<p>Collecting sneakers is one of the more expensive hobbies out there as many would like to chase the hype of owning the freshest kicks.</p>
<p>But one question that sets the bar is, how much would you really pay for a pair of sneakers?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://c.tenor.com/hbXArWrJ3CEAAAAC/new-shoes-nice.gif" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recently, luxury fashion brand Balenciaga had unveiled their &ldquo;Paris Sneaker&rdquo; collection which features some limited edition of their high-top sneakers. The price is set at S$2,590 (~RM8261.33) each which sounds reasonable considering it&rsquo;s Balenciaga.</p>
<p>But the shoes feature a design that&rsquo;s &ldquo;fully destroyed&rdquo; and some with a distressed canvas and rough edges around it making it look pre-worn.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653035552/unsigned/v6vi3uwxfbhsehlxnxqz.png" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now these ones up here are the rough edges and pre-worn looking sneakers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653035560/unsigned/j9mjzp4yro5wmhfthota.png" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The &ldquo;extra destroyed&rdquo; shoes are one real ones in question. They quite literally look like they were pulled out of the trash and was abandoned somewhere for years as it features extremely worn and scuffed materials, worn marks and dirtied.</p>
<p><span style="color: #fc0505;"><em>Now why would someone do this&hellip; or is this a sign of Balenciaga calling out the French for being very dirty?</em></span></p>
<p>Currently, Balenciaga says that the extra destroyed sneakers will have only 100 pairs and is available on their website in either black or white.</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;Worn for a lifetime&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>The French designer company explains that the limited-edition shoes and more specifically the &ldquo;extra destroyed&rdquo; ones suggest that the sneakers were meant to be worn for a lifetime.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, despite their efforts, it seems like they received more backlash than support from consumers worldwide. <span style="color: #fc0505;"><em>Yeah, no one wants to pay that much for a shoe that&rsquo;s looks like that. In fact, you could probably look better in a worn-out pair of converse instead.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1653035601/unsigned/joqaffqp2xg1lerdcpqv.jpg" alt="See, even if beaten up, they still look good and hold its shape." width="500" height="333" /><br /><span style="font-size: 11px;">See, even if beaten up, they still look good and hold its shape.</span></em></p>
<p><em>&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>Here are some of the comments from netizens about the beaten-up shoes:</p>
<p>As quoted by my senior editor, &ldquo;The shoe looks like s***&rdquo;. <span style="color: #fc0505;"><em>Yep. He&rsquo;s not wrong.</em></span></p>

<p><strong>Heavy criticism from the Chinese consumer market</strong></p>
<p>It&rsquo;s no stranger that the brand had sparked anger among Chinese consumers. Recently they had over 2 million consumers voicing their criticism over Weibo and saying the shoe is too ugly and said it shows how the wealthy can be insensitive and tone-deaf.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DzdyJk6P3FE" width="378" height="671" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Back in 2018, the brand was boycotted by many after a staff had roughly manhandled a Chinese tourist at a Balenciaga outlet in Printemps department store in Paris. In 2020, they received more backlash after having launched a series of bags for Chinese Valentine&rsquo;s Day where many say it was gaudy and insulting.</p>
<p><span style="color: #fc0505;"><em>Well, I&rsquo;m no shoe collector (at least for those expensive hyped-up shoes) but I do love getting new pairs to use and rotate them occasionally. Even if I had the money, I wouldn&rsquo;t bother getting these shoes cause it seriously just doesn&rsquo;t justify the price. </em></span></p>

RM8,261 For A Pair Of Extremely Trashed Balenciaga Shoes? Count Me Out.

