A heated domestic dispute has gone viral in Malaysia after a man was caught insulting his wife, allegedly calling her a “beggar” while boasting that the chicken he bought for RM350 (about S$100) was “better” than her. The incident, which surfaced on social media, has triggered an outpouring of angry comments from netizens who condemned the man’s words and behaviour.
According to online discussions, the man reportedly compared his wife to the expensive “chicken” he had purchased, sparking disbelief among many who criticised his arrogance and disrespect. Some social media users mocked him with chicken emojis, while others blasted his treatment of his wife as heartless and degrading.
Netizens React Strongly
On Facebook, many comments called the man “inhuman” and “shameful,” with some saying his wife should leave him immediately. Others went further, cursing him with misfortune, accusing him of being violent and insensitive, and warning that such behaviour shows he has no respect for his partner.
One commenter wrote that a husband who treats his wife this way is “not worth holding on to,” while another remarked that it was the wife’s greatest misfortune to have married such a man. Several users also mocked him for flaunting money on a chicken while failing to show basic compassion at home.
Family Disputes and Social Media Backlash
Domestic quarrels are nothing new online, but this case has gained attention because of the unusual comparison involving an RM350 chicken. Many netizens pointed out that money and material possessions should never be used to belittle a spouse. Instead of boasting about wealth, they said, mutual respect and communication are the real foundations of a marriage.
The heated discussion reflects a growing trend where private family conflicts are exposed and amplified on social media, often resulting in public shaming. In this case, the man has been labelled by many as an irresponsible husband who humiliates his wife in the most unnecessary way.
