Singaporean drivers clash in road rage incident at Johor CIQ
JOHOR BARU: A petty road spat between two Singapore-registered Honda drivers escalated into a full-blown shoving match at the land checkpoint here on May 31. A one-minute-17-second clip of the road rage incident, which also showed both men kicking each other's vehicles, is believed to have been captured by another motorist's dashcam and later posted on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page. The incident, which occurred at 2.30am, involved a white Honda Vezel and a black Honda Fit, both Singapore-registered, in near-standstill traffic at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complexes at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI). In the video, the Vezel driver, clad in a white T-shirt and shorts, is seen stepping out of his vehicle to confront the Fit driver, who was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts. As the latter opened his door, the man in white kicked it, sparking a brief but aggressive shoving match. A woman from the Vezel and two men from the Fit rushed to defuse the situation, but not before more door-kicking and finger-jabbing played out, all in the middle of slow-moving traffic. The altercation further irritated motorists already stuck in the early-morning jam. The clip ends there, but netizens were quick to weigh in. Some condemned the display of machismo, pointing out that traffic at the checkpoint was bad enough without "two Honda drivers playing Street Fighter". Others advised motorists to "leave the drama on Netflix, not in JB". One commenter quipped that the saga probably ended with both men hugging it out at a nearby petrol station, after realising Malaysia's fuel prices were too good to fight over. Meanwhile, Johor Baru South police chief, Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat, said that, as of press time, no police reports had been lodged by either party.

Singapore Drivers Fight at Causeway Checkpoint
TWO Singapore-registered Honda vehicles were involved in a physical altercation at a Malaysian immigration checkpoint, according to footage shared on social media. According to SG Road Vigilante on its Facebook post, the confrontation took place during the early hours of May 31 (Saturday) at approximately 2.30am, featuring a white Honda Vezel and a black Honda Fit, both bearing Singapore number plates. Dashboard camera recordings from a nearby vehicle captured the incident as it unfolded in the congested checkpoint area, with both cars moving slowly in adjacent lanes. The footage reveals that tensions were already escalating between the drivers through hand gestures before the situation deteriorated further. The dispute intensified when the white Vezel attempted to merge into the black Honda Fit's lane, prompting the Vezel's driver to exit his vehicle. The man, wearing white clothing, approached the Fit aggressively while making threatening gestures toward the other driver. As the situation escalated, the Fit's driver, dressed in black, opened his door to step out, at which point the Vezel driver grabbed the door and delivered a kick to it. The confrontation then moved onto the roadway, where the man in white physically pushed his opponent backward, initiating a scuffle. A female passenger from the Vezel attempted to intervene and de-escalate the situation, while two additional men emerged from the Fit to join the fray. The incident devolved into a group altercation with multiple participants pushing each other as the woman continued her efforts to restore order. Majority netizens stood out to condemn the act by both drivers. Facebook user Mohd Barak suggested the Singapore government to enact a new law fining or temporarily ban anyone from entering Johor Baru if caught fighting at checkpoints.
