'You should upgrade to a Honda Civic' - Woman chides M'sian man for driving 'old junk Kancil'
It started when @alfhql__ posted a photo of himself behind the wheel of his Kancil, only to receive a private message mocking the car.

'Women these days don't go for guys with old cars. You should upgrade to a Honda Civic or something — you're really behind.'

Instead of getting angry, @alfhql__ camly responded, 'I'm sorry. I'm just making use of what I have for now.
'Maybe it's not yet my time to own my dream car like others. I also don't want to trouble anyone.
'I'm just grateful for what I have now. This 'old junk' has served me well, even taking me back and forth to my vocational college in the past.'
The screenshot very quickly went viral, with Malaysian netizens chiding the woman.
'Why are women nowadays so bold to insult like this? And comparing with a Honda? Seriously girl?' one commenter said.
Others applauded the man for revealing his ride openly. 'Good on you, bro, for saying what you drive. It filters out people like that,' said one netizen.
Don't ever lower yourself to her level,' another warned. 'You're lucky to have something that gets you from point A to point B with ease.'

'More Than My Son's School Fees' – Woman Pays RM1,420 For Perodua Axia ABS Repair
Subscribe to our FREE A Malaysian woman has started a heated online debate after revealing she paid a staggering RM1,420 to replace a second-hand ABS pump in her Perodua Axia, lamenting that the repair cost 'more than her son's school fees.' The car owner, who admitted she lacks knowledge about automotive pricing, shared her experience on Facebook after taking her vehicle to a workshop for anti-lock braking system (ABS) repairs. What she initially expected to be a modest repair bill turned into a financial shock when presented with the final invoice. According to the repair receipt, the total breakdown of RM1,420 included a new master cylinder pump for RM360, brake oil for RM60, and a used ABS pump priced at RM1,000. The workshop provided a two-week warranty for the used ABS pump. Fair Deal or Overpriced? Public Can't Agree The woman revealed that a brand new ABS pump would have cost RM1,600, making the second-hand option appear more reasonable by comparison. However, this revelation has divided the public into two camps. Critics argue she was clearly overcharged, with one commenter pointing out that 'just looking at the brake oil price, you know they ripped you off – brake oil has a standard market rate.' Others suggested the RM1,000 charge likely included labour costs, noting that 'a new one costs around RM1,000, used ones should be half price, so your RM1,000 probably includes the installation fee.' Supporters of the pricing defended the workshop, arguing that original parts are inherently expensive and the charges reflect current market rates. How to Protect Yourself from High Repair Bills Some advised future customers to 'ask for quotes from other workshops first before agreeing to any work' and emphasised that 'safety comes first, money can always be earned back.' The incident highlights a common dilemma faced by Malaysian motorists – the challenge of determining fair pricing for automotive repairs, especially when lacking technical knowledge. Car repair costs vary significantly based on vehicle brand, model, condition, repair complexity, and whether original or aftermarket parts are used. The woman's experience is a cautionary tale for vehicle owners to seek multiple quotes and understand pricing structures before authorising expensive repairs, particularly for critical safety systems like ABS. It's always best to repair at authorised or official service centres to ensure genuine parts and transparent pricing. Ang kena scam dah ni. Ampa tau dak perodua and other car brand ada website boleh cek berapa harga service. — 🔺meingl🔻 (@meinmokhtar) READ MORE : READ MORE : READ MORE : Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .
