A 46-year-old Singaporean man, identified as the owner of a popular chicken rice restaurant in Braddell Road, is set to face three charges after a road rage incident in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The man, whose name has not been disclosed, was charged with obstructing a police officer and attacking a 30-year-old Malaysian woman. According to police reports, the altercation between the two men stemmed from a dispute between three Malaysian men and the Singaporean man.
Prosecutors allege that the Singaporean man possessed an 8.5cm knife without a valid permit during the incident. The man, who did not request a trial, was granted bail of RM20,000 (S$6,301) following his road rage incident. His lawyers stated that he suffers from mental health issues that require ongoing treatment. The restaurant, which has been operating at the same location for over 30 years, was reportedly empty when police arrived on the scene. The man's mother is frequently seen at the restaurant.
