Coitus In Melaka Disrupted Datuk Claims Hotel Staff Barged In Mid Act Sparks Online Frenzy

---

 
A REVIEW on travel site TripAdvisor about a recent chaotic hotel stay in Melaka has gone viral for one particular reason: the guest – one self-professed Datuk Paduka Ahmad Faizal – claimed a staff member walked in on him while he was in the middle of an intimate moment with his wife.
He claimed to have stayed in the hotel between June 10 and 12.
The eye-catching line in his review – “a staff member intruded into my room while my wife and I were engaged in sex*al interc*urse” – has since become a talking point across social media and local forums.

Entitled “DO NOT TRUST THE HOTEL”, the review appeared to be a full-blown complaint addressed to the hotel’s general manager.
It went on to document a series of grievances: excessive early check-in charges, faulty HDMI ports, failed water heaters, missing cutlery, a delayed GrabFood delivery and a missed Zoom call at 3am due to technical issues.
But it’s the alleged coital intrusion that sent the post into viral territory.
“Significant mental distress” was how Ahmad put it – and the internet took it from there.
On Lowyat.NET, Malaysia’s largest tech forum, members had a field day dissecting the review. One commenter, vhs, wondered if the disgruntled guest has put up the “Do Not Disturb” sign outside lest it would be his “sendiri salah” (literally “own fault”) that the hotel staff barged in at that prohibited moment.

Another user, “biggie”, came to the hotel’s defence because “in my experience, the cleaner or any hotel staff will ketuk (knock) first before entering. But may be the Datuk is too busy to hear the knock”.

Photos of hotel door locks and snarky references to HDMI cables became recurring themes with one user sharing a picture of a door latch captioned, “This RM2.80 hardware could’ve saved your dignity”. (Editor’s Note: This cheeky comment has been taken down but below are related comments.)


Despite the jokes, some netizens did express genuine concern over the breach of privacy, noting that such incidents, if true, are unacceptable under any hospitality standard.

Ahmad, for his part, ended his review by demanding a formal response and compensation, citing the impact on his work, health and mental well-being. So far, the hotel has not publicly responded.
In the age of online reviews and screenshot virality, this incident is a reminder of two things: (i) hotel guests expect privacy; and (ii) Malaysians will absolutely turn anything into a meme — especially when “coitus” is involved. –  Focus Malaysia
