Four Bills to watch out for in the last Dewan Rakyat sitting of 2024: Two on online safety as scams and cyberbullies spike, one for gig workers, and one on citizenship
In a statement posted on her Instagram account, Minhas said: “Last week’s episode had a pitch from entrepreneurs about Bobba Tea that has sparked a big conversation. After more reflection, due diligence and listening to many of your opinions I will not be investing in Bobba Tea.” The controversy began during a recent episode when Liu, a Chinese-born Canadian actor, voiced concerns over the entrepreneurs’ failure to acknowledge bubble tea’s Taiwanese origins. He criticised the pair for profiting off a product that holds deep cultural significance without giving proper credit, sparking a larger debate online.
The company explained that their comments about improving bubble tea’s formula were poorly communicated, partly due to language barriers, and were aimed at differentiating their product from other ready-to-drink options in large retailers. “We take responsibility for the impact this has had... and will re-evaluate our branding, packaging, and marketing strategies to ensure respectful and accurate representation.”
