Pakcik in S'pore goes hangry ballistic after being called out for parking car in m'cycle lots

Hangry or triggered?

If someone told you that you're parked in the wrong lot, how would you react?

One pakcik driver decided that being extremely angry was the choice response.

In a video uploaded by Amanda Lu to Roads.sg, Lu said that the pakcik "claimed that he was late for prayers and then proceeded to shout as if he was not in the wrong".

He then continued shouting at the woman's husband, claiming that he was old enough to be his father.

In the video, the pakcik said he was angry and shouting because Lu husband's was initially rude to him.

The pakcik also challenged Lu's husband to call the police, and Lu's husband obliged.

The pakcik also kept asking Lu's husband: "Is it your problem?"

The pakcik said that it was his "problem" that he parked where he parked and that it was "my problem that I get summoned, not you!"

Hangry?

But perhaps the issue was with Lu's husband drinking a can of Red Bull as he spoke to the pakcik, in the video the pakcik could be heard saying, while looking at the drink:  "I didn't know whether you are Malay or Muslim but have some respect, people fasting! Fasting month! Understand or not?"

To which Lu's husband replied: "Then you don't have to look at me drinking."

The pakcik's vehicle was subsequently driven away.

Here's the video (the original on Roads.sg was taken down):

 

Split reactions

Responses to the video were mixed, with many people called out the pakcik's behaviour:

While others pointed out that the video and Lu's claims may be just one side of the story and something may have triggered the pakcik:
