A video showing a heated altercation among workers right outside a mamak has recently gone viral on the internet, sparking widespread attention and curiosity.
The video, originally posted on XiaoHongShu, captures a chaotic scene at a mamak located in Kampar, Perak. In the footage, several workers can be seen quarreling and pushing each other, escalating quickly into a physical fight. One worker is seen hitting another in the face, prompting a retaliatory attempt, while a man in white tries to join the fray. As the altercation intensifies, a customer seated nearby is forced to stand up and move out of the way to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
The brawl, however, is short-lived as another worker intervenes forcefully, grabbing the combatants by the collar to separate them. Throughout the scuffle, the workers can be heard shouting in Tamil, adding to the frenzied atmosphere. Even after the fight is broken up, some workers continue to shout intermittently, indicating lingering tensions.
Despite the turmoil, the person who posted the video shared an unexpected twist: the workers involved in the altercation still managed to serve him politely when he went to pay for his meal. This act of professionalism, despite the chaotic scene, adds a surprising layer to the incident.
The poster also noted that he was unsure of the fight's cause, as he could not understand Tamil. However, it was mentioned that the altercation started inside the mamak before spilling outside, suggesting that tensions had been brewing for a while.
As the video circulates widely, it has prompted various reactions from netizens, ranging from shock and amusement to concern. The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of human interactions and the potential for conflict in even the most routine of settings.
