<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following Khairy Jamaluddin&rsquo;s recent expulsion from Umno, he claims that he is presently considering all of his options, including finding a new political party.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.utusan.com.my/wp-content/uploads/BARU-2KJ.jpeg" alt="Saya tak terkejut - KJ" width="533" height="355" />Image by Utusan</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, any comeback to Umno will depend on whether the party that fired him on Friday night makes a significant shift. In a radio broadcast this morning, Khairy stated that this involves alterations to the top leadership.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KxkPXsusd7I" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The former Rembau MP said on BFM Radio's The Breakfast Grille show that he still intends to be actively involved in politics but added that whatever choice he makes will need to be carefully thought out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, joining a new party will be unpleasant at first, as it is likely that you have previously disagreed with the party. However, politics is all about influencing people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What&rsquo;s shocking was that three days before his interview, he was fired from Umno as part of a huge internal purge intended to rid the party of purported dissidents.</span></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/63/28/7c63283168b819a38876f8a3bc6e8428.gif" alt="Shocked GIF - Shocked Glass Break - Discover &amp; Share GIFs | Gif, Shock,  Animated gif" width="432" height="228" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although the official reasons for his dismissal have not been made public, it is widely believed that they have something to do with statements he made calling for Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the party's president, to step down after Umno had its worst electoral showing since its founding, and accusing the party of going astray and in need of "internal cleansing."</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://img.astroawani.com/2021-08/81627894109_DatukSeriDrAhmad.jpg" alt="Zahid Hamidi zahir penghargaan kepada Ahli Parlimen, pemimpin setia dengan  UMNO | Astro Awani" width="460" height="312" />Image by Astro Awani</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to Khairy, other prominent leaders who were expelled from Umno were Tan Sri Noh Omar, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, a former party vice-president and a Sembrong MP, as well as former information chief Shahril Sufian Hamdan, were also suspended for six years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response to a question about perhaps rejoining Umno, Khairy stated that doing so would depend on the party undergoing an internal reorganization. He also noted how the party's "brand equity" and leadership have declined recently.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.agendadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/PAU11.jpg" alt="PAU 2021: Kini UMNO bermusuh dengan semua parti, mahu PRU-15 segera -  Agenda Daily" width="493" height="328" />Image by Agenda Daily</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked if he would challenge his expulsion, Khairy responded, "No, because that would entail challenging the same individuals who took this decision alone. I spoke with Shahril and Noh about this. What good would it do to appeal if they are determined to keep us out?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, he stated that he has had a number of non-political proposals since losing Sg Buloh in the GE15 and that he will make a choice in due course.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Crown Prince of Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, hinted on Instagram on Saturday that Khairy would be given a significant position both in the state and at Johor Darul Ta'zim FC (JDT). He also shared a cheeky photo of himself and Khairy with the comment, "Future JDTFC CEO and Johor Youth adviser."</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked if his desire to lead the nation one day still exists despite being expelled from Umno, Khairy responded, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&ldquo;I still want to be involved in politics. If and when I come back to frontline politics, that&rsquo;s something I want to take my time with.&rdquo;&nbsp;</span></p>

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is still regarded as a friend by Khairy Jamaluddin. Well, according to him.

What’s Happening Between Khairy And UMNO?

<p>Whenever you go out in Malaysia, you&rsquo;ll probably notice that many of our malls or entertainment outlets actually have dedicated areas and facilities for the disabled (OKU). If you were to go to any mall within the Klang Valley, you&rsquo;ll frequently notice that they too ensure that there are sufficient restrooms for them whenever nature calls.</p>
<p>The good thing is that many Malaysians out there all respect the OKU citizens and always offer a helping hand to them in any way possible to ensure that what they are doing can be done smoothly, especially if they are taking public transport.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not all people are good and sometimes they really need to be thought a lesson on how to respect the disabled.</p>
<p><strong>OKU Man Waits 1.5 Hours To Use OKU Toilet</strong></p>
<p>Recently, Daniel Lee who is a para-athlete advocate recorded an incident that he faced after needing to use the restroom at Pavilion KL.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/0b034b428f71966092b67233ee5d1f4137a22b047b277d38231cdfa6f08b2624" /></p>
<p>As Lee was making his way to the OKU restroom, he found out that it had been occupied by someone else. He then suspected that the occupant was not a disabled individual and proceeded to wait outside for 1.5 hours.</p>
<p>He then knocked on the door 3-5 times to ensure that someone was inside and that&rsquo;s when he heard someone yell, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not done!&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Frustrated at the situation, Lee then contacted the mall's management and a staff member came to his aid. Shortly after, the man who had been hogging the OKU restroom came out and also attempted to shrug the issue off.</p>
<p><strong>The Man Was Allegedly Washing His Clothes</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/e2749d1411c0e9505c95785f7c5620d984641a6b2ab713ab42abda9113024e15" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Lee had confronted the man for hogging the OKU restroom for 1.5 hours and asked why did he do so. The latter answered that he had recently moved out and that he wanted to wash his clothes before his trip back to this home town.</p>
<p>He even gave the excuse stating that he only used the OKU restroom as he claimed that there had been no one using it and thought the people knocking on the door were the cleaners. Additionally, he did not want to use the normal restroom to wash his clothes.</p>
<p><strong>I&rsquo;m Not In A Wheelchair Like You</strong></p>
<p>When Lee requested for the man to wait till security arrives to assess the mall&rsquo;s policy regarding the issue, the man later got angry and tried to walk away.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/5e4ab6f30337615072c24e2c7b8b7a04ee9780d2a9cec69829d47f29c99c42a6" /></p>
<p>He then proceeded to question the latter on why did he use the restroom thinking if he had any disabilities or if he was homeless and why he had used the OKU restroom.</p>
<p>In a rude manner, the man replied &ldquo;Of course, I don&rsquo;t have (any disabilities). I&rsquo;m not in a wheelchair like you&rdquo;. He later got more aggressive towards Lee and even told him to shut up. As the man lost his patience, he attempted to escape via the lift and eventually walked out of the shopping mall.</p>

