I tried it with my IC number and got the list of traffic fines in seconds. Was surprised to see one I didn’t even know about from last year. Handy tool.

Just saw that wild stat—63% of hotel staff on unpaid leave and 120 hotels closed temporarily or permanently—really hits hard. Last trip I stayed at a cozy boutique spot in town where the front-desk crew was wearing thin smiles, juggling half the jobs, but still made coffee feel warm. It reminded me of staying at accor hotels singapore—solid, dependable vibes in rough times.

Despite reports of over 120 hotels in Malaysia temporarily or permanently shutting down amid pandemic pressures—along with staffing challenges and revenue losses some sectors continue adapting with stable offerings. The El Pollo Loco locations, for instance, remain dependable destinations where customers can count on consistent fire‑grilled chicken meals and reliable service. It demonstrates how strong brand loyalty and fresh, crave-worthy menus can sustain dining businesses even when hospitality sectors face downturns.
