Never mess with a hungry Malaysian.
For the past two days, the hashtag #SiBodohKauDengarSini – which loosely translates to “listen here, you idiot” – has been the top-trending topic in the country, triggered by a woman’s frustration over shortened operating hours for restaurants during the latest Covid-19 lockdowns.
When a Twitter user complained of missing dinner for two days in a row because of problems with their delivery orders, another user’s unsympathetic response was that simply ordering earlier and not making a fuss was the best approach.
Enter @yarafaee , who in a now viral tweet fired back that delivery apps were hanging because too many people were ordering food at the same time at the end of a long day at work.
