The Johor Bahru Magistrate Court granted a police application for the Singaporean to be detained for mischief, damage of property and utterance of insult until June 12 to assist with investigations. Facebook user Vicky Sing, who said she was the girlfriend of the Malaysian driver, posted videos and photos of the incident on June 7. One of the videos shows the Singaporean man kicking the car. On June 9, she shared an Oct 6, 2023, post by another Facebook user Tok Zhi Wei of the driver of the same Singapore-registered Toyota Altis kicking another car.
