Woman ‘chopes’ parking lot in Johor & refuses to move

On Saturday (13 April), the SG Road Vigilante – SGRV Facebook Page posted a video of a parking space ‘chope-ing’ incident involving a woman and a vehicle in Johor.

The clip showed the woman standing in an empty lot, allegedly reserving the spot for another vehicle.

Many commenters have since called her out for being inconsiderate.

Woman tries to ‘chope’ parking lot

According to SGRV, the incident occurred outside the Tangkak Beef noodle restaurant in Johor at 12.03pm on Friday (12 April).

Dashcam footage from a vehicle that was turning into an empty lot in front of the eatery captured a woman holding an umbrella standing at the front of the lot.

As the dashcam vehicle approached, the woman waved at the driver, as if signalling for them not to go any further.

She also uttered some words to the driver, seemingly suggesting that she had reserved the lot for someone else.

The video very briefly showed the dashcam vehicle reversing before cutting to a photo of a Singapore-registered Mitsubishi in the exact lot seen earlier.
