A video was posted on Twitter recently, showcasing a Malaysian woman’s rental home where she seemingly argues with DBKL officers over not being able to afford her PPR flat rental of RM124, despite the authorities being present to assist her with an installment plan.
In the video, the woman criticizes the local authorities, believed to be DBKL officers, for not ‘helping their own race’.
“We are Malay, why are you not helping your own race?” she argued.
She then instructed the officers to focus on foreigners running roadside businesses instead of disturbing her over her not paying her rent.
Throughout this entire argument, the officers are making efforts to calm her down as they want to let her know that they came here to assist her by coming up with some sort of installment plan so that she can pay off her outstanding rental debt.
“Ma’am, your rent is only RM124 a month,” the office tried to make her understand but before the officer could continue, the woman interrupted with, “I know lah, but I’m having difficulties! RM124? I don’t even have RM124 in my account!”
“That’s why we are here to help. We know you are having difficulties,” another officer interrupted.
“So? Help lah, Malay!” the woman angrily replied.
Subsequently, the officer informed her that they had an installment plan for her, to which she yelled at the officer, “What installment?!”.
Many have pointed out that, while they understand that she may be struggling to make her rental payments, she could have spoken to the officers more respectfully to come up with a solution rather than yelling at them.