<p>When living in the busy city, we can&rsquo;t help to think that we need more greenery within the city. When you look at most major cities, there&rsquo;s at least either one large section of green such as Central Park in New York City or even a park within the city such as the Lake Gardens Park or Taman Tugu right here in KL.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656578344/unsigned/ilhgeyu8ohofg6ocuy9q.png" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re one to go outdoors a lot or perhaps go to Bangsar often, you may have seen a place called Kebun-Kebun Bangsar which is a community garden within the city. It&rsquo;s situated along Lorong Bukit Pantai, Bangsar, where there&rsquo;s Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) electric pylons.</p>
<p>In fact, Kebun-Kebun Bangsar is violating their temporary occupancy license (TOL) for their nursery purpose as they had just been slapped with an eviction notice by the Federal Territory office of the department of the director-general of lands and mines (JKPTG).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656578364/unsigned/jcbtiwnmdssyq2cpytjh.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The post was shared via their Instagram page where the notice was dated 23 June 2022 where they are in violation of Section 425 (1) of the National Land Code for using land located underneath high-voltage power lines owned and maintained by TNB without permission.</p>
<p>The violation states that they can be fined RM500,000 and jailed for five years if they fail to comply and remove all structures on the property. Additionally, the office states that they will not be entertaining any appeals after sending out the notice.</p>
<p><strong>Violation of terms of license</strong></p>
<p>Malay Mail reported that the office stands by the decision to evict the garden after violating the TOL. According to Datuk Muhammad Yasir from JKPTG, the office does encourage the gardening efforts but they are still required to abide by stipulated conditions.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Conditions for approved nurseries include the types of crops and no permanent structures are allowed under power lines, according to technical specifications from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB),&rdquo; said Yasir.</p>
<p>The eviction notice also comes by written and verbal complaints submitted by the residents of the area due to the garden rearing live stock within the property. The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) had ordered the garden to remove the animals back in 2020 as the chickens, ducks and sheep within the property had caused the to be full of flies, noise disturbances from the animals as well as odour pollution within the housing area.</p>
<p><strong>Hopes for Kebun-Kebun Bangsar to continue on running</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656578387/unsigned/ax4j01ru9be3foi6he40.webp" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>62-year-old Ng Sek San who founded the community garden had thanked all of those who helped maintained the garden which was backed by the DBKL on a two-year license. &nbsp;However, he failed to realise that the city did not extend their license beyond 2018 and only came to know about it when they received the eviction notice.</p>
<p>Although several letters of appeal were submitted to the relevant authorities, there had been no avail. Even 19 out of 20 of the residents who live adjacent to the garden had supported them.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Every week, thousands come to our farm to acquaint themselves with nature. We want to be left alone to do our work peacefully. It must be protected and safeguarded by everyone, including City Hall and the other authorities.&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p><strong>Farm praised by Prime Minister</strong></p>
<p>Just recently before the eviction notice, Prime Minister Dato&rsquo; Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had praised the farm as fruits, vegetable and flowers have been harvested from the land and been distributed to those in need within the community as well as soup kitchens.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="in">Saya berharap komitmen kerajaan terhadap agenda hijau dapat disemai di semua peringkat untuk generasi masa depan Keluarga Malaysia.</p>
&mdash; Ismail Sabri (@IsmailSabri60) <a href="https://twitter.com/IsmailSabri60/status/1533427316658909184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2022</a></blockquote>
<p>
<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, the garden within the city had played a role to educate society on the effects of climate change.</p>
<p>Following the eviction threat, Ng fears that future volunteers will be driven away and it will be harder to maintain the garden if they are able to continue so.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0707;"><em>It&rsquo;s hard to come by good things in life and sometimes I question, why can&rsquo;t authorities give a bit of slack and also talk it out with those occupying the land. At least they didn&rsquo;t build a full-on building on the property as a garden which helps supply the community is much more beneficial. </em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0707;"><em>I guess we&rsquo;ll have to wait and see what will happen to the garden but let&rsquo;s hope it&rsquo;s here to stay.</em></span></p>

"Praised By The PM Yesterday, Asked To Leave Today" Kebun-Kebun Bangsar Given Eviction Notices

<p>Despite how some people may say that Malaysians are sometimes racially divided, we all share one common love which is the love for sports (aside from our love for food at least).</p>
<p>Recently our diving queen Datuk Pandelela Rinong Pamg had bagged another medal as she finished 3<sup>rd</sup> place for the women&rsquo;s 10m platform during the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656566190/unsigned/fp7wn84kdjnxenzkj2sg.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0707;"><em>Congratulations!</em></span></p>
<p>Just before she bagged the medal, the official Olympics twitter account posted an image of her swimming in the pool captioning &ldquo;Can she bag another medal to her collection in the #FINABudapest2022 women&rsquo;s 10m platform final?&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Pandelela fell short of the gold and silver medal who were won by China&rsquo;s Chen Ruxi and Quan Hongchan respectively. Pandelela had scored a total of 338.85 points which secured her bronze medal.</p>
<p>Although how much we Malaysians and her supporters love to see it, Pandelela had reacted in the most Malaysian way possible with a &ldquo;boleh lah&rdquo;!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a report by New Straits Times, this is Pandelela&rsquo;s second medal after winning Bronze in the 2015 edition in Kazan, Russia.</p>
<p>Plus, the win also shows that Pandelela has been performing better and more consistent as she had tallied 332.10 and 313.15 points during the preliminaries and semi-finals. Although she&rsquo;s the oldest competitor in the tournament, it&rsquo;s dubbed as a moment of &ldquo;redemption&rdquo; after the disappointing performance she had at the Tokyo Olympics where she was one of the favourites to earn a medal.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I guess we can say that this is my redemption after the Olympics. I see every success and failure as a motivation to do better. And I am always inspired to watch the Chinese divers perform,&rdquo; said Pandelela.</p>
<p><strong>Congratulating our diving queen</strong></p>
<p>As many people do follow her, Malaysians took no time to congratulate her.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656566261/unsigned/ijn6p2kcrlgvf7zcm6xv.png" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today (30 June) she&rsquo;ll be competing in the women&rsquo;s 10m platform synchronised event along side Nur Dhabitah Sabri as they look to defend the silver medal won by her and former partner Datuk Leong Mun Yee in 2019.</p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>The issue of human trafficking has always been around for a while now but over the past few months, Malaysia&rsquo;s headlines have been reporting many cases of locals being human trafficked as they fall victim to job scams by syndicates.</p>

