Malaysian police are investigating a viral road-rage incident after a woman was filmed yanking a number plate off a car and hurling it at the vehicle’s windscreen on a bridge linking the country with Singapore.
Footage shared on Facebook of the Saturday incident on Tuas Second Link showed the woman arguing with the driver of a Toyota Alphard, which police said had hit a Kia car while changing lanes.
“The suspect stopped the vehicle, and [an ethnic] Chinese man and woman alighted,” Iskandar Puteri District Police Department in Malaysia’s Johor state said in a statement in Malay on Sunday.
“A male suspect then shouted and gestured vulgarities towards the victim, while the female suspect went on to remove victim’s car plate and threw it on the victim’s windshield.”
Were Mahathir’s remarks about ‘reclaiming’ Singapore aimed at Johor’s sultan?
Dash cam footage from the Toyota posted on Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, showed the car’s driver and the woman in an argument.
When the driver walked away out of shot, the woman stood in front of his car in a bid to prevent the vehicle from moving forward, while also attempting to record photos or videos with her phone.
She was also seen crossing her arms and motioning for other road users to overtake the car.


Another video taken by a passer-by showed the same woman standing in front of the Toyota and leaning against its bonnet as the car attempted to inch forward.
The woman then appeared to pry off the car’s number plate with her hands before throwing it at the windscreen, which it bounced off.
The Toyota driver is then seen stepping out of the car to retrieve the number plate from the ground.
Moments later, a young man wearing a blue shirt bearing the words “Team YIJC” stepped out of a red Kia car, dashed towards the Toyota and flashed his middle finger towards it. The woman then gestured at him to return to the Kia.


As they went back to the Kia, the man waved his backside at the Toyota and smacked it twice before entering the car.
Both cars involved in the incident had Singapore number plates, though the Malaysian authorities did not disclose the nationalities of those involved.
The police said the Toyota driver and passengers did not suffer any injuries and there was little damage to their car.

The incident was being investigated as a suspected case of mischief, police said. Mischief causing damage of more than 25 ringgit (US$5.64) is punishable by up to two years imprisonment and a fine under Malaysia’s Penal Code.
“Road users are advised to drive carefully and not rush, especially on the CIQ Second Link,” the police added.
