When eating durian in a hotel can be a ‘costly' affair
A CHINESE national holidaying in Singapore was slapped with a S$200 (RM659) fine for eating durian in a four-star hotel in Orchard Road, reported Kwong Wah Yit Poh. The tourist shared her experience on her RedNote social networking account on May 26 that she was unaware of hotel regulations in South-East Asian countries like Singapore and Malaysia prohibiting guests from bringing durian into the premises. 'Some netizens shared online that they had been fined S$500 before. So, I think S$200 was still a reasonable amount and I requested the cleaner to get rid of the leftover durian in my room,' she said. The tourist said she arrived in Singapore on May 24 and the next day, she bought packets of durian and other fruits and took it back to the hotel as there was no place to eat them. The following day she received a note from the hotel informing that the housekeeper discovered durian smell in her room and that the hotel would impose a S$200 cleaning fee to get rid of the smell. > Taiwanese actress Joe Chen has hit back at those who criticised her over her lack of knowledge on appendicitis, China Press reported.

Is he the new ‘Rizzler' kid? Internet is obsessed with dancing little boy: ‘Love this kid'
He's got the moves. With all the chaos going on in the world, sometimes all it takes is a funny, wholesome video to bring people together. A young Asian boy is going viral for busting a move to a Pitbull song — and the internet can't get enough of him. Advertisement X (formerly Twitter) user @itsme_urstruly shared the adorable video with the caption, 'This is absolutely how everyone should feel music.' The tweet has almost 14 million views, with many people agreeing with the X user's sentiment. Advertisement 'Wow, love this vibe!' one person wrote. 'He's got the vibes of a drunk salaryman [white collar worker] at karaoke at 4am, the expressions are on point,' hilariously read another tweet in response. 'Love this kid!' read another tweet. 'Me in the club this weekend, 4 shots in,' joked another tweeter. Advertisement Another X user shared the video writing, 'The Chinese are closing the gap on Rizzler technology… it's never been more over.' If you're confused about what the term 'Rizzler' means — it's the nickname of a young New Jersey social media personality, Christian Joseph. Since 2023, Joseph has created a name for himself by creating humorous videos and by making the 'Rizz Face' — an expression where the 9-year-old squints his eyes, while stroking his chin. People say the Rizzler has an old-school Italian man trapped inside his body. Advertisement Some defensive X users didn't think the dancing kid even came close to the OG Rizzler. 'Not even close. One of Rizzler's defining traits is that he has the old soul of a 60-year-old Italian American construction worker from the Bronx with COPD trapped in a boy's body but also retains youthful wonder and whimsy. This kid is just a kid — he could be anyone.' 'No. They can never be him,' someone else quipped. Yet, someone else agreed deeming this dancing kid the Chinese rizzler jokingly writing, 'I have a team of 20 people searching RedNote for the Chinese Rizzler.' While others were more neutral: 'Every country has a regional Rizzler for sure. RedNote is a Chinese social media app. It gained popularity in the US when people were fearful of the potential ban of TikTok in the US.
