Happened at the Yayasan underground parking lot. A friend of mine was with her husband in their car searching for parking. It was a fairly busy day with cars lined up to enter and leave the parking lot. At one moment, there was another car (person A), which was rushing to get out. Then there was another car behind A (car B).
As my friend was giving way for the cars to pass her, she waved her hand signaling the other cars to pass her. Suddenly the person at car B ran amok. In car B was a man, his wife and his children. So my friend asked the guy what the problem was. The guy replied that he thought the way my friend signaled was rude.
The guy made a turnaround and stopped his car in front of my friend's car. He went out and approached my friend's car. He looked fierce. My friend was alarmed and frightened, my friend's husband came out of the car to face the angry guy. Face to face, my friend's husband was much taller than the guy.
All of a sudden the angry guy shouted asking why the husband was approaching him. Much to his bravery to approach my friend's car, he was shaken facing my friend's husband. At the same time, my friend, seeing the angry guy together with his wife making threats, alerted the security guard. She said that a Malay guy was making problems. The guy probably heard the conversation and shouted "awueh Melayu Islam Beraja!" (yes a Malay, Muslim and under a Monarch)
The angry guy teased my friend's husband saying he should be ashamed having a wife like that. My friend's husband replied why should his wife be ashamed of asking for help when they are threatened like that. Then he added "its u who should be ashamed, claiming you are a Melayu Islam Beraja, yet acting embarrassingly in front of your own children."
The security guard came and try to handle the situation nicely. After a period of calm was shown, the matter seemed solved. The security warned the angry guy not to tail my friend of start the argument outside again. Feeling that the matter was solved, my friend found a parking space and parked and went shopping.
Little do they know that when they return to their car, the angry guy had parked their car behind my friend's car, waiting for her. So another round of argument broke out, luckily just involving verbal abuses. My friend threatened to make a police report if the angry guy would not stop and go. Obviously, the guy had misunderstood my friend's intention of letting him pass his car earlier as a rude act.
My friend explained that she let him pass because car A was in a rush to go out. As she said this, the angry guy's wife quickly advised her husband to leave the matter. She was concerned that my friend would make a police report.
The result - the guy left. My friend made a police report. Verdict - lost in translation.
