Allegedly cut lanes

She alleged that the MPV had been cutting into the long queues at the congested road heading towards the checkpoint, and she further alleged that the MPV had tried to cut into their lane.
She added that she then examined the alleged scratches on her car and was going to “let it go” at the damage was minimal.
She then alleged that the MPV driver then stopped his car and approached her son and hurled vulgarities at him, and allegedly challenged her son to fight him one on one.
Wanted to “protect” her son

She was seen in the videos talking to a man beside the Kia as she filmed him with her mobile phone, and she alleged that the driver refused to communicate properly with her and returned to his car.
She then decided to block his MPV with her body, and that she didn’t expect the driver to continue driving while she was in front of the car.
She shared that her thighs were scratched by the MPV’s license plate and she then turned around to rip it off and threw it at the MPV’s windscreen as she was enraged.
Doesn’t care about what netizens say about her

She said that his classmates and teachers at school recognised him from the video, and that she regrets putting him through this stress.
Making her own police report
The woman said that she is aware of the Malaysian investigating the incident.

Legal action
