There is a part of the article which has this sentence: "The origin of Milo Dinasour (sic) is in Malaysia." It should be removed due to its unnecessary slant and the lack of impartiality.
Due to the fact that it is not spelt correctly as well, it's most likely missed vandalism. The origins of the drink was never properly documented, and for sources that exists, its origins are ambiguous and disputed, with mentions of Singaporean restaurants, or maybe Malaysian stalls of a supposed "Milo shake".[1]
Other sources already present in the article has also noted this. The next sentence mentioning about it being the "shared legacy" of both countries also seems to be contradictions that was added after. This can be proven when this article made the front page of this website as a DYK way back in June 2013, explicitly stating Singapore.
It's also worth mentioning that the "Milo" brand originated in Australia, which is not reflected at all in the article. It remains to be seen that making a drink like this due to its simplicity can be found in many countries in Southeast Asia as well as the brand's country of origin, with no specifics to one particular country. 124.13.203.213 (talk) 11:59, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Partly done: I did some CE to that section. The source used explicitly states that it's likely no one will ever know the exact origin of the drink. I left out the Australia information due to lack of sourcing. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:25, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
