PETALING JAYA: Malaysians have taken to Facebook to question Singapore's move to push its hawker culture on Unesco's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

These Malaysians include Facebook user Sarimah Samad-Imran, who questioned if Singapore would stop at claiming "nasi lemak and curry laksa as their own".
