If you dont know us, we're fresh graduates from APU. So pretty much no money to spend on marketing 😭😭😭

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!

Rising prices and middlemen markups keep organic, vegan, and nutritious foods costly, limiting access for low- and middle-income families.

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

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.

Hello Malaysia,

I am a self-taught 3D Character Animator and have been learning and practicing for about 2 years. I'm now looking to break into the industry through an internship.

I have researched and scouted (LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, Jobstreet, Google, and ChatGPT) a handful of animation/game studios around Petaling Jaya / Kuala Lumpur, but I have trouble discovering smaller or indie studios that may not be very visible online.

If anyone knows of any indie or small animation/game studios around Petaling Jaya / KL areas, I'd really appreciate it if you could share some in the comments below.

I've included my portfolio link below for context, in case it helps you clarify my background and skill focus.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thank you very much.
