M'sian calls out parents for refusing to save for her education
'Why do the children have to suffer?' - M'sian calls out parents for refusing to save for her education A young Malaysian has taken to X to anonymously unleash her fury over her parents' 'terribly bad' financial decisions, specifically their refusal to save for their children's education. In a raw and emotional post, the girl revealed the stark reality: despite earning salaries 'in the tens of thousands,' her parents have made a conscious choice to have 'no savings at all for the children's education.' The reason behind this decision, according to the frustrated youth, is a deeply ingrained generational pattern. The parents, mirroring their own upbringing, have opted not to fund their children's schooling. 'The reason: because their parents didn't do it that way before.

This candid and heartbreaking post quickly gained traction, with many netizens coming to the parents' defense. One user, @notUrAvarageSir, retorted, 'Want to say it's their responsibility? Want to say who asked you to be born? Want to say you didn't even ask to be born? Wrong, no, you have to remember, there are small children who are abused, parents who sell their own children, children who are abused. It's good that your parents gave you a place to shelter and gave you food, you should be grateful, don't be ignorant.' Adding to the criticism, @eltheroo suggested the teen's lifestyle might be a contributing factor: 'Feels like you're the one who gobbled up all their money, right? Latest iPhone, eating at T20-level buka puasa buffets, own car (I assume). Suddenly want to bring it up. Here, just go to a government university like the others, it's not like you'll die. Or even community college is cheap, your monthly allowance can cover it.' Another netizen echoed the sentiment of self-reliance, commenting, 'Why don't you, the anonymous one, try working and finding money yourself? Only then will you know how difficult it is to earn a living to feed you from small until you're grown up.'

Netizens roast man who says RM30 Japanese set beats nasi campur
A man's attempt to promote Japanese set meals over nasi campur for health reasons has sparked backlash online, with many accusing him of being tone-deaf and out of touch with everyday Malaysians. In a post on Threads, the original poster (OP) wrote: 'If you're earning over RM10k a month or worth over a million, stop eating nasi campur or economy rice twice a day just to save money. ALSO READ: Man coughs out a whooping RM28 for economy rice and drink in KL stall 'You're paying with a different currency—your health and your belly—which could cost you far more in the long run than what you've saved,' he claimed. Suggesting that Japanese set meals offer a more balanced option, the OP described them as including fruits, salmon, miso soup, a small plate of salad, rice, and cawanmushi — all for around RM25–RM30. 'The meal below costs RM25–30, is balanced, high in protein, rich in Omega-3s, includes vegetables, and is suitable for everyone (no pork, no beef). 'Economy rice/ nasi campur is a decent meal. Nothing wrong. 'I am highlighting if you have a higher spending power, there are better options to consider. There are of course things that are better/cheaper as well as more expensive/better. 'The major difference here is sugar and oil. Yes, you can have 1 meat 2 vege, but most dishes are high in sugar/oil. 2 tablespoons of oil = 1 bowl of rice in calories. 'If you would pick 'healthier' dishes in nasi campur in future, my job is done,' he wrote. His tone and suggestions didn't sit well with many. Many pointed out that eating healthily shouldn't be about spending more, and healthier nasi campur options can be chosen with just as much nutritional value — without dismissing a meal deeply rooted in local culture and accessibility. One user called dailymuscle suggested: 'Trainer here , with over 20 years experience working with clients and health and fitness and longevity - I'd rather they eat the mixed rice than this expensive nonsense - which is still restaurant made (cheap oils and ingredients) - the real life hack is to cook your own and you're in control of everything including the oils.' 'Just because food is cheap, doesn't mean it's not good for you. And just because its [sic] expensive, doesn't mean it is itsfrizal commented. 'This is rich people talk[sic]. There are plenty of healthy options at mixed rice or nasi campur stalls — you just need to make better choices. No need to be so arrogant just because you can afford more.
