A food brand recently launched "Bak Kut Teh flavored" potato chips, sparking controversy over its packaging design, which is seen as a violation of religious and cultural norms. Malaysian netizens pointed out that the packaging not only juxtaposes traditional Malay clothing with pork-based Bak Kut Teh, but also incorporates coriander and elements of the Singapore Merlion, creating a "cultural hodgepodge" that completely violates Malaysian taboos. The company has since admitted its mistake, halted shipments, and destroyed the packaging materials.

The company already win. They get the media attention. Nowsdays no such thing as decency and morals.

why tw product use merlion logo? will STB make noise?

It's Taiwan products? No wonder the religious insensitivity...

Think issue is not about Malaysia vs Singapore but the insensitivity of associating a pork dish with a religion that deemed pork prohibited or haram.

JHK Bak Kut Teh is rubbish.
Full of low ses fillers like button mushrooms, tofu, etc.


When i was young,black herbal version was mainstream den we came up with pepper version which is alot more successful.

When i was in China Hainan, the housewives cooked me a dish, Basically it's a dry gravy version of black herbal bkt n probably eaten for centuries. Most likely bkt originated from China.
Those coconut milk dessert were also eaten there for centuries, and likely is the original version of bobo cha cha and cendol. Those keuhs as well, just that they don't have the fanciful colors
All these dishes likely passed down from China migrants many years ago, only those shameless JHK insist it came from them. :o
You are making me hungry
