4 days ago

A Malaysian woman's post about an e-hailing driver's kindness has melted hearts online, showing how even the smallest gestures can mean the world.
In a Threads post, @cornflakesmadu_ shared how she had booked a Grab ride for her father, who walks slowly and uses a cane. To prepare the driver, she informed him beforehand so he could be patient.
'Small gesture counts. I ordered Grab for abah (dad) to go home today. Told the driver abah walks slowly because he uses a walking stick,' she wrote.
The driver, Cheok Kah Yeong, not only waited patiently but also kept her updated during the journey.
'He updated me when abah got into the car and again after he was dropped off at home. He even said 'bye-bye' at the end,' she shared.
She ended her post with a heartfelt message:
'To Mr Cheok Kah Yeong, I thank you so much for this kind gesture. May your gas always be full and may you always get good customers.'
The wholesome story quickly went viral, drawing hundreds of comments praising Cheok's compassion and professionalism.
'Cried a bit looking at the last photo. It's always the littlest things,' wrote one user.
'Love this post so much. So much goodness all around. Alhamdulillah your dad also arrived home safely, and the driver was so courteous,' said z.aikha.
'I am in tears. Thank you, kind man Mr Cheok Kah Yeong!' added niexakeir.
Others also praised the driver's respectful attitude, with some tagging @grabmy to commend his actions.
'Kudos to your driver,' said peroduapuchongjayajeffery.

Malaysian Downs 978 Cups Of CHAGEE In 30 Days To Win Travel Voucher

Subscribe to our FREE In what might be the most caffeinated quest for free vacation ever documented, a Malaysian man has shocked the internet. He consumed 978 cups of bubble tea in just 30 days – all to win a travel voucher worth RM15,999. The epic tea marathon unfolded during CHAGEE's cup challenge promotion, which ran from 18 June to 18 July. The rules were simple: whoever bought the most cups would win the grand prize. What nobody expected was for someone to take it this seriously. The Numbers Don't Lie (But They're Hard to Believe) Let's break down the math that's got everyone talking. This bubble tea champion – identified only as 'Leo' on the leaderboard – managed to average 32.6 cups per day. That's one cup every 45 minutes, around the clock, for an entire month. Using CHAGEE's cheapest menu item at RM11.90 per cup, Leo dropped at least RM11,648.20 to win a prize worth RM15,999 potentially. Even accounting for bulk discounts or promotions, we're talking about a serious financial commitment to liquid sugar and tapioca pearls. The Internet Has Questions Social media exploded with reactions ranging from impressed to concerned. 'Are his feet still okay?' asked one worried commenter, while another joked, 'I'm afraid I'll win but won't have feet left to travel abroad.' Others speculated about the logistics: Was this a corporate bulk purchase? A group effort among friends? A party planning gone wild? The mystery deepened when people realised the sheer physical impossibility of one person actually drinking that much tea. The leaderboard shows Leo claiming the top spot with 978 cups, followed by 'CHA' with 735 cups and 'Faz' with 557 cups. The competition was clearly fierce, but Leo's commitment was in a league of its own. By the Book, But Beyond Belief According to CHAGEE's terms and conditions, the competition was straightforward: rankings were 'based on the total number of qualifying cups purchased via the Only paid orders through the official app counted – no freebies, no discounts with zero payment, and cancelled orders were voided. Even 100th place required a minimum of 37 cups to qualify for seven free regular milk teas, showing that this wasn't just about one obsessed individual, but a genuinely competitive field. What makes this story remarkable isn't that someone bent the rules – it's that they didn't need to. CHAGEE's official promotion created the perfect storm: a valuable grand prize, transparent leaderboard tracking, and no purchase limits. Leo simply took the challenge more seriously than anyone anticipated. The promotion has since ended, and Leo presumably has his travel voucher. His current tea consumption levels remain unknown.

#NSTviral: Late-night shop run turns into 'night safari' for family [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: A quick trip to the convenience store turned into an unexpected "night safari" for a family who encountered three animals within just five minutes along the same stretch of road. A 1-minute and 22-second clip, shared by TikTok user @nurulshaharis, shows the family's encounters during their night drive—and has since gone viral. Their first sighting was a pig crossing the road. A minute later, they spotted a cat sitting still in the middle of the road, which was soon picked up by a man waiting nearby. Then came the biggest surprise: a long, thick snake slithering across the road. "After countless cries of 'Oh my God', Alhamdulillah we got home in one piece," she wrote in the caption. The video has racked up over 100,000 views, with amused netizens flooding the comments and dubbing it a true "Malaysian night safari." User @biddiboopbeep said: "Please share the location. I'd like to go while it's still free—might get charged later since it's basically a night safari." Another user @booo commented: "Thank you for taking us along on your night safari. We really enjoyed the trip." Meanwhile, @meowz asked: "Do you live in Australia or something? There were so many animals." User @ash added: "If you spotted a tiger, that would've completed the night safari."

Malaysia-Thailand boat race to boost border economy

PASIR MAS: The plan to hold a boat race competition between Malaysia and Thailand along Sungai Golok could breathe new life into a shared cultural tradition while boosting the local economy. Kelantan Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Kamaruddin Md Nor said the event would create opportunities for small businesses, homestay operators, and tourism service providers in Pasir Mas and nearby border areas. 'We feel that events like this can revive the local economy because travellers will come not just to watch the boat race, but also to sample the traditional food, stay in local hotels or homestays and purchase handicrafts,' he told reporters during a trial race at Sungai Golok. The proposed venue, Pohon Jambu base, is already a popular gathering spot for Malaysian and Thai communities. Kamaruddin noted that its strategic location would directly benefit nearby economic activities. 'This place is beautiful and suitable for such an event because the river is not too wide and already has basic facilities. We also receive good cooperation from the Sungai Golok authorities,' he said. Discussions are underway to expand the event by including more teams from Kelantan and Thailand's Narathiwat province, potentially making it an annual affair. A unique blindfolded boat race is also being considered to attract more visitors. The recent two-day trial race featured 40 teams, including five from Malaysia, drawing around 1,000 spectators. Such events not only preserve cultural heritage but also play a key role in revitalising the border economy, heavily reliant on tourism. - Bernama
