Son of Alphard Driver Says Woman Being Doxxed Online is Unfair to Her

If you’ve been on the Internet, you might already know the identity of the woman in the red Kia Cerato.

Or maybe you didn’t because you’re one who doesn’t believe everything you see on the Internet.

But you can’t deny that the Internet is a scary world: once you’re “marked”, netizens would become forensic experts and dig out every detail about you, even when all they have is an image of you smiling.

And that’s what happened to the woman.

Woman is Being Doxxed Online

In the last few days, some netizens have been busy: with just a video, they managed to figure out the identity of the woman in the road rage saga.

I guess the Malaysian police must be impressed #justsaying

Soon after, they started xenophobic comments online while posting screenshots of her Facebook profile, calling her names and whatnot.

Since then, that doxxed woman, whom might or might not be the woman in the video, has removed her Facebook profile (or set it to private):

A police report has since been made over the alleged doxxing of the woman and her family.

The person who posted the video has since come out to defend her—not her actions on the road, but the unfair treatment she got online.

The son of the Alphard driver, who wasn’t in the car but got hold of the footage and shared it on SG Road Vigilante, has spoken out about the doxxing incident.

The video has since been viewed over 2.3 million times.

He told The Straits Times that he wasn’t even sure if the doxxed woman online is the woman in the road rage incident; and even if it’s indeed her, he believes that she’s being treated online unfairly, and urged people not to put up her pictures online.

People who are found guilty of publishing identifiable information about a person with the intention to harass, cause violence or fear of violence to a person can be jailed for up to a year and fined $5,000.
