These Are The Top 5 Articles You Read On Rojak Daily In 2017

We can't thank you enough dear reader, for the support (and the clicks) that you've given us. It has been a great 2017, and we want to tell more stories that you love in 2018 so keep checking RojakDaily.com for greater things ahead. 

With that out of the way, here are the articles you enjoyed this year from Rojak Daily and Rojak Daily KAW. Yes, they're different: one is in English and KAW covers all things entertainment in Bahasa. Oh, also there's SKOP, the latest edition to our ever growing empire of daily stories (read: tiny office of nine people). 

1. Loob Holding And Tealive Don't Want You To Read This Story 

Can you believe the great 'Tea Wars' happened at the beginning of this year? It doesn't even seem to matter now because Chatime is a distant dream and Tealive seems to have maintained their dominance in Malaysia. We knew this was a story that had to be told and that many news outlets were hesitant to tell. It was a story that was in direct opposition to the victim narrative that Loob Holdings had spun and it wasn't very Malaysian to back foreigners trying to take back their franchise. Once again, we'd like to acknowledge the talents at burgielaw.com who were gracious enough to allow us to republish their findings. 

2. Remember Charice The Teenage Singing Sensation? She's Now A Man

The artist formerly known as Charice stirred a lot of conversation on our Facebook page and on the article itself. The Adam and Steve argument was brought up, naturally. So, as of this list, the two things that interest Malaysians are: shady business tactics and transgender singers. The news of his real identity, Jake shook all of us in the office and we quickly pounced on the chance to post it first. 

3. Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka Just Announced The New Malay Word For ‘Photobomb’ And It Sounds Fishy
This story came out in October and since then the term tunafoto hasn't quite taken off. Unlike horrible words like "bae" and "fleek" that are pervasive and sullies the English language, tunafoto remains relatively unused. C'mon guys, it's a funny word that needs more recognition. Hashtag #tunafoto today. Show some love. #tunafoto

4. Chatime Malaysia is Closing. Go Out and Enjoy Your Final Cups of Chatime

Number four and number one on this is list is about Chatime, or rather, the closing of Chatime and the rise of Tealive. We should probably thank them for all the tea-riffic traffic. This article garnered a lot of conversation, even in the comments section which is usually emptier than SS2 Mall. We're not sure if the 106 people who commented on the post realised that Chatime was just being replaced by Tealive or did they just stick around long enough to leave a comment and read the headline without reading the rest of the article. 

5. This RM800 dUCk Scarf Sold Out in Just FIVE Minutes. Here’s Why

We listed five reasons why the RM800 scarf sold out in five minutes. In the comments you guys were quick to call us out on the spelling of the words dUCk. That's d and k in small letters and UC capped. Well, considering that a Burberry cashmere scarf retails for RM2,350, RM800 isn't that far off. Also, the writer of the article is a hardcore fan of Vivy Yusof. C'mon Vivy, give us that exclusive interview. 

Here's what you read in Bahasa from our KAW brethren with comments from their writer. Since this writer can't type in Malay to save a baby seal (sorry PETa), her comments will follow each article (all of which she wrote by the way).
