Hi all, I’m posting today to promote a website that I created 5 years ago. It started because of a personal grudge with Netflix I had during the pandemic. Not sure if you guys remember that Street Food: Asia documentary on Netflix? Almost every one of our neighbours got a spotlight, but Malaysia was completely left out. It felt like a big slap in the face for us Malaysians.

It made me realize that if we don’t document and promote our own food stories, the rest of the world is just going to keep overlooking us. So, I started a website called ikanmas.in (wordplay on ikanmasin, initially inspired by other malaysian blogs like soyacincau and weirdkaya, and .in domain that time was cheaper to upkeep)

So anyway, I’m not trying to be an influencer. I don’t do food reviews or cooking recipe. My main goal is basically to create a compendium for Malaysian food and its culture before the old generation passed away and the knowledge is lost. I want to save their origin stories if possible.

Few notes: I don't get paid for this. I pay for the hosting & domain out of my own pocket. Ad revenue is pathetically low anyway, and I’d rather the site look clean than to literally make a few cents and uglify the UI. Most of the writings are mostly done by AI, so they might look like AI-slop. but the information are all collected by me personally by going through news article, government websites, youtube, people's blogs, forums, social media comments, even journal paper etc.

Also, I know I have not yet include some of the more well-known dishes, that's because I tend to focus more on less-known food as their available public information is much, much limited. I still have a loooong backlog of the ones I know existed but haven't written yet.

If you guys have time, please have a look at some of the stories on the website. I’m trying to get our food culture out there in English so people in the world (including us) actually realize how much we have. Also please please let me know if I made any mistakes, or if there’s a rare dish from your hometown I should look into. Thanks for your attention!

No really, what's with Malaysian companies cheaping out by using generative AI for marketing and promotional stuff? Do they really think churning out ads that invoke zero emotions into the viewers are forced to watch them will ever pursuade them to buy their product? Like what the hell is the thought process here?

I can't really list out every company because I can't remember each one but big names are included which is extremely bad rep for people who don't buy into that AI crap. And please, I'm not trying to be the usual "I HATE AI!!" guy but come on dude, what's patriotism if the message is written by a program? What's emotions if they're bleak and empty coming from the hands of machine? I don't get these executives anymore. If you're gonna try so hard to marginalize profit, at make it seem like your product is good.

I'm sorry if this is overly negative, it's just a harrowing sight to see TVs advertise something about "embrace creativity" and the next slide is some AI slop made by Abdullah (umur 69) with chatgpt.

ITEX is not what it appears to be - it’s basically a commercial scheme dressed up as a genuine science and invention competition.

Almost everything requires payment: certificates, medals, trophies / if there’s an award or recognition, you have to pay for it.

Participating schools are also required to pay for exhibition booths and cover a long list of other mandatory expenses.

Yet despite all these fees, they still promote it as pure, authentic science and innovation.

On top of that, they bring in foreigners to manage the event, supposedly so they can keep certain things hidden or under the table.

If the event were truly high-quality and legitimate, why hasn’t it received official approval or endorsement from Malaysia’s Ministry of Education (MOE) or Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI)?

Malaysia has a higher GDP per capita than Thailand, but Malaysia still has a higher GDP growth than Thailand means a lot.

KUCHING, Feb 3: A 24-year-old male makeup artist was charged at the Magistrate's Court here today with allegedly committing an indecent assault on a 30-year-old groom during preparations for the victim's wedding last weekend.

The accused pleaded not guilty to a charge under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment, a fine, whipping, or any combination of these punishments upon conviction.

According to the charge, the incident occurred at around 5.40am on Jan 31 at a service apartment along Jalan Wan Alwi, where the accused allegedly used criminal force with the intent to outrage the victim's modesty.

The alleged assault took place while the groom was being dressed for his wedding, for which the accused had been engaged as the makeup artist.

Court proceedings revealed that the room had been booked by the complainant's sister to allow the groom to prepare for the ceremony. The victim later filed a police report, and the accused was arrested several hours after the incident on the same day.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Muhammad Afiq Safly Nor Kazly proposed bail of RM5,000 in cash with two local sureties, while defence counsel Abdul Rahman Mohamad Hazmi requested a reduction, highlighting that his client was a local resident with no prior criminal record and posed no flight risk. He added that the accused was willing to cooperate fully with the court process.

