The now-infamous incident of road rage at Tuas Second Link took over the headlines in recent times, with the woman being seen ripping out the license plate of an MPV, followed by allegations by both parties and police reports being lodged.
The son of the MPV driver, 25-year-old Muhammad Haziq, first shared the videos of the incident onto Facebook.
He was not present inside the MPV at the time of the incident.
He spoke to Straits Times that his intention of posting the dashcam videos online was to reach out to the woman from the red Kia to reach an amicable resolution.
He added that the way is being treated is “unfair to her” and that he would “appreciate it if people stop posting up her pictures.”
The police also confirmed that a police report has been lodged for doxxing.
Haziq said that he wanted the woman to step forward and settle the issue, and added that his father “just wants to get his car fixed and claim for the damage that the woman has caused.”
Driver’s POV
Haziq recounted his father’s point of view from the incident, saying that he was driving at the time and saw a gap on the right lane during the traffic jam towards Johor.
His father wanted to switch lanes and flashed his signal before moving into the gap, and the red Kia then drove forward into the gap, resulting in both cars coming into contact.
He added that his father had let the red Kia through before getting out of his car to speak to the inhabitants of the other vehicle to settle the issue of damages being incurred.
Haziq added that the driver of the red Kia, now revealed to be the woman’s son, had allegedly refused to get out of his car and also allegedly used vulgar hand signs to provoke his (Haziq’s) father.
His father then returned to his vehicle feeling like there was nothing else he could do and had intended to make a police report in both Singapore and Johor.
The woman then proceeded to stand in front of his father’s car and the rest, as they say, is now etched permanently in social media history.
