Ever since the FMCO’s implementation in June, we have not been able to dine-in at restaurants or mamak stalls while chatting with our friends. As such, it’s no wonder why many are sorely missing the good old days.
However, the government recently announced a slew of relaxed SOPs for fully vaccinated individuals, including dining-in at eateries.
Enough to make a grown man cry
TikTok user @kenanganmengusikjiwaa, who has not dined-in for two months recently uploaded a video of him crying while drinking teh tarik at a mamak stall with his friends.
In the video, he began to become hysterical upon his first sip and even asked for a tissue paper to wipe away his ‘tears’.
It’s been a long time we ‘lepak’ (hung out) at the mamak.”
The video has since garnered over 900k views and 9.2k shares at press time.

“We feel you, bro”
Although the crying was staged, many netizens were still moved by the man’s expression and reminisced on the days when they could hang out with their friends over a meal.
One netizen said she was sad as she hasn’t completed her vaccination.
Another shared how the time spent at the mamak was the ‘golden days’ of his life.
As we wait for the day we can meet at the mamak again, remember to follow the SOPs and get vaccinated!
