In a move that has left many scratching their heads, a popular restaurant in Johor Bahru has introduced a new menu item that's got everyone talking - a single cup of iced water for a whopping RM2, with no refills allowed. The controversy began when a disgruntled diner took to Facebook to share his receipt and express his outrage over the steep price tag.
The customer, who posted in the "吃的平台" Facebook group, claimed that the restaurant had recently updated its menu, resulting in the new pricing. The receipt showed a clear charge of RM2 for a cup of cold filtered water, leaving many to wonder if the restaurant was trying to make a quick buck off its patrons.
As news of the RM2 water spread like wildfire, netizens took to social media to express their discontent. Some called for an official complaint to be lodged with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, while others joked that the restaurant must be serving "atas" (high-class) water to justify the price.
While some defended the restaurant, pointing out that the RM2 charge likely included service tax and other fees, many others were quick to mock the pricing.
