Uh-oh, this doesn’t look good!

The spokesperson was quoted as saying,
“The minister (Saifuddin Nasution Ismail) just brought this up at the post-Cabinet meeting and instructed the enforcement division to look into it.”
Prior to this, a receipt from the restaurant had actually circulated on WhatsApp, and in the receipt, it can be seen that the restaurant charged its customers an extra 60 sen for using two cups and one plate. You can take a look at the bill below:

Moving on, the restaurant’s manager, Mohamad Sajahan, said that the extra 60 sen charge (20 sen for each cup and plate used) in the bill was due to the recent water cut in Klang Valley as they had to buy plastic cups, plates and cutlery to use in their restaurant. Speaking to FMT, Sajahan said,
“Around 7pm, there was no water suddenly, so we had to use plastic cups and plates. But now there is a bit of water and we are using our regular cups and plates.”
If you didn’t know, the water supply is set to return by tonight (25 April 2019). Yas!
Well, it’s good that the authorities are taking the necessary action to deal with this matter. That said, we have to keep our eyes peeled for more updates on this matter because there is no further information as of now.