<p><strong>Mixed Reactions Among Netizens Online</strong></p>
<p>As Lee did explain to the man that if there is a penalty for wrongfully using the disabled restroom, he would not pursue it further as he just wants it to be a stern reminder to the man. Lee also explains that the point of his post was not to shame the man but to help raise more awareness of the issues that are faced by the disabled community on a daily basis and hopes that more individuals would be more considerate in the future.</p>
<p>Yes, the man did apologise but no action would have been taken against him as Pavilion does not have any policies in place that could penalise or reprimand anyone who abuses the OKU restrooms.</p>
<p>Netizens reacted to a series of videos posted by Lee and despite having support for it, some also questioned why didn&rsquo;t Lee go to another OKU restroom instead of waiting for 1.5 hours. Some even condemned Lee for &ldquo;running the man&rsquo;s reputation&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens:</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/8676d51485e155eba89b939fb00a46e1359df750e8c5adcdcfa9999c1ed4f2c8" /></p>
<p>Despite the negativity by some, many stood by Lee&rsquo;s side and supported his decision to voice the issue.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/bfd371199ec2d180879f5c2cf597b46a93e10706113d7e9a556ca9c35a9e7ce6" /></p>
<p><em>I do agree with Lee that the man shouldn&rsquo;t have done that in the first place and I do hope that lawmakers would not close one eye on issues like this in the future and would amend the law to have appropriate action to individuals who do such acts.</em></p>
<p><em>What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.<br /></em></p>

Disabled M’sian Confronts Man For Misusing OKU Restroom In Pavilion KL

<p>It&rsquo;s the Ramadan season and this marks the month when Muslims worldwide start fasting. Over the past few months, Malaysians all understand that we&rsquo;ve been hit with inflation and it's been difficult for many to afford basic needs, especially when it comes to meals.</p>
<p>Due to that, many Malaysians have opted to skip meals in order to save money. Even with the introduction of Menu Rahmah by the government, some restaurants have even had to forcefully stop serving it due to their losses.</p>
<p><strong>Read:</strong> <strong><a href="https://myc.my/articles/2281/restaurant-owner-discontinues-menu-rahmah-after-suffering-losses">Restaurant Owner Discontinues Menu Rahmah After Suffering Losses</a></strong></p>
<p>Despite the inflation issue and hardships that many Malaysians face, this burger stall in Melaka has set the issue aside and offers free food to those in need.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b5bf42f74a1f0285c2f83dcebdc3d18fb28adebc215ce97bae44c9f600fc2d8d" /></p>
<p>Asip Burger Bachang had posted up a picture of a sign in front of their stall stating to customers who can&rsquo;t afford to purchase food, they encourage to let them know about their predicament.</p>
<p>&ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t have money to buy food, please tell us as there&rsquo;s no need to go hungry. We will give you a burger for free,&rdquo; read the sign.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/d45adf40e3bd11272684ef0cd00fc636ce2c704b731d158f83c71e91a750ed37" /></p>
<p><strong>Netizens Praise Their Initiative</strong></p>
<p>As their post gained attention on Facebook, many netizens were touched by the stall's initiative to help those in need. Before you think that this only attracted the Malay crowd, it was also shared across Chinese language-based platforms and it too got much praise.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/a4e03508c7bca34bc3f2e4bceaa7ed5f82f2f7b9a3709cea45c9c3e062214fbd" /></p>
<p>&ldquo;Thankful for your presence, boundless merits, may a good person have a peaceful life.&rdquo;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/80de46514a49c9f4c0351c2231a7b671948f37a8206fdc0bf15e9df39135d323" /></p>
<p>&ldquo;Thank you 🙏 for your selfless dedication.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;There are actually many good Malay people... I remember when I used to manage a stall, every time when finding a spot, I ask the Malay people they will personally find a spot for you to set up your stall. Some even help u to carry the stock! But for chinses people... they would not say a word or say there&rsquo;s no spots available and to leave.&rdquo;</p>