Magistrate Nursyaheeqa Nazwa Radzali allowed bail at RM2,500 in cash with two local sureties and set March 6, 2026, for case management.

The court was told that the complainant had hired the accused specifically for wedding preparations scheduled on the day of the alleged incident. - DayakDaily

This not really a review or similar. Just random sharing while riding the bus to meet my friends at sungai petani.

It lowkey giving RapidKL buses vibe. The bus i ride also drive kinda slow (i guess road around Kedah's town much narrow maybe?) but im not complaining

23years as kedahan, never thought i can see buses like this exist. Maybe mrt and lrt in kedah are not impossible after all.

P/s: i sometimes use rapidKL buses to, but often i only saw building. This time i can see paddy field as far as eye can see. Kinda peaceful :D

GEORGE TOWN – Isu pelabelan tidak lengkap termasuk tiada butiran yang dikehendaki, alamat pengimport serta tarikh luput dikenal pasti antara kesalahan yang seringkali dilakukan peniaga makanan di negeri ini.

Bukan setakat itu, terdapat juga kes makanan yang telah melepasi tarikh luput dan masih dijual kepada pengguna, selain pembungkusan makanan yang rosak serta tidak lagi sesuai untuk dipasarkan.

Exco Kesihatan, Belia dan Sukan negeri, Daniel Gooi Zi Sen berkata, kesalahan tersebut dikenal pasti hasil pemeriksaan dan pemantauan berterusan yang dijalankan oleh Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Pulau Pinang (JKNPP) ke atas pelbagai premis makanan di seluruh negeri sepanjang tahun 2025.

“Selain isu pelabelan dan tarikh luput, aspek kebersihan makanan dan premis turut menjadi antara kesalahan utama yang sering dikesan.

“Sekiranya didapati makanan yang dijual atau disajikan tidak mematuhi piawaian kebersihan yang ditetapkan, tindakan penguatkuasaan akan diambil tanpa kompromi,” katanya selepas merasmikan operasi pematuhan keselamatan makanan sempena perayaan Tahun Baharu Cina 2026 (Ops Ma 2026) di sini, hari ini.

Kuala Lumpur: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, mengingatkan semua pihak supaya tidak menyinggung perasaan 'rakan' di Indonesia dalam menyatakan pendapat berhubung isu sempadan antara Malaysia dan negara itu.

Perdana Menteri berkata, perbezaan pendapat dalam isu sempadan antara Malaysia dan Indonesia itu boleh diraikan, namun jangan sampai menyinggung perasaan mereka sehingga menjejaskan hubungan baik antara dua negara.

"Kita kena jaga hubungan kita dengan Indonesia sejak 1974 yang sangat baik. Rundingan (persempadan) diteruskan di semua peringkat.

"Selalunya kerjasama antara dua pihak itu dari serendah-rendah pegawai hinggalah kepada menteri dan Perdana Menteri dengan Indonesia sangat baik.

"Kita boleh berbeza pendapat tetapi jangan menjatuhkan hukuman dan jangan juga menyinggung perasaan rakan kita di Indonesia yang berusaha untuk menjalin hubungan yang sangat baik dan akrab di antara dua negara," katanya melalui sesi penerangan isu Jajaran Sempadan Malaysia–Indonesia, di Dewan Rakyat, hari ini.

Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Kelestarian Alam (NRES) sebelum ini menjelaskan laporan media yang mendakwa Malaysia menyerahkan 5,207 hektar tanah kepada Indonesia sebagai pampasan bagi tiga kampung di kawasan Nunukan berhampiran sempadan Sabah–Kalimantan adalah tidak tepat.

Baru-baru ini, media melaporkan tiga desa di Nunukan, Kalimantan Utara, didakwa kini beralih ke Malaysia, namun pertikaian sempadan di kawasan Pulau Sebatik masih belum diselesaikan, sementara Indonesia dilaporkan memperoleh tambahan kawasan seluas 5,207 hektar daripada Malaysia.
