I was on Federal Highway, somewhere near the Brewery, that time the road was really congested. I was driving the company's Hiace when a 3-tonne lorry swerved in front of me into my lane as there was very small gap between the car infront and me. He neither gave signal nor hand signals but instead he just block my way. I stopped for him but it turned out to be he was turning his steering too much and his lorry's side was dragging my side mirror. Being pissed off that moment, I tried to get to his side to ask what was his problem to do such driving and without further due, he yelled "Lu bodoh punya melayu, lu sudah nampak worang masuk kenapa lu lagi jalan? Lu bodoh ka? Pukimak betol"
I myself could not hold my anger, asking him to pull over to settle this mess. He tried to escape while showing up his middle finger, he thought that he could run away, that he used the fast lane all the way to the Batu Tiga toll. He was doing ard 110-120kmh on a 70/80kmh lorry and guess what, he got stucked at the toll and I was using Smartag. I waited for him at the road side just after the toll, and he quickly changed his lane from the furthest left, to the furthest right lane after the toll booth.
I was still aftering him until we both were stopped in traffic jam somewhere in PJ. I followed his way that he was able to squeeze his lorry between those small gaps between the traffic. He took the 'Jambatan Pulau Pinang' flyover exit and thats it, it was red light. He brake checked me and his 'kelindan' jumped out from the lorry. I assumed that they were confronting me, to say sorry perhaps, or maybe to start a fist fight (haha) but it happened that the 'kelindan' was just to delay me as he started to get out of that place. He took the junction to Kelana jaya and yes he managed to escape leaving behind his mate with me.
I have no problems with the 'kelindan' but with the driver and this was what the man told me;
" Abang mintak maaf lah itu saya punya kawan banyak sorry sama you. Dia cakap tak sengaja abang. Dia cakap sorry sangat2. Jangan la ini macam kita kan satu Malaysia. Tak baik lah gaduh gaduh abang. Sorry la bang. Sorry yaa." whilst bringing his two palms together symbolizing Sorry.
The apologising man was in his 30's. I felt ashamed that he had to apologise for others' rudeness. I was rather calmed down, dont want this prolonged, forgave and continued my drive towards KL.
This is our Malaysian mentality my brothers. Drive safe.
