The practice of eating with one's hands is deeply ingrained in many Asian cultures, not only because it is a part of culture but also because it enhances the taste of the food.

It is essential to respect other cultures and avoid criticizing their practices. In fact, numerous foreigners who visit Malaysia learn how to eat with their hands to experience the culture firsthand. 

Recently, an American woman attracted criticism from netizens after filming a stranger in an airport without consent and posting a video on social media, labelling her eating habits as "nasty." 

The woman displayed closed-mindedness and expressed discomfort with the woman's hygiene practices while eating with her hands. However, many netizens were outraged by her harsh criticism, as they are aware that this is a common practice in many cultures.
