MUMBAI (Reuters) - The proportion of workers who expect to switch employers in the next 12 months is higher than that from the 'Great Resignation' period of 2022, a PwC survey of the global workforce found.

ICE balls, made from fine ice shavings crafted into a ball, were popular in Malaya during the 1950s and 1960s. They provided a sweet and cooling treat in the tropical heat.

They were sold by mobile pushcart vendors who moved from one location to another throughout the day and could be commonly found near markets, schools and other busy public places. These ice balls were then drizzled with colourful syrups, such as rose, sarsaparilla, and pandan, making them visually appealing and delicious.

Ice balls were eaten with bare hands, making them both fun and messy. They were more than just a treat; they created a social experience.However, with the advent of ice-based desserts like ice kacang and the availability of home refrigerators, the popularity of traditional ice balls waned by the late 1970s.
