A restaurant in Melaka has been feeling the collective wrath of social media users for an unsanitary practice, which was caught on video and uploaded to Facebook by Anjali Ragu on Wednesday, 27 June. 

Anjali and her husband had spotted crows hovering over cooked chicken meat hung near the rooftop of the food outlet.
