M’sian Influencer Responds to Claim That He Raised Doughnut Prices to RM25 Due to Oil Price Hike

A Malaysian influencer woke up to a defamatory post claiming that he had increased the price of his dessert to RM25, prompting him to break his silence on the matter.

The influencer, Faiz Soul, previously gained public attention after selling a doughnut topped with cheddar cheese and drizzled with caramel sauce for RM10 each. Despite public criticism, Faiz claimed that crowds continued to queue at his stall to try the dessert.

“Why me? Is it because I trend easily?”

In a Threads post shared on Saturday (11 April), Faiz responded to the inaccurate claims, slamming the page for creating a defamatory post purely to gain views and engagement.

Faiz also questioned why he was being targeted, saying:

“I have never increased my doughnut price to RM25. I haven’t been selling it since the end of Ramadan. I won’t forgive this,” Faiz remarked in his response.
