Just like any other country, Malaysia has thieves on the road that either snatch things from unsuspecting pedestrians or smash windows of parked cars to steal things inside the vehicle.
With that being said, do you think Malaysians thieves could purposefully be targeting Singaporean vehicles? And if yes, why?
The SG Kaypoh 人！Facebook page recently shared an image of a parked car with a message stuck to their window to tell thieves to not break their windows to steal things as there was nothing inside to steal.
SG Kaypoh 人！wrote, “Singaporean vehicles need this when entering Malaysia.”
In the image showcased, the owner of the vehicle stuck a note on their window that said:
“Please do not break my window AGAIN. This car has already been broken into, there is nothing to steal.”
This image is for illustration purposes only.
The AGAIN clearly indicates that the vehicle owner has experienced a vehicle break in in the past and hopes that it won’t happen a second time, as they would once again have to repair their broken window and replace whatever had been stolen.
Malaysians were not happy by how the Singaporean page basically generalised Malaysians as thieves by stating that Singaporeans need to follow suit when entering our country.
They mainly compared this situation with how Singaporean often ‘steal’ Malaysia’s RON 95 petrol.
While it is understandable for the car’s owner to place the note based on their past experience, it is also understandable for Malaysians to feel angered over being generalised as thieves when Singaporeans often visit Malaysia for their own benefits.
Though, we highly discourage Malaysians from fighting fire with fire, or in this case breaking Singaporean car windows over the RON95 petrol issue.
What do you think about this? Do feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.
