#NSTviral: Grocery shop owner praised as Domestic Trade video shows all regulations followed [WATCH]
In the video posted by the Melaka KPDN TikTok account, the grocery store operator was seen to be following all the regulations involved.
In the video, the woman was seen to be talking in a high-pitched voice, which was received with laughter by the officers.
However, one of the officers praised the woman for following the regulations despite the small size of the shop.
The video caught netizens' attention as some described the old woman as a 2025 model trader.

"I vote (her) for Model Trader 2025, give her a certificate, some cash to boost their business capital, and a huge banner so they can show off to the neighbours!" @aak1767 said in the comment section.
Meanwhile, some other social media users humorously claimed that the woman had been waiting for the officers to come to her shop all this time.
"I think that auntie has been waiting a long time for the KPDN to come to her shop," @_rimurusama69.

TikTok Germany moderators raise alarm over layoff plans
BERLIN: Content moderators at the German branch of social media giant TikTok sounded the alarm Thursday about what they say is a plan to replace them with artificial intelligence, potentially putting platform users at risk. Around 50 people gathered for a protest near the offices of TikTok Germany, among them some of the 150-strong "trust and safety" department in Berlin, who say management are threatening to fire them en masse. Holding a banner reading "we trained your machines, pay us what we deserve", the protestors said TikTok had already overseen one round of layoffs last year and demanded it reverse plans to fully close the department. The content moderators are tasked with keeping content such as hate speech, misinformation and pornography off the platform, which claimed more than 20 million users in Germany as of late 2023. The row in Germany comes amid a global trend of social media companies reducing their use of human fact-checkers and turning to AI instead. In October, TikTok – which has 1.5 billion users worldwide and is a division of Chinese tech giant ByteDance – announced hundreds of job losses worldwide as part of a shift to AI-assisted content moderation. TikTok did not reply to an AFP request for comment. The moderators at TikTok Germany are being supported by the union who say that the company has refused to negotiate and that strike action is being prepared if this continues. One of the moderators, 32-year-old Benjamin Karkowski, said that staff had been "shocked" when they learned of TikTok's current plans via a message from management. Another one of the moderators, 36-year-old Sara Tegge, says that the artificial intelligence used by the company "cannot tell whether content discriminates against certain groups and it can't judge the danger of certain content". She cited an example in which the AI flagged innocuous content about Berlin's annual LGBT+ pride as breaking TikTok's guidelines on political protests. If the company moves ahead with its plans she "certainly fears" users may be exposed to greater danger. Showing support at Thursday's demonstration was Werner Graf, leader of the Green party's lawmakers in Berlin's state assembly. "These people have been fighting so that the Internet isn't permanently overwhelmed" with "fake news and hate speech", he said. "We in the political arena must make clear that checking content... can't simply be left up to AI, we must legislate to make sure it's done by humans," he went on. – AFP

Popular Ipoh food vendor defends RM35 Khao Mok chicken rice pricing following online criticism
A Malaysian man recently criticised a popular food vendor based in Ipoh, Perak, for allegedly charging exorbitant prices for a Thai-style chicken and rice dish. The vendor, Dania Sedek, previously went viral in 2023 for selling an omelette dish priced at RM13. Sharing his frustration on Threads, the man urged local businesses to stop 'normalising' inflated prices for what is essentially a simple dish. In a screenshot attached to the post, the Khao Mok-style chicken with rice, served with sauce and toppings, was priced at RM35 — labelled as the 'tour price'. 'Yes, you can say I'm not the target market. If one cannot afford it, then don't buy it,' he wrote. He also warned that other vendors may follow suit and increase their prices, encouraged by the support and hype such businesses receive. On TikTok, Dania received pushback over the pricing, with the comments echoing similar sentiments as the man. Dania has since responded to these comments in another TikTok post, justifying the expensive pricing by stating the use of good quality ingredients, hygienic food preparation and fair wages for her staff. She further explained that her establishment does not 'mark up' costs at a whim and only prices her food following the actual value she and her team have 'worked on'. 'We understand that not everyone will agree but we are confident that once customers taste the food themselves, looking at several aspects, InsyaAllah, they will understand why,' she concluded the TikTok video.

Blackstone drops out of group seeking stake in US-based TikTok
PRIVATE equity firm Blackstone Inc. has pulled out of a group of investors seeking to take a minority stake in TikTok's US-based business, according to a person familiar with the matter. Blackstone has ceded its potential stake in TikTok's US operations to the other investors in a consortium that includes Oracle Corp., venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and growth equity investment firm General Atlantic, said the person, who asked not to be named while discussing private conversations. President Donald Trump in late June said he'd identified a buyer that would allow the popular social media app to legally continue operating in the US, splitting it off from Chinese parent company ByteDance Ltd. Bloomberg News later reported that Trump's proposed buyer was the same consortium that included Blackstone. The Trump administration had recently issued another 90-day extension to work out the deal. That extension expires in mid-September. Reuters reported details of Blackstone's withdrawal from the consortium earlier on Friday. –BLOOMBERG
