A Singapore-registered car involved in a hit-and-run accident in Johor Bahru sparked outrage on social media.
A Singapore-registered car drove off after colliding with a motorcycle in Johor Bahru on December 29. Dashcam footage of the incident shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a white sedan switching lanes to head in the direction of the Causeway towards Woodlands at 5.39pm. It knocks over a motorcycle and briefly stops ahead of the bike but drives off once the motorcyclist gets back up.
The car, however, gets stuck in traffic, which allows a policeman to reach it on foot just two minutes after the collision. Some Malaysian netizens were enraged by the incident, accusing Singaporeans of being disrespectful while in other countries. One X user tagged Singapore's police, government agencies and even Singapore Airlines to complain: 'The country is rich but poor in manners.' On Facebook, Singaporeans were also annoyed by the driver's behaviour, commenting that the latter was a 'disgrace' and giving them a bad name in Malaysia. 'So many pair of eyes still can run. I fear to think what would happen if the motorcyclist was alone at night,' one comment read