<p>Due to Malaysia&rsquo;s unstable economy, Malaysians of all ages have been looking out for jobs all over and some jobs were advertised online stating that it has high pay and great benefits. The victims then get attracted to and when they meet up with their new &ldquo;employer&rdquo; they get smuggled to countries such as Cambodia or Myanmar. From there, they are forced to conduct scam operations mainly targeting Chinese speaking individuals or foreigners.</p>
<p><strong>Job syndicate arrested by authorities</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656558998/unsigned/d6tdgryxbeefbai2xdva.png" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the authorities cracking down on these cases, it looks like these syndicates are slowly getting caught. One such recruiter who allegedly works with the syndicates has been arrested recently. PCA Public services and Complaints Department head, Datuk Seri Michael Chong had identified the man as &ldquo;Danny&rdquo; and he is an Indian-American who can speak fluent mandarin.</p>
<p>Danny frequently operates via social media luring the victims with ads of high paying jobs available abroad. After convincing the victim to apply for the job, he would personally meet the victims and picked them up in person before smuggling them through clandestine routes out of Malaysia to go Myanmar and Cambodia.</p>
<p>Victims were also held under ransom while they perform their job and negotiation between the syndicate and family are talked upon as many want their loved ones back home.</p>
<p><strong>Victims participate in scam operations under tight watch</strong></p>
<p>The victims later learn about the truth of the jobs they were getting into as members of the syndicates kept them under watchful eyes with armed guards 24/7 to ensure that they don&rsquo;t go against their jobs.</p>
<p>The victims were all kept within a compound on multiple floors where it&rsquo;s said to have over 300 people and many of them also included Malaysians.</p>

<p>As of now, Datuk Seri Michael Cheong says that their department currently has as many as 74 complains regarding job scams but so far, only 23 people have been rescued. Authorities are currently in the right direction towards rescuing victims as operations are still currently ongoing.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0707;">&nbsp;<em>Hopefully these victims will soon return to home to their families. Although it&rsquo;s tough for authorities to catch all these syndicates but slowly does it. </em></span></p>

Victims were lured via high paying jobs on social media but authorities are still out to find more syndicates involved with the human trafficking issue happening in Malaysia.

<p>Ping had no small change and used a RM20 note to pay for his parking and in return, rather than getting notes back, he received RM18 of change in 50 cent coins (which were all new and shiny). The TikToker showed his frustration in a joking way saying how he now has all the coins while holding it in his hand.</p>
<p><strong>Taking an opportunity</strong></p>
<p>After that went viral, our favourite meme site MGAG took the opportunity to jokingly roast 1 Utama for not having TnG as one of their cashless parking options.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656491756/unsigned/ivbftk6to1ftzrhpfl99.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>But today the joker gets outplayed as 1 Utama came back with the ultimate response to MGAG as they plugged a promo for their ONECARD parking system.</p>

<p>1 Utama said that they had a good laugh on the post and figured a meme would be just as good as a response for this type of situation.</p>
<p>A spokesperson from 1 Utama had also shared that they do not believe in monopolies and want to keep parking rates affordable and free of surcharges for their shippers. Plus, for those using ONECARD, shoppers can earn UPoints and convert them into parking credits.</p>
<p><strong>Get a free ONECARD!</strong></p>
<p>If you haven&rsquo;t gotten a ONECARD yet, it&rsquo;s time to do so as 1 Utama is giving out it out for free till the 30<sup>th</sup> of June. All you have to do is flash your social media posting at the Customer Service or Concierge to get it!</p>
<p><strong>Netizens love the friendly banter between MGAG and 1 Utama</strong></p>
<p>As how we saw success of meme post boosting promotional value of a place or product such as how everyone&rsquo;s favourite GSC admin and Mydin Twitter admin did, it really does help spread the love in the community.</p>
<p>Check out some of the comments by those on social media:</p>

