Johor prince shares CCTV footage of his car being bumped into
On Monday (1 Aug), Johor prince Tunku Idris Iskandar Sultan Ibrahim posted pictures of his damaged vehicle on Instagram, with a caption in Malay that reads, “Attitude.”
Accompanying the pictures is CCTV footage of the incident.
The short clip shows a Singapore-registered BMW squeezing its way through a tight street outside a bakery in Johor Bahru.

The impact was strong enough to make the Honda shake, attracting the attention of a passer-by.
After parking his vehicle, the BMW driver hopped out and walked calmly towards the front of the Honda.
Although he didn’t tilt his head, he made sure to walk the whole length of the vehicle’s side before leaving.

According to Utusan Malaysia, the prince’s white Honda is a fully-electric vehicle, one of only four in the country.
The cost of the vehicle comes up to about S$65,065 (RM210,000).

Hope issue will be settled amicably
Landing yourself in hot soup overseas is never a pleasant experience.
However, with the prevalence of CCTVs nowadays, it’s best to own up if you’ve made a mistake.
Otherwise, you may end up getting shamed on social media.
In this case, we hope the prince and the driver can find a way to settle the issue amicably without further trouble.
