A case of elderly ‘Puan Sri' who is also Datuk Seri felt ‘entitled' to park her car in neighbour's porch
'I AM a Puan Sri! I also (personally) have a Datuk Seri title'.
One wonders if those acquired titles allows a person to behave in a certain manner, including the right to park in a neighbour's porch!
In a video that has been making the rounds on social media courtesy of Penang Indian Networks Facebook page, an elderly lady is seen taking umbrage at being asked to move the vehicle.
While details of the incident remain sketchy, it does highlight a very negative trait among some Malaysians – that of throwing their weight around because they belong to the 'titled' class.
That this matriarch was further flexing her entitled muscle by pulling on her police 'cable' to sort out matters further paints her in an unflattering light.
The video which has since garnered 7.4K likes, 4.9K comments, 1.9K shares and 1.3 million views at the time of writing can be watched here.
Many were unimpressed by the manner in which this lady threw her weight about by claiming she and her husband were titled individuals. That this even came with parking privileges surprised more than a few.
One commenter even applauded this lady's energetic performance in giving an 'ala-TED Talk' lecture!
The cable pulling with the cops also left a bad impression of this aunty who is clearly used to having things her own way even though she claimed 'we're decent people'.
However, a few cautioned that nobody actually knows what sparked the confrontation. There are always two sides to the story.
A few things this video brings up. First and foremost, the act of parking in neighbour's porch is a no-no (not to mention parking in front of someone's main gate).
In Malaysia, parking in a neighbour's porch is generally illegal under the Road Transport Act 1987. Specifically, Section 48(1) states that any driver causing an obstruction or inconvenience to other road users is liable for a fine and/or imprisonment.
Parking in a way that blocks access to a neighbour's property or obstructs the road falls under this category.
Obviously, owning a title does not confer immunity from it.
Secondly, the details of what caused this quarrel is unknown. But this video highlights the need for proper decorum and civility as anything and everything can now be captured on today's smart phone.
Nevertheless, this elderly aunty's boasting of titles and belligerently claiming 'you can be from China, I'm from London' has painted an incredibly poor picture of her regardless of what sparked the confrontation.
'We aren't loafers' she can be heard proclaiming loudly, but this clip has made her look even worse.
Online infamy is surely not what she bargained for. – June 8, 2025
