Singapore car driver filmed getting into brawl with man at parking lot in JB, Malaysia News
A Singaporean driver was caught on camera getting involved in an altercation with another man at a parking lot in Johor Bahru.
The incident occurred around 4pm at the car park outside Aeon Mall Bukit Indah on Thursday (May 1), China Press reported.
According to China Press, the conflict began when the Singaporean driver of a white Toyota allegedly blocked the road and was honked at by another vehicle. Enraged, he then exited his car and approached the aquamarine-coloured vehicle behind.
A 41-second video clip, which appeared to be filmed by a passenger in the car behind, showed the Singaporean in green pinning another man against the latter's open car door.
After the two men were separated, the Singaporean driver was seen aggressively pointing his finger and yelling at the other man before walking back to his car.
In the original Facebook post, which has been made private, the user appeared to mock the driver, writing: "Singaporeans are more powerful?"
She added that he'd asked the man to "wait for the police to arrive", to which he said it "depends on his mood".
In a media statement on Friday (May 2), the Johor Iskandar Puteri police confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing.
They added that the two men involved in the incident were a 49-year-old Singaporean and a 21-year-old Malaysian.

The police also seized several items, said Johor Bahru North police chief Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh in a June 8 statement. Mr Balveer said a 31-year-old Malaysian man had lodged a police report over the June 7 incident, claiming that on that day, he was honked by a Singapore-registered Toyota Altis car. He said the Singaporean was dissatisfied that the man's BMW had allegedly blocked his path in the Taman Tun Aminah area. 'An argument took place and the suspect allegedly kicked the complainant's car, causing damage. However, the complainant did not suffer any injuries,' he said. Videos of the incident went viral on social media. Mr Balveer said checks on the Singaporean revealed that he has no prior criminal record, and that he tested negative for drugs. The Singaporean will be taken to a court in Johor Bahru on June 9 for a remand application under Section 426 of the Penal Code (for mischief and damage of property) and Section 509 of the Penal Code (utterance of insult).
