Singapore-registered Honda drivers get into shoving match at Malaysia checkpoint
According to a Facebook post by SG Road Vigilante, two drivers of Singapore-registered Honda cars got into a physical shoving match at the Malaysian checkpoint.
The incident allegedly occurred on 31 May at 2.30am, involving a white Honda Vezel and a black Honda Fit, both with Singaporean licence plates.
Rear dashcam footage from another vehicle showed the two cars side-by-side in a crowded section of the road, slowly inching forward.

The drivers appeared to already be gesturing at each other. At one point, the Vezel moved to cut into the lane of the Honda Fit.

Netizens criticise both sides for getting into a fight
One netizen criticised both parties involved, saying real men would “talk it out” rather than fight.
They also said the fight would cause traffic at the customs to be congested, affecting others.

Another commenter said that going to Johor Bahru (JB) was to have fun and be happy. As such, the Singaporean cars should have just been gracious and give way to each other.

A third user commented that stepping out of the vehicle on the road in the first place meant being ready to “accept all consequences.”
