Casually removing the boom gate barrier because the driver doesn’t want to pay for parking
At the start of the 23-second video, a man wearing a black shirt can be seen disembarking from the luxury car at the parking facility’s boom gate barrier.
A closer look shows the parking fee for the vehicle was SGD46.21 or approximately RM160.91.
The man then went under the boom gate barrier with a knife while another individual, believed to be the car’s passenger recorded the whole thing.
The driver then used the knife to cut the zip ties used to hold the boom gate in place.
He then casually carries the boom gate to the side and throws it on the ground.
Afterwards, the driver just went back inside his vehicle before driving away.
