    As Ministry of Health my self working in VECTOR unit for some years, i advices u do not underestimate Dengue Fever. This lady might in 1st phase Dengue Fever since Dengue has 4 stages. Once u admitted as stage 4 dengue with serious implication might bring someone to death. So please dont hang out outside the building early sunset with skin exposed outfit since that is the fiercing mosquitos hunting time for blood to suck. And one more thing, Dengue is virus-caused fever and still no cure for this disease yet so far. Only some treatment to lessen pain available.

    I'm not sure whether she ate in public during Ramadhan or not. For Muslims in Malaysia it's considered a religious crime to eat in public during Ramadhan without any reasonable excuse.
    But Muslim women usually get away with it because they have a menstrual period which allows them not to fast.
    But generally in Malaysia even if you have reasonable excuses such as period for women or sickness or gastric or any other illnesses that allows you not to fast or you are a long distance traveller, still people will try not to eat in public out of respect for others who are fasting and also to avoid any misunderstanding with the authority. They usually will buy take aways and just eat in their own private space or home.
    This only applies for Muslims. For non-Muslims in Malaysia they can eat anywhere anytime anything.
    But I also observed that most of the non-Muslims in Malaysia will try not to eat in front of their Muslims friends during Ramadhan out of respect.
    Living in a multiethnic multicultural multireligious country like Malaysia you will develop a form of tolerance, acceptance, compromise and respect for each other.

      @@sofiaglove Yes. Compassion should be the main virtue but each country has their own specific cultural practices and law. It's in the religious law of each state in Malaysia that eating in public without any reasonable excuse during Ramadhan is considered a religious crime for Muslims in Malaysia. Once it's encoded within the law it can be enforced by the religious authorities whether you agree with it or not. If you disagree with such laws then it's your responsibility to persuade your MPs or ADUNs to amend such law. Until it is amended, the law stays.

    Rice 🍚, durian , touch and go - card are easy for Filipinos. 😃 Tea 🍵 in The Philippines 🇵🇭 is not often drunk by its citizens: coffee ☕ is the preferred drink. The Chinese 🇨🇳 and Indians 🇮🇳 are the main tea drinkers there.
    Durian is the reason Anthony Zimmer cannot become a Malaysian citizen! Or a citizen in another Asian nation! L 🤣 L
    I hate 😒 the smell. It is like a skunk 🦨 (Note that plenty of skunks live in the Bay Area.) But the taste, IMO, is yummy 😋.

    Unfortunately, I notice a lot of disrespectful comments by some netizens. Why you allowed it. They can criticize but with facts, not hatred. Don't allow them name-call a country with "bad words". A name of a country is very sacred and dear to many millions. They can dislike or have an opinion of a country but mention it respectfully.

    Malaysian refers to citizenship (having the blue ic formally) and beyond that having deep connection to the land.. Ones may be considered a real anak jati Malaysia if him/her can really blend in the culture and local people, understand and respect each other differences, can talk and understand their mother tongue, feel really connected to the land and people in a sense want to grow and build the country together, willing to protect it if something harming it. That is a real Malaysian to me.. harvesting just good time and enjoying the food is not enough to be Malaysian.. its shallow.. All are welcome here in Malaysia though.. do enjoy what you can.. but dont claim to be one just because of these shallow reasons... sorry if i am being too patriotic.. cant help it since i am Malaysian...
