Malaysia is investigating a claim by a foreign couple who said they have been charged RM120 for a haircut in Kuala Lumpur.
“If the allegation is true, let’s ensure that those involved will be strictly dealt with. Not only did they charge excessively, but such action tarnished Malaysia’s good name,” he told the Malaysian media.The foreign couple are a pair of YouTubers from the United Kingdom known as Zoe and Czar. They recently uploaded a 2.14-minute video on their TikTok account which showed them in a dispute with a barber after being charged RM120 for a haircut.
The couple claimed they overheard another foreigner being charged RM250 by another barber in the same shop.However, the barber insisted they have to fork out the amount because foreigners allegedly have to pay “additional taxes”. Summing up their experience, Zoe said it is unfair to assume foreigners have a lot of money and that “it is OK to charge us that much.”The video has since gone viral, with people saying the couple got scammed. The commentators also claimed the barber is not Malaysian, based on his accent.
