Despite the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex up ahead having public toilets, two men were caught on camera peeing under a tree, in plain sight of all the nearby buses. The men reportedly drove a Singapore-registered car at the Malaysian-Singapore border at around 11:10 am on June 11.
A photo of the incident was uploaded by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante – SGRV, showing two men standing beside each other under a tree. There was a row of buses on the road in front of them. “Please at least do it facing the bushes and not in front of all the buses. Also, do note there are public toilets in the immigration buildings,” the caption added. Malaysian news site Free Malaysia Today reported on June 14 that Malaysian police were trying to identify the two men.
Under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act, their behaviour carries a fine of RM100 (S$31.47).
“The distance between the location in the picture to the closest public toilet is about 1km. If vehicle owners were to park their cars at the roadside and walk to the toilet, it would worsen the congestion,” said Iskandar Puteri district police chief Rahmat Ariffin.
He noted that surveillance would be conducted to deter similar incidents from happening.
On April 5 this year, a closed-circuit television camera also caught another driver from Singapore presumably peeing by the kerb beside his parked BMW.
“Are we submitting nominations for 2022 clown of the year yet? If so, I’m submitting him,” a netizen commented on the video. /TISG
