I REFER to the report “Woman threatens council officer over illegal parking” (The Star, Sept 9) and the accompanying video clip. It is sad that the lady lost her cool while dealing with the problem. Perhaps she was having a hard time or she was stressed because this was the first time her car was clamped and she would have to pay a fine to get it released. Whatever the reason, her action was unreasonable and the council officer should be congratulated for his cool composure while dealing with her.
In any case, this is a private matter between the lady and the council officer. Although she was holding the steering lock, she didn’t seem violent or have any intention of hurting anyone.
