The Queue Cutting Controversy Unveiled
A Vexing Encounter
It all began when a frustrated commuter aired their grievances on Facebook. The situation revolved around a man who boldly cut the line at a JB checkpoint, inciting the ire of those waiting behind him.
In a video and a photo shared on Facebook that depicted a man wearing a white button up shirt discreetly maneuvering through the steel barricades to unite with a woman wearing a brown shirt, already positioned ahead in the queue.
As he handed her a plastic bag, it became evident that the two knew each other, and the incident ignited debate among netizens who discussed if what the man did was wrong – some slammed him for cutting the queue while others said it was okay since he was joining a friend/girlfriend/wife.
Netizens’ comments

- If couple still ok mah. The husband or boyfriend goes to the toilet for a while.
- I think it’s perfectly okay since he was joining up with his girlfriend, some more it’s only one person so what exactly is the issue here?
- Cut q is cut q, other people q so long just to have this guy go all the way to the front, don’t come and tell me boyfriend or friend join back the q
- Eh what you complaining about, if you q with your parents and they suddenly need to go toilet, you expect them to go all the way to the back and re-queue while you still in front meh
