A Malaysian driver is under heavy criticism after a video of an alleged toll evasion incident went viral, sparking widespread anger among netizens. The video, which was captured by another driver'sViral Video Sparks Outrage: Car with OKU Sticker Caught in Alleged Toll Evasion at Pantai Dalam rearview camera, was shared on a Facebook page on August 14th, quickly garnering attention and backlash.
The footage shows a car tailgating another vehicle as they approach a toll booth located in Pantai Dalam. As the first driver passes through the toll barrier, the second car, following closely behind, accelerates just before the barrier lowers. The maneuver appears to be an attempt to avoid paying the toll fee.
The situation escalates as the second car, traveling at a high speed and in close proximity to the first vehicle, briefly loses control. However, the driver quickly regains control and speeds away without stopping.
What has further fueled the controversy is the fact that the tailgating vehicle prominently displayed an OKU (Orang Kurang Upaya) sticker on its windshield, indicating that the driver or a passenger has a disability. The sight of the OKU sticker sparked a heated debate among netizens, many of whom expressed their dismay and anger in the comments section.
Social media users were quick to voice their opinions, with some questioning the ethics of the driver's actions, while others expressed disappointment at what they viewed as a misuse of the OKU designation. Comments ranged from calls for stricter enforcement at toll booths to discussions on the implications of such behavior on the reputation of the OKU community.
As the video continues to circulate online, the incident has drawn attention to the need for accountability and responsible behavior on the road. The authorities have yet to respond to the incident, but netizens are demanding action to be taken against the driver involved.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of abiding by road rules and respecting the systems in place, regardless of the circumstances.
