# M’sian Man Buys 2 Doughnuts For RM5, But It’s Actually 1 Doughnut Cut Into Half

##### Whenever we buy food or beverages from a stall, we would often make the purchase trusting that what we get is exactly what we paid for.

However, there would be times where vendors would cut corners in order to make a quick buck, just like how this man found out through his doughnut purchase.

## Bought 2 doughnuts for RM5, but reality shows otherwise

In a [34-second TikTok clip](https://www.tiktok.com/@luqmanulhakim668/video/7485441977060707602) shared by a man named Hakim, he expressed his surprise over how he was 'cheated' over some doughnuts he had bought at a Ramadan bazaar.

In the clip, he showed a plastic container with two pieces of chocolate-coated doughnuts sprinkled with some chocolate rice inside, which he paid RM5 for.

##### Things then took a rather drastic turn when Hakim found out how the doughnuts really looked like, where he took a piece and flipped it over to show that it was actually a single doughnut being cut into half to make it look like it was two pieces.

To put it into further perspective, he paid RM2.50 for half a doughnut — an amount most would consider ludicrous.

Even Hakim himself was taken aback by the doughnuts and asked viewers whether it was normal for vendors to do so.

"Just wanted to ask, I haven't bought donuts at the bazaar in a long time. Are doughnuts really like this nowadays?

> **This is one doughnut, but the seller cuts it in half to make two. Is this how modern-era doughnuts are like now?"**

## Netizens appalled

The clip has since garnered close to 170,000 views at the time of writing and netizens were disgusted by the vendor's dishonesty.

***'Not trying to insult anyone here, but how can you live comfortably if you run a business by taking advantage of customers?'***

***'OMGGGGG what's wrong with vendors nowadays? Later they complain about their business doing poorly.'***

Meanwhile, one suggested that Hakim return to the stall and ask the vendor whether he had bought a doughnut or bagel.
