This paper took a case study approach to understand the reasons behind this issue within the context of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia using document analysis and semi structured interviews. The findings suggest that high quality ride experience that ride- sharing services such as Uber offer have caused much disruption to traditional taxi drivers’ livelihood. Hence, government assistance to improve traditional taxi service is essential to help their continued survival.

The study sample consisted of 36 undergraduate Hospitality students enrolled in a culinary course. Sixteen students in the experimental group and 20 students in the control group were exposed to video and live streaming demonstrations, respectively. Both groups were tested about the same target content, ‘Understanding Vegetables and Basic Cuttings’. Students’ performance grades were computed and analyzed to compare students’ learning outcomes between the two groups. Students’ perceptions were assessed based on their opinions of instruction, their self-reported level of understanding of vegetables and basic cuttings, and their level of satisfaction. Results of independent samples t-tests showed; students in the experimental group had a significantly higher performance score and express positive perceptions of the instruction than the students in the control group.
