Two men trade blows over alleged queue-cutting at Johor checkpoint
A video of two men fighting at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) in Johor, Malaysia has recently gone viral on Facebook, sparking lively discussions online.

Fight breaks out at Johor checkpoint
A one-minute clip posted on Thursday (10 April) shows the chaotic fight erupting between two men.
Despite being surrounded by a crowd of stunned commuters, the pair paid no attention and were seen repeatedly punching each other in the face.
The incident appears to have occurred while both men were queuing to board a bus at the Johor checkpoint.
At one point, a female bystander was accidentally caught in the crossfire, her head grazed by a stray punch as she hurriedly retreated.

According to China Press, passengers had been queuing for quite some time when the man in the green jacket allegedly attempted to cut the line, sparking outrage.
One netizen claimed that a bus conductor had previously warned him to follow the queue properly and not jump ahead.
Despite the warning, he reportedly switched lanes and cut the queue again — which ultimately led to the confrontation.
Police investigations ongoing
In a statement released on Thursday (10 April), Johor Bahru South police confirmed that a viral video circulating on social media showed a fight between two individuals at the bus lane entering Singapore at BSI.
According to the statement, a police report was lodged at 7am that same day by a 21-year-old Malaysian man.
