"First time in my life": Restaurant owner surprised after family charged $2 for $200 lobsters return to pay balance
Mistakenly undercharged $198 (Malaysian Ringgit 612) for a lobster dish at a Siglap eatery, a family returned the next day to pay the correct amount, AsiaOne reported in Singapore yesterday.
In a heartwarming Facebook post on Thursday 19 February, the owner of Cheng Ji Seafood Restaurant thanked the diners for their honesty.
Owner Dai Xingying (transliteration) told Shin Min Daily News that she had wrongly keyed in the price of two small Australian lobsters as $2 (Malaysian Ringgit 6) instead of $200 (Malaysian Ringgit 620) when calculating the bill for the family of four.
The error went unnoticed due tothe bustling Chinese New Year (CNY) crowd, and Dai did not find any discrepancies when recording their sales at the end of the day.
To her surprise, two teenagers from the family returned on Thursday night to inform her that they had been undercharged.
The restaurant owner had mistakenly charged the family $2 instead of $200 for a lobster dish on 18 February 2026.

Dai wrote on Facebook that a group of customers had "dined and dashed" on the first day of CNY.
"...when it was us who made a mistake."
"It is the first time in my life seeing a customer voluntarily return to pay the difference when it was us who made a mistake," she said.
The restaurant owner said she gave the siblings red packets to convey her new year blessings and gratitude, and also thanked their parents who were waiting in the nearby car park.
"In this era of rigorousness, their sincerity and kindness are ten thousand times more precious than Australian lobsters," Dai added.
"Thank you to the girls, thank you to this family. This has taught both the children and us that kindness is truly a two-way street."

While Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is on an official visit to Italy, Spain and Brazil to attend the BRICS summit, his own Peoples’ Justice Party (PKR) is in rapid collapse at home. News is emerging from chat groups and pundits there are mass branch resignations of members across more than 200 branches nationwide. Some branches just don’t exist anymore. The party vote for deputy president, where Puan Nurul Izzah Anwar, Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter challenged incumbent Rafizi Ramli, who was minister of economy until he resigned a few weeks ago showed that some 16,000 members out of 30,000 eligible, did not even bother to vote in this nationally publicized dual. This just indicates the level of apathy within PKR itself, with such an important event for the future of the party. PKR has gradually been losing electoral support since 2013. In the 2014 general election PKR received 20.39 percent of the national aggregate vote, and in 2022 PKR only received 15.72 percent of the...
What Mahathir expected did not happen Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could morph into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September 2016, and was no longer in charge of UMNO. UMNO won four times higher than Bersatu in GE14 Hence, after he leveraged on opposition Pakatan Harapan and stunningly defeated the scandal-plagued Najib government, his first priority was recruiting UMNO MPs to join his party. UMNO, although lost miserably, still won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 2018 General Election – more than 4 times the number of seats Mahathir’s party managed to capture. PPBM the worst among four strategic parties Mahathir’s party won only 13 seats out of the 52 Parliamentary seats it contested in the 2018 poll. That’s ...
Dua tokoh parti politik yang sukar dipisahkan dari imej rasuah , semakin panas bertelagah Rentak Madani 🎵 Akhbar Sinar Harian melaporkan semalam bahawa Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh mencabar Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi (MKT) UMNO, Datuk Lokman Noor Adam supaya berdepan dengannya sama ada di mahkamah ataupun di gelanggang, berikutan tuduhan kononnya beliau mempunyai agenda tersembunyi untuk menaikkan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein sebagai Perdana Menteri. Amaran itu dibuat selepas Lokman secara terbuka menggelar beliau sebagai ‘Ketua Pemuda H20’ dalam satu wawancara bersama sebuah platform baru-baru ini. Menurut Muhamad Akmal, Lokman kini mempunyai dua pilihan, sama ada menjawab saman beliau di mahkamah ataupun bertemu di gelanggang bagi menyelesaikan isu berkenaan. “Kamu ada dua pilihan. Pilihan pertama, kita lawan di mahkamah. Aku saman kamu," cabar Akmal. Lokman berpendapat, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Merlimau itu menggunakan kelebih...
Lebih kurang UMNO juga Satu demi satu isu mencurigakan berlaku di Selangor. Pada mulanya Pakatan Harapan (PH) disangka akan membuat pembaharuan. Rupanya lebih kurang UMNO juga. Jika UMNO sudah dihukum rakyat di Selangor, maka sudah tiba giliran PH pula. Seperti tajuk di atas, isu Stadium Shah Alam, suami Menteri DAP Puan Hannah Yeoh dapat kontrak, kontroversi pemilik syarikat parkir, dan terkini kontroversi ladang babi dijangka akan menjadi faktor penyumbang PH kalah di PRN akan datang. Semalam, MalaysiaGazette melaporkan b ekas Ketua Penerangan UMNO Selangor Encik Isham Jalil menyarankan Menteri Besar Selangor, para Exco Kerajaan Negeri dan penyokongnya supaya berpindah ke Bukit Tagar, kawasan berdekatan ladang babi yang menimbulkan kontroversi. Dengan tindakan berkenaan, barulah kepimpinan Selangor akan memahami bantahan penduduk Selangor terhadap cadangan untuk menjadikan negeri berkenaan sebagai pengeksport babi terbesar ke Singapura. “ Selepas itu b...
