After woman in viral road rage allegedly gets doxxed; man who posted the videos appeals to netizens to stop harassing her

Videos of the road rage number plate-throwing incident from Saturday (July 9) went viral, and not only did it give rise to some humorous memes, but they also caused some of those involved to allegedly become victims of doxxing.

The police told The Straits Times that a report has been filed over the reported doxxing. Doxxing occurs when people “search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent.”

Information and photos about the woman who bodily blocked a black Toyota Alphard removed its number plate, and threw it at the windscreen in rage after her red Kia was scraped, have since been shared after the incident.

The man who posted the videos on social media has appealed to netizens to stop doxxing the woman and her male companion, who had been driving the red Kia.

Individuals convicted of sharing identifiable information about a person with the intention to harass, cause violence or fear of violence to them may be given a $5,000 fine or receive a jail sentence of as long as one year.

The video of the incident, which took place amid heavy traffic at Second Link between Singapore and Malaysia, was posted on the Facebook pages of SG Road Vigilante – SGRV and Complaint Singapore.

It shows the woman singlehandedly blocking a vehicle with her body and succeeding in detaching the vehicle’s number plate before throwing it at the windscreen.

The Straits Times reported on July 10 that the woman was wanted by the Malaysian police for committing mischief.

The man who shared the videos online is Mr Muhammed Haziq, 25. His family was in the black Toyota that the woman tried to stop and threw the number plate at, although he was not with them.

He is now saying he feels sorry for the woman and her family and has appealed to others to stop sharing information about them.

Mr Muhammad is quoted in ST as saying,”We are unsure if that is really the woman and if the man is her husband. My family doesn’t know if we want to believe what is online.

But if it is her, I believe that the way she is being treated is unfair to her. I would appreciate if people stop putting up her pictures.”

He added that he had shared the videos to get the woman to come forward and settle the issue, adding, “My father just wants to get his car fixed and wants to claim for the damage that the woman has caused.” /TISG
