to navigate the spiral ramp. The lowered suspension of the Axia, a modification common among car enthusiasts for aesthetic appeal, caused the vehicle's bumper to scrape against the small bump on the ground. Amused by the situation, a member of the public stepped in to assist by gently lifting the car's bumper, allowing the vehicle to clear the obstacle. Despite the unconventional method, the tricky part came to an end successfully as the driver and the man who helped him through, shared a laugh over the incident. However, as the car completed the challenge, the bumper made contact with the ground, producing a loud echo throughout the parking lot. Fortunately, no damage was reported to the vehicle. Garnering over 232,6000 views and 3,204 likes, the video has sparked discussions among netizens, with many suggesting that the owner consider installing air suspension. Air suspension systems allow for adjustable ride height, providing the flexibility to raise the vehicle when approaching obstacles and lower it for aesthetic purposes. 'If it's like this, how about you switch to air suspension? It won't inconvenience you anymore. I know it's expensive, but Malaysia isn't suitable for using cars with cut springs, bro,' @ghostlove_1 commented. Referring to the bumper hitting the ground, @singkarad0 quipped the driver to put 'minyak gamat' at the spot it got hit. This incident serves as a lighthearted reminder of the balance between aesthetics and functionality in vehicle modifications.

Surge in Sabah cocoa output
Published on: Sunday, May 25, 2025 Published on: Sun, May 25, 2025 Text Size: Members of the public viewing chocolate on display at the fair. KOTA KINABALU: Sabah registered a surge in cocoa production this year driven by rising market prices now reaching RM30,000 per tonne. 'Cocoa demand is increasing and this opens up new economic opportunities, especially for smallholders in Sabah. 'Many are unaware that cocoa is used not only in food but also in production of cosmetics, health, and personal care products,' said Malaysian Cocoa Board (LKM) Director-General Datuk Dr Ramle Kasin. He said the Government, through the Ministry of Plantation and Commodities and LKM, has intensified efforts to support cocoa growers through incentives, crop rehabilitation and new technologies, with hopes of boosting national production. Sabah was the nation's top cocoa producer in Sabah in the late 1970s and early 1980s, until the crop was affected by disease. They were grown mainly in Tawau. The hosting of MICF 2025 (Malaysia International Cocoa Fair) at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) from May 24 until 27 is seen as a strategic step to strengthen cocoa industry development in East Malaysia. Advertisement It is hoped that it would expand opportunities for local entrepreneurs to penetrate global markets through innovation, networking, and access to international technology. 'With strong global cocoa prices, we are confident that industry players will become more competitive and capable of attracting foreign investment. MICF is the first step toward making Malaysia a world-class cocoa hub,' he said. MICF 2025 is the first platform of its kind to be held in Sabah and gathered more than 160 exhibitors from both local and international sectors, further strengthening Malaysia's position as a key player in the regional cocoa industry. "This is the first time we're organizing MICF in Sabah. It's not just an exhibition, but a strategic effort to bring together all players in the industry — from upstream to downstream — to build business networks and promote innovation in the cocoa sector,' Ramle said. More than 20 per cent of the participants are from international companies, including China, Indonesia, Singapore, Europe, and Africa. 'We expect over 30,000 visitors throughout the four-day event. We've been promoting the event for several months now and are offering various incentives, including a grand prize of a Perodua Axia car, motorcycles, and two ATVs to attract lucky visitors,' Ramle added. The exhibition is open to the public from 10am to 9pm daily and features chocolate-making demonstrations, chocolate-making competitions and a special area showcasing modern cocoa processing machines from European countries such as Italy. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