BEGITULAH RESAM DUNIA Mereka membisu dipercayai untuk menyelamatkan diri masing-masing. Adakah dia menjadi kambing hitam Kumpulan Tebuk Atap para individu pelbagai parti? Tunggulah PRU akan datang. Hassan Karim pun pernah berkata Ismail Sabri pemimpin hebat. Salah satu jasa dia ialah campur tangan beri pilihan kepada pengguna membayar tol di lebuh raya. Kalau tidak, semua orang kena beli dan pakai RFID. Selepas UMNO, Barisan Nasional (BN) pula tampil menegaskan bahawa parti gabungan itu tiada sebarang kaitan dengan kes rasuah dan pengubahan wang haram membabitkan bekas Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, demikian menurut laporan media. Seperti dilapor Malaysiakini , Setiausaha Agung BN, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir berkata dia juga tidak menerima sebarang pemakluman berkaitan mana-mana pihak cuba mengaitkan kes dihadapi bekas naib presiden UMNO itu . "(Setakat ini) tak adalah yang kita dengar hal sedemikian (mana-mana pihak mengaitkan kes Ismail Sabri dengan BN)...
Shah Alam City YESTERDAY, FMT reported that the capital city of Selangor had become very quiet, slow and almost no business, many buildings unoccupied, which one of them only utilised by less than ten staff of a company. Some factories closed down, businesses from petty traders to big timers closed shops for the past six months and so on. Even foreign business people from Indonesia and Pakistan decided to go back to their respective countries or moved to other places. A prominent business analyst, in his blog wrote that one of the reasons for the downfall of Shah Alam was the government's policy in overconcentrating a Malay population in the said city. Syed Albar Ali also suggested other reasons as well. Below is the write-up as published by OutSyed The Box on 30 January 2020. Syed Akbar Ali's comments : Just the other day Forest City announced 400 staff were being let go. Could it be because things are not so great anymore? D...
Read it while you still can REVIEW - *"My Story: Justice in the Wilderness" by Tommy Thomas* SPOILERS (Then again, it's a memoir, so does that really count? But you've been warned). Well I'll cut to the chase. I loved the book. But I think a huge part of why I loved it is because I also happen to be a lawyer, a litigator, and a keen follower of Malaysian politics. It doesn't hurt either that Tommy Thomas' values for the most part, align with mine. It's an honest book, in the sense that he really doesn't bother mincing his words or sparing anyone's feelings (that should be apparent by now, given the number of people who have lodged complaints, filed police reports, and threatened to sue him over the book). Reading it gives you the impression that Tommy Thomas really doesn't care (or if you're French, DGAF). And that for me, was the most compelling reason why I stayed up 2 nights in a row to finish this book (at 500+ pages, it's pre...
THE WOLF NEVER WANTED THE ARGUMENT A Wolf And A Lamb Meet At A Stream. Not As Enemies. As Neighbors Sharing Water. The Wolf Is Higher Up The Brook. The Water Runs From Him To Her. Still, He Accuses. “You Muddy My Water.” The Lamb Answers Gently. She Is Correct. Physics Is On Her Side. The Water Cannot Flow Upward. The Accusation Collapses Instantly. So The Wolf Replaces It. “I Heard You Spoke Ill Of Me Last Year.” The Lamb Explains Again. She Is Six Months Old. She Did Not Exist Last Year. Another Charge Fails. So The Wolf Stops Pretending To Care About Truth. “If It Was Not You, It Was Your Father.” And With That, The Argument Ends. The Teeth Appear. The Lamb Is Eaten. This Story Is Not About Cruelty. It Is About Power. The Wolf Never Wanted An Explanation. He Wanted A Justification. Each Accusation Was Not A Question But A Stepping Stone Toward An Outcome Already Decided. This Is The Pattern Predators Follow: They Accuse First. Then Adjust The Accusation Until Resistance Looks Like G...
Di waktu diberitakan bekas perdana menteri Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob menerima rawatan di sebuah hospital semalam, selepas pengsan dan tidak sedar, timbul pula pengedaran aktif banyak kali berita seperti di atas di media sosial menerusi platform WhatsApp. Ismail Sabri dikejarkan ke pusat perubatan swasta selepas dilaporkan rebah secara tiba-tiba pada tengah malam kelmarin. Gambar fail BERNAMA Tidak mustahil ada pihak sengaja memprovokasi dan mengeksploitasi perkembangan kesihatan Ahli Parlimen Bera itu dengan kisah yang memperlihatkan ciri-ciri amalan rasuah. Namun bukan juga ini bermakna berita itu tidak benar. Mungkin juga ia benar-benar berlaku. Timbul juga tanda tanya, sebagai ahli parlimen biasa, adakah beliau masih mempunyai setiausaha politik? Kita tunggu maklum balas dari pihak berkenaan serta laporan rasmi dari media selepas ini. Ismail Sabri kini dalam keadaan stabil dan masih dirawat di sebuah pusat perubatan swasta di Subang Jaya. Terdahulu, media melaporkan Ismail ...
