When in Rome, do as the Romans do, but when in Malaysia, don’t do what the Malaysians do. This is the advice that anyone who heads up north to Malaysia regularly would know, but two Singaporeans didn’t get the memo.
And now, the Malaysian police are looking for them.
Well, at least the Interpol aren’t involved (yet).
Here’s what happened.
M’sian Police Now Looking for the 2 S’poreans Who Argued About Pumping RON95 in Johor
A video of an altercation that happened on 16 June 2023 at a petrol station in Sunway Iskandar township in Johor has recently gone viral.
It shows two men from Singapore getting into a heated argument with a GrabFood rider. The two men were agitated after the Malaysia GrabFood rider accused them of pumping RON95, which is only for Malaysia vehicles.
It got so bad that the police had to intervene.
The Singapore men claimed they hadn’t pumped the petrol into their Singapore vehicle; instead, it was for go-karts.
Soon after that, the GrabFood rider’s GrabFood account was suspended, leading to Malaysians threatening to ban the app altogether. Grab later clarified that they were merely investigating the case, and has since reinstated the rider’s account.
The story should have ended here, and everyone lives happily ever.
Apparently not.
Iskandar Puteri police chief Rahmat Ariffin announced in an update on Facebook that they’re now investigating the viral altercation under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
According to the Malaysia Penal Code, if found guilty, the men could face imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years or with fine, or with both.
They’ve identified the two men as Singaporeans, and they’re now trying to locate them with the help of the Singapore police.
According to the update, the two Singaporeans were also apparently unhappy that the GrabFood rider had taken too long to fill up his motorcycle.
Eh?
They then urged the public not to make any speculations, and if they have any information, they should contact the police.
According to The Straits Times, as of Friday (23 June), the Singapore Police Force (SPF) haven’t received any request from the Iskandar Puteri police.
