A man turned aggressive after a pregnant woman and her husband reprimanded him for smoking at a restaurant in Shah Alam

The complainant, who is an 8-month pregnant woman, reported that while she and her husband were at the restaurant, a local man sitting at a nearby table was smoking a cigarette.

“Investigations found that the complainant, who is pregnant, was unhappy with the act because she was worried that it would affect her health and her pregnancy. Initially, the complainant and her husband asked the restaurant worker to reprimand the suspect, but it was ignored,”

“The complainant’s husband also reprimanded the suspect 3 times, and was also ignored. However, on the 3rd reprimand, the suspect immediately got up and approached the complainant’s table,” he said.

The pregnant woman claimed that the suspect blew cigarette smoke at her, causing her to become angry while her husband tried to defend her. She then tried to record the situation as evidence in case her husband got hurt.