1 Utama Hits Back At MGAG After Roasting Them For Not Having TnG Parking

<p>Are you really Malaysian if you can&rsquo;t speak multiple languages? Unlike other countries, most Malaysians are bilingual or even trilingual which makes us one of the unique countries out there as we are living in a multiracial &amp; multilingual society.</p>
<p>But what makes us just as unique is how each state has their own dialects which can sometimes confuse most people, even locals.<span style="color: #ff0707;"> <em>Have you tried having a full conversation with a Kelantanese person? Omg I always struggle to understand half the things they are saying.</em></span></p>
<p>The good thing about being able to speak multiple language is that it helps strengthen yourself in the working world and even the talent world.</p>
<p>A grab driver in Sarawak had posted a video on TikTok where he stole the spot light with his &ldquo;ability&rdquo; to speak another language. Typically, we don&rsquo;t see Malays talking in Mandarin or any other Chinese dialects but this got netizens impressed&hellip; and confused.</p>
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@pakwerangers405/video/7113753041467231515" data-video-id="7113753041467231515">

<p>Off the get go, it&rsquo;s impressive that a non-Chinese person can confidently and fluently talk the language but as you can see in the video, even the uncle at the stall was also left in a state of shock when trying to communicate with him. <em>The man was too stunned to speak.</em></p>
<p>One possible reason why most of us wouldn&rsquo;t understand the language is due to the Grab driver speaking in a local dialect which only Sarawakians can understand or is because he really isn&rsquo;t talking in a mandarin?</p>
<p><strong>Not the first time the rider went viral on TikTok</strong></p>
<p>Not too long ago, he had also gone viral when speaking Mandarin while at a motorcycle workshop. Although the Chinese man in the video didn&rsquo;t seem to understand what he&rsquo;s trying to say, his friends definitely had a good laugh as they were amazed at his speaking skills.</p>
<p>In fact, the video actually had 1.7 million views and 148.4K likes on it.</p>

<strong>Do many Malaysians speak a Chinese language?</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>To be fair, most schools in Malaysia teach Mandarin primarily, in comparison to the other Chinese dialects.</p>
<p>In Malaysia, Chinese languages vary from Mandarin to other dialects such as Cantonese, Hakka and Hokkien. These dialects may also further vary upon the state you live in and family upbringings. At the moment, there is around 22.4% of Chinese ethnicity living in Malaysia but it doesn&rsquo;t specificy how many of them could speak which language / dialects as some classify themselves as a &ldquo;banana&rdquo; (unable to speak ANY Chinese language / dialect).</p>

Netizens Stunned At Sarawakian Grab Rider Speaking Mandarin?

<p>If there&rsquo;s one thing many Malaysians love, it&rsquo;s to watch a lot of shows or movies. Most of the time we commonly watch international films mainly western media or even the now trending Korean media.</p>
<p>Recently, a local Malaysian historical movie, Mat Kilau, had released and it now continues to shatter the Malaysian box office records.</p>

<p>The movie was directed by Syamsul Yusof under Studio Kembara and had a RM8 million production value and it shattered records as it&rsquo;s earned RM12.2 million since it was screen on the big screens last Thursday (23 June). On the day of the premier itself, the local film had collected RM1 million!</p>
<p>On the second day (24 June) it collected RM1.8 million and on the third day (25 June) it raked in RM3 million.</p>

