CIQ Chaos: Spat Over Bus Seats Turns Spicy!

Johor Bahru – A video clip showing a heated argument (and a bit of a shove-fest) between a man and a woman at the Johor CIQ has gone viral. Apparently, the kerfuffle started over seats while boarding a bus at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI). You know, the usual CIQ hustle!

The 14-second video, uploaded late last night, shows the two individuals pushing each other near the bus entrance. Let's be real, who hasn't felt the pressure of getting on that bus to JB?

Of course, this incident sparked the usual comments on social media, with many calling for better crowd control at the CIQ, especially during peak hours. We've all been there, squeezing like sardines trying to cross the border.

Police Investigating the CIQ Commotion

According to Johor Bahru South district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat, no official police reports have been filed yet.

However, the police are aware of the video, receiving it via Facebook. They are now trying to identify those involved, find witnesses, and figure out exactly what caused the fight. Macam-macam hal!

"The police are identifying the individuals involved, witnesses of the incident and the actual cause of the altercation. The public is advised not to further spread the video to avoid misunderstandings or speculation that could affect public harmony," said ACP Raub Selamat.

If you saw anything, the police are asking you to contact the Johor Baru South district police headquarters Hotline at 07-2182323.

Maybe next time, we all just need to chill a bit. Road trips are supposed to be fun, not a boxing match!
