Fined

The TikTok user refused to provide more information about the incident and claimed she had no intention of blowing it up online, according to The Star.

But KLIA district police chief Imran Abd Rahman said the traveller was slapped with a RM100 (S$30.47) fine and charged with behaving inappropriately.

The police chief said the woman made a scene after she went into the airplane and then claimed that she had left some of her stuff and demanded to go out, but she was not allowed to do so.

He added: “She was arrested and we charged her for behaving indecently and she was fined RM100.”

Reactions

Reactions to the video panned the woman's antics, with many commenters calling her “Karen”.

The term "Karen" is a slang to label a self-entitled person.
