According to Sin Chew, the incident reportedly took place at an outdoor parking lot of a mall in Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru.

Man detaches wiper blade from arm

In the 19-second video, the couple approaches the parked car from opposite sides before meeting at the front.

They immediately seem interested in the windshield wiper.

The man starts fiddling with the car’s windshield wiper, detaching the blade from its arm.

The woman gestures towards the wiper, but the man walks away after successfully removing the blade.
