Local actor Shaun Chen has taken to social media to question the behaviour of a Grab delivery rider after the motorcyclist was allegedly caught making an obscene hand gesture towards him.
The 48-year-old actor uploaded a dashcam recording and two photographs of the incident to his Instagram account on Nov 12, expressing his displeasure over the rider’s actions.
In his post, Chen questioned whether such behaviour had become normal, asking: “Why so rude? Is it normal to point middle finger like that?”
He also tagged Grab’s official Instagram account, seemingly drawing the company’s attention to the incident.
Dashcam Footage Shows Rider Making Obscene Gesture
The video shared by Chen showed his car stationary at the side of a road, apparently within an HDB residential estate.
A Grab delivery rider on a motorcycle subsequently passed his vehicle and appeared to raise his middle finger towards the actor.
The recording did not reveal what had happened before the gesture or whether there had been an earlier disagreement between the two.
Chen also uploaded two additional photographs alongside the video. One showed the motorcycle’s registration plate, while another captured the rider making the hand gesture.
However, no further details were provided about the circumstances leading to the encounter.
Grab Says It Is Looking Into The Incident
The incident has since attracted attention, with Grab confirming that it was aware of the video circulating online.
In response to media queries, a Grab spokesperson said the company was looking into the matter.
The spokesperson added that road safety and mutual respect were important values for the platform.
Grab also said it expected its delivery partners to comply with its code of conduct and would take appropriate action where necessary.
It remains unclear whether the company has identified the rider or what action, if any, will follow its investigation.
Chen has not publicly provided further details about what happened before or after the encounter.
