Yesterday, a 12-year-old boy had gone viral after he was caught driving his father’s car alone at night in Sibu, Sarawak. A man had confronted the boy and threatened to call the police on him, especially after he had lied and said that he had a driver’s license.
Now, it appears that the boy is still going viral, this time after someone had beaten the boy for remaining stubborn on wanting to drive.
The MALAYSIA MOST VIRAL Twitter page shared footage of this incident, as the boy was confronted by a group of men as he insisted that he wants to drive.
MALAYSIA MOST VIRAL wrote, “I feel satisfied to see the boy getting beaten. He’s so rude at such a young age. Driving a car at 12-years-old, his mother and father are unable to control him.”
In the video, the boy could be seen getting beaten with a cloth (maybe a shirt?) by a man as a group stood around him.
Upon receiving the blows, the boy squatted onto the ground and started screaming before quickly running back into the driver’s side of his father’s car.
The boy continued to throw a screaming tantrum as the group of men confronted the boy, not allowing him to close the car’s door.
“Don’t simply scream! Do you want more? I’m only asking you, what did you tell me just now? You sit in the passenger seat and let your father drive, can or not?” a man asked the boy.
“NO!” the boy shouted, to which he received a slap.
While we feel bad for the boy for getting beaten, it is also very heartbreaking to see how stubborn the young boy is, and it is dangerous to allow him to drive.
