IT doesn't take much to set some people off – sometimes, all it takes is a blast of a horn.
A video has gone viral recently of a man threatening another with a stick in Simpang Pulai.
Did this really happen?
Verdict:
TRUE
Police have confirmed a report was lodged over an incident where an individual was allegedly threatened with a stick on Jalan Ipoh-Gopeng in Simpang Pulai.
