Over the Christmas weekend, a video went viral, showcasing an ambulance having to give way to a VIP convoy escorted by PDRM vehicles.
Now, another incident has arose!
The 5zonesmy TikTok page recently shared how yet another ambulance had to give way to a VIP convoy on a highway, where the ambulance can be seen stuck in traffic waiting for the convoy to pass.
They wrote, “VIP Government Car vs Ambulance!” while in the video, the driver recording the incident can be heard saying, “MP blocking ambulance again. P*k*m*k, MP blocking ambulance again! What the f*ck!”
It is unsure as to who the convoy was transporting or where exactly the incident took place, though it is rumoured to have happened on the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Express Highway.
Malaysians are pissed!
Malaysians have since taken to the comment section of the TikTok post to share their disdain over the treatment of VIPs.
“Malaysia nowadays. Ministers first, the people later.”
“VVIPs are more important than the public. Malaysia 2022.”
One netizen decided to tag a traffic police outrider in the post, who then shared that he had no comment over the incident as he wasn’t there. But, he did condemn the person recording the incident for his use of foul language and using his phone while he drove.
“How about a case like this? Pity”, the netizen had asked the officer.
“No comment. I was not at the location and do not know the real situation. The one recording is wrong too, with his bad language and using his hand-phone while driving”, the officer shared.
This is further adding to the tension caused by the huge treatment gap between VIPs and the people. Ambulances and other emergency medical vehicles should always have priority of way.
The local authorities have yet to release any statements in regards to this.