<p><strong>Who is Mat Kilau?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656385715/unsigned/bg9yewd4ruplnrny0mga.jpg" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>For those who don&rsquo;t know much about Malaysian history, Mat Kilau is one of the most prominent Malay warriors who stood against British colonialism in Pahang at the end of the 19<sup>th</sup> century.</p>
<p>The British reaped the fruits of Pahang&rsquo;s land belonging to the Malays and interfered in the customs and religion of the locals. The British had also showed arrogance reign supreme in the land and Mat Kilau along side Tok Gajah (Imam Rasu) as well as other Pahang warriors such as Dato&rsquo; Bahaman and Mat Kelubi rose and fought against the colonialist.</p>
<p>Their fight had proven successful as the colonialists suffered pressure and lost.</p>
<p>In 1895, it was reported that he went &ldquo;missing&rdquo; and was allegedly killed on the Kelantan-Siam border. His &ldquo;body&rdquo; was &ldquo;buried&rdquo; in Kampung Bunut Payung, Kota Bharu, Kelantan in 1895 but it was only the beginning before he reappeared on 26 December 1969 in a mosque in Kampung Pulau Tawar, his home town.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0707;"><em>Alright so back to the movie.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em><img src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656385741/unsigned/frqv4jkeunijdfdb6ikk.jpg" /></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film Mat Kilua was starred by Datuk Adi Putra as Mat Kilau Iman Rasu who is the main heroic of the film. The cast was also supported by Wan Hanafi Su as Mat Kilau&rsquo;s father, namely Tok Gajah, Beto Kusyairy (Wahid), Khir Rahman (Usup), Fattah Amin (Awang) and Johan As&rsquo;ari (Yassin).</p>
<p>But wait there&rsquo;s more, the movie is packed with well known names even Datuk Rahim Razali, Namron, Shaharuddin Thamby, Ellie Suriaty, Farah Ahmad and Indonesian actor, Tayan Ruhian as Toga.</p>
<p><strong>Semangat Malaysia at the movies</strong></p>
<p>Remember when Kingsman first came out, how many of you here joined your friends to suit up and just go watch the movie with them? <em>I&rsquo;m not going to lie; I was one of them and it was pretty funny to do so.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Malaysians were spotted going to the cinema wearing traditional Malay clothes such as the tanjak and sampin which was a form of clothing seen commonly dressed during the era of Mat Kilau.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>But due to the tanjak being too tall or large, some couldn&rsquo;t watch the movie properly as it blocked their view. Some even had to ask netizens to put their tanjak down so they can enjoy the movie.</p>
<p>Although it was dubbed by some for people to wear their traditional Malay clothing to the cinema as excessive, the opinion was pretty much divided as it just shows the spirit for the movie. <em>Come on, don&rsquo;t tell me you&rsquo;ve never went to the cinema dressed as someone from the show before or in support of them.</em></p>

"Mat Kilau" Breaks Malaysia’s Blockbusters After Raking In RM12.2 Million Over 4 Days

<p>Throughout the years, Netflix has released a number of successful shows, and it seems like this year is just as jam packed, with new and original series being released nonstop. As on June 24 2022, the first 6 episodes for the South Korean version of the Spanish heist drama was officially released, however with an entirely different storyline.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn1.myc.com.my/image/upload/v1656317966/unsigned/lvnoekd2fatoilc2jsgi.jpg" alt="" width="621" height="1184" /></p>
<p>&lsquo;Money Heist: Korea- Joint Economic Area&rsquo; is an original Netflix series starring actors Yoo Jitae, Park Haesoo, Jeon Jongseo, Lee Hyunwoo, Lee Wonjong and Park Myunghoon. It is set in the same fictional universe as the original Spanish version, however it depicts a completely different narrative, making the series more of a crossover rather than a remake of the popular Spanish drama.</p>
<p>The first title announcement was first released in January 18 2022, with a thrilling video of the criminal mastermind, also known as &ldquo;The Professor&rdquo;, choosing between a variety of disguising masks, in which soon we discover that he will end up choosing the eye-catching Hahoe masks, a representative mask that all Korean citizens know, making it the ultimate mask suited for the project.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe style="width: 631px; height: 354px;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zAawyWwBwGM" width="631" height="354" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Many familiar aspects to the original &lsquo;Money Heist&rsquo; can still be found in the Korean series, as the main plotline still involves a mysterious criminal who recruits a group of thieves to help him rob a bank, however this time, it involves a hostage crisis situation happening in the now unified Korean Peninsula in the year of 2025, specifically in the Mint which is located in the Joint Economic Area (JEA), a &nbsp;common ground for both Korean jurisdictions.</p>
<p>Of course the series also maintained its original &lsquo;Money Heist&rsquo; characters, even going as far as maintaining some of their original physical and personality traits, however there are major evident alterations in the characters&rsquo; backgrounds in order to become more Koreanized.</p>

<p><strong>Experience the &lsquo;Money Heist&rsquo; Themed Escape Room in Bukit Damansara</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #e03e2d;">Yes, you read that right. </span>If you are a big fan of the series, or maybe even wondered how it feels like to be a part of a heist just like the one in the show, well now is your chance to actually experience it in real life.</p>
<p>Guests will then be welcomed into the building with an interactive character display and a suitcase filled with the classic red jumpsuit along its signature mask, in which then you will be briefed and taken through three different rooms, where you will be racing against time (30 minutes) to solve a treasure hunt, hack into the JEA system and solve hard puzzles to complete the game. Upon finishing the hunt, visitors will then gain access to the final vault room, which contains a large bed with abundant cash.</p>
