As a lot of you would’ve known by now, popular foodie Khairulaming has been on a roll with his online business selling his recipe “Sambal Nyet Berapi”.
That being said, Khairulaming (full name Khairul Amin ) also couldn’t avoid himself from experiencing the wrath of those who aren’t really keen with his successful business venture. Worse, some even went as far as throwing unnecessary shade towards the local influencer-turn-entrepreneur in public!
As seen in the Twitter post (which has received over 8.9K retweets at the time of writing) shared by user tyra (@tyraspberries), an online seller on Shopee could be seen venting their frustration after seeing Khairulaming’s business doing so well as compared to theirs. It is said that the merchant is also selling the same exact product.
On top of that, the Shopee seller also appeared to question his credibility as an ‘artist’ in conducting businesses online. To quote the seller, “Khairulaming is just lucky because he’s famous. That’s why his sambal is always well-received by the public.” The Shopee merchant’s complaint, however, ended up eliciting criticism from many netizens on social media.

Amidst the mounting backlash, an individual claiming to be a “friend, partner and company secretary” to Khairulaming came forth to offer his response to the aforesaid seller’s statement. “I have no comment regarding the claims made by them,” the Twitter user, Fadhilat (@thekittycoach) opened his tweet.
“My advice is, learn to conduct business properly. It’s not like, ‘If I start today, it will do well on that day itself. No, that’s not the case. Business is a process. If you don’t know, you can learn. But if you’re lazy, you should take the initiative to be more diligent instead of taking the shortcut,” Fadhilat added.
“Every success requires effort,” he continued in another thread. “Nowadays, everyone wants it fast. You can’t start like that. You must start from the bottom. It’s okay if you haven’t found success yet. Sometimes, we will come across various other things along the way. So please don’t give up. If you feel like you’re not good, please learn the basics of entrepreneurship.”
So please jgn cepat give up. Kalau tak pandai, tolong belajar. Belajar apa? Belajar basic perniagaan.
