A video emerged online showing a confrontation between the driver of a red Mercedes and a delivery man.
The incident purportedly happened on 11 February at about 4.39pm, under a shelter at Block 7 Boon Keng Road.
The netizen who took the video, shared it onto Facebook and said:
“No CLASS driving a continental vehicle over a small matter that the delivery man crates of boxes touch the expensive red car! Need an old man on bicycle to separate such a Din even to the extent having his bicycle toppled! His expletives though fluent, is too excessive from a non Chinese guy. Happened 11 Feb 22, 1639hrs. Blk 7, Boon Keng Road (SIC)“
I have no idea what the netizen was trying to say but an educated attempt at understanding the context would be that the delivery man was delivering a crate of goods and the crates had apparently “touched” the Mercedes.
This accidental contact then got under the skin of the Mercedes driver and a confrontation then ensured between both men.
An elderly man who was cycling past then tried to intervene and deescalate the situation and even had his bicycle toppled onto the ground in the process.
The sound quality of the netizen’s video was excruciatingly poor so the only words that I could make out from the argument were a myriad of Hokkien vulgarities and the phrase “f— you lah” being utilised.
The Mercedes driver was seen later in the video getting back into his car and driving away, after showing off his colourful collection of Hokkien expletives.
Netizens’ comments
- Poor but act rich, think he never see really rich ppl before. Why act n bully poor ppl karma will haunt him for sure. We drive Merz 300 Aso humble what is just a C class lowest grade / model of the Merz family
- Please don’t jump to conclusion so fast. I experience 1 delivery guy hit my car with his trolley, when I get down the car 1st thing he do is F me instead of apologise. In this case might be the same too. Thats why the car owner get angry, we are not them. So we just watch and keep quiet better. Don’t judge just because of what car he drive, doesn’t matter the car is half loan,full loan or fully paid, its not related to the incident.
- Probably just a c200 as well.. the lowest class of the merc.
- Money can’t buy class
