Thailand could challenge the trademark of a Malaysian beef dish that shares the same traits and English name as Suea Rong Hai , a famous northern Thai delicacy, even after the former was registered in Malaysia, according to the the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP).
Noor Kartini, a Malaysian business owner, recently filed an application to trademark the name of the dish, Harimau Menangis , or crying tiger in English, with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO).
A screenshot of her application went viral on social media as Thai and Malaysian netizens expressed anger over Ms Noor s decision. Some of them said the trademark would prevent others from selling the dish.

Thai dish that has found great popularity here in Malaysia, especially in the state of Kelantan.
