PETALING JAYA: A heated argument over parking ended in a female security guard slapping a middle-aged woman at a condominium lobby in Kajang.
The three-minute video showed a woman, her husband and a security guard shouting at each other over a parking spot.
According to the Facebook post, the woman parked her car at a no-parking area and ran over a safety cone.
“This is not management parking,” shouted the woman repeatedly, while raising her hand at the guard.
The argument then turned violent when the woman tried to slap the guard, but missed.
The guard retaliated with a sharp slap across the woman’s face. She then grabbed a baton and shouted at the woman.
The woman is next seen trying to lunge at the guard. She was, however, blocked by her husband who then at the guard: “As a security guard, you want to hit people?”
Bystanders attempted to diffuse the situation.
The video was posted on Wartawan Jalanan's Facebook page, and has since gone viral with over 4,000 views.
“I support the guard. She was just doing her job. The Chinese woman was the one not following the rules,” commented Facebook user Ana Dan Lee.
Another commenter Cheah Sin Chong said that we should not judge the people in the video because we do not know the whole story.
“It is very difficult to say who is right or wrong. On the surface, it looks like the shouting woman is wrong because she attempted to hit the guard first,” said Cheah.
“Then again the ‘no parking’ sign could have been unjustly placed and irritated this woman who could be a resident,” he said.
