#NSTviral: Viral video shows elderly Malaysian man assaulted by foreign couple
KUALA LUMPUR: A video showing a heated altercation between a foreign couple and an elderly Malaysian man at a convenience store has gone viral on social media.
The 1-minute-22-second clip, shared on Reddit's r/Malaysia, captures the couple arguing with the elderly man at the cashier counter before the confrontation spills outside the store.
The situation escalates when the foreign man is seen pushing the elderly man out of the store, followed by a continued verbal exchange.
In another video, a security guard appears on the scene but fails to break up the brawl.
The altercation intensifies, with both parties seen throwing punches and eventually falling to the ground.
The incident has ignited fierce criticism online, with many calling out the security guard's inaction and questioning the couple's aggressive behaviour.
Reddit user DryImprovement3942 said: "I'm speechless. They must be out of their minds ganging up and fighting an old man.
"Security (guard) is just watching and barely did anything to de-escalate the situation."
GGgarena said: "Send them to detention, charge a high non-refundable fee for bail, including a fine and jail time. Thank me later."
Takagiayaka said: "People nowadays get triggered easily. They need to chill and follow the rules. Just wait in the queue — where are you trying to go so fast?"

Rescued foreigners were promised jobs
GEORGE TOWN: The three foreign men rescued from wrongful confinement during a police raid on an apartment here on Tuesday had been promised employment — but were never given jobs. Northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rozak Muhammad told the New Straits Times that the victims had been held for periods ranging from four months to a year. "Yes, their legs were chained, but not around the clock. There were times when the caretaker removed the chains upon request. "They also remained silent throughout their confinement, which is why neighbours were completely unaware of the situation," he said. Rozak added that one of the men had secretly hidden a mobile phone and managed to contact a relative in Indonesia for help — a move that led to their rescue. He said investigations were ongoing. The victims — aged between 28 and 52 — were found in good health and rescued following a report lodged by a 47-year-old foreigner, who claimed his friends were being held against their will. The raid, conducted on Tuesday, led to the arrest of three Malaysian men aged between 40 and 56, along with a 40-year-old foreign woman believed to have been guarding the victims. Rozak said that two of the suspects were expected to be charged in court tomorrow. Meanwhile, residents at the apartment complex said they were shocked to learn about the incident. Some, who spoke to the NST on condition of anonymity, said they had no idea anyone was being held captive. A resident living a few floors above the unit said there was nothing unusual to indicate something was wrong. "We didn't hear anything suspicious — no shouting or signs of distress. "We only found out what happened when we saw it on social media," he said. Another resident, who lives just a few doors away, said they only realised something was amiss when police officers arrived on Tuesday afternoon.

Singaporean Fined RM9,100 for Road Rage Incident in Johor
PETALING JAYA: A Singaporean citizen has been ordered to pay RM9,100 in fines after appearing before the Johor Bahru Magistrate's court for his involvement in a road rage incident. The defendant, 40-year-old human resources manager Cheng Kuan Poh Colin, faced the court on Thursday (June 12) and entered guilty pleas to both criminal charges brought against him. According to The Star, the first offense involved causing damage to a Malaysian-registered continental vehicle belonging to Ng Yeow Meng. The incident occurred at Jalan Sutera Tanjung 8/4, Taman Sutera Utama, during the afternoon of June 7 at approximately 2.39pm. The second charge related to an act of public indecency, where Cheng was accused of spitting at the 32-year-old victim's face during the same confrontation. During the court proceedings, Magistrate A. Shaarmini ensured the defendant fully comprehended the charges, which were presented to him in Mandarin before he confirmed his guilty plea. Defense counsel Norfarahin Mohd Yazid appealed for reduced penalties, explaining her client's family circumstances. She informed the court that Cheng serves as a caregiver for his elderly, bedridden parents and has no prior criminal record. 'My client's monthly income is S$2,000 (approximately RM6,595) in his role as a human resources manager, and this represents his first encounter with the legal system,' the lawyer argued. The magistrate imposed a RM4,300 fine for the property damage charge, with an alternative sentence of six months imprisonment if unpaid. For the second offense, a RM4,800 fine was ordered, also carrying a six-month jail term in default of payment. Deputy public prosecutor Nur Fatihah Mohd Nizam represented the state in the proceedings. The case stems from events that unfolded earlier this month when Johor Baru North district police chief Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh confirmed the suspect's arrest on Sunday (June 8) for investigation purposes.