<p>One thing to note is that the stall informed the public that during Ramadan, their stall will not be operating throughout Ramadan as they would like to take the opportunity to fast and return from work peacefully without having the need to rush to purchase goods and break fast with their family. They did promise that after the 7<sup>th</sup> day of Hari Raya, they will resume operations as usual.</p>

<p>Photography is the art and practice of capturing images using light and technology. It has the power to freeze a moment in time, convey emotions, and tell stories without words.</p>
<p>Despite the era of smartphone cameras taking over the vast majority of people, nothing can ever beat the feeling of holding a physical camera and taking shots of subjects all around you.</p>
<p><strong>Canon Malaysia Slammed By Malaysians</strong></p>
<p>Recently, Canon Malaysia uploaded a video showcasing street photography by local photographer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mimstreetphotography/?hl=en">@mimstreetphotography</a>.</p>
<p><video style="width: 660px; height: 330px;" controls="controls" width="660" height="330">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/6cfa2e6f50db9073270208c1f1611057891f271a704e73776470918e915d1037" /></video></p>
<p>The caption read out &ldquo;STREET PHOTOGRAPHY&rdquo; and typically, many would think they&rsquo;d see some pretty impressive shots of what&rsquo;s going on around the streets of KL. However, to those who haven&rsquo;t dived much into photography, the video would certainly attract users as it showcases the brand's EOS RP camera that&rsquo;s paired up with their EF135mm F2.0L USM lens.</p>
<p>Netizens had called out Canon Malaysia on their social media platforms pointing out that the video they shared was not street photography and many gave their own opinion about the issue.</p>
<p>The issue was brought to light by photojournalist Farhan Akmal who shared a series of opinions on Twitter.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">It's disappointing to see the brand ignore the local scene. <br /><br />Supporting the community is essential, not just pushing products.<br /><br />Street photography is an art form that requires understanding &amp; appreciation. Brands should strive to educate themselves &amp; contribute to the community.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">It's time for camera brands to move beyond just selling products and become active members of the artistic communities they serve. <br /><br />Supporting creativity benefits everyone.</p>

<p>
<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</p>
<p>In the Facebook post that has now been deleted by Canon, stand-up comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/prakashdaniel">Prakash Daniel</a> also voiced out his thoughts and called for Canon Malaysia to &ldquo;stop spoiling the term Street Photography&rdquo;. He called out the brand for not featuring many other established street photographers in the country and questioned how the brand managed to come up with content that&rsquo;s pulled out straight from TikTok.</p>
<p>For reference, this is likely the TikTok trend Canon Malaysia was going for:</p>
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@ryukstyles/video/7167620152345824517" data-video-id="7167620152345824517">

&nbsp;<strong>Netizens Share Divided Opinions On The Video</strong></p>
<p>Although the post has now been deleted from Facebook, Canon Malaysia&rsquo;s Instagram still has it up but its caption had since been edited to &ldquo;Is this reel street photography, or something else? What do you think? Comment below!&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Of course, the negativity didn&rsquo;t stop on Instagram and many shared their thoughts on the video:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/97f80126cd846615e346ab76af16a486445643ac7b6ddc72304ef85df2a4163c" /></p>
<p>But despite it, some had voiced out and did say that what Canon did is indeed street photography as most of these shots are candid shots in an environment that can&rsquo;t necessarily be controlled all the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/fa205440e6adf1bf0067e6adbe8650b2a692e89c7095dc1597126cf88f8ed18a" /></p>
<p><strong>What Is Defined As Street Photography?</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/fbd8e199ae991bf5b26a6552128b96913519c65bd97c6730204ab579c59d1ed3" /></strong></p>
<p>Street photography is typically known as candid photography. The style is conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chances encounters and random incidents within public areas. What makes street photography such a fun topic is how each subject you take always has a story behind the photo which shows the expression of a person during the said moment.</p>
<p>Typically, this type of photography is often taken without the knowledge of the strange which gives the photo the most authentic feel. Even Bloomberg noted that street photographers would not necessarily have a social purpose in mind as they would like to isolate and capture moments that sometimes go unnoticed.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>In our opinion, street photography can be about anything and everything. Despite Canon deleting their original post and caption, the debate is certainly an interesting topic but it&rsquo;s nothing to get mad and point fingers at.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>No matter if you&rsquo;re new or a veteran in the photography world, remember to always shoot what you love as any photo can have a meaning to it. </em></span></p>

The Street Photography Debate: Canon Malaysia's Approach On Topic Outrages Netizens

<p>Recently, news of Hot Thai Guys performing at Privacy Club at Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur became a hot topic on social media.</p>
<p>If you don&rsquo;t know who these men are, they are said to be famous in Thailand at a restaurant called Staneemeehoi in Lat Phrao, Bangkok.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/87dd5d49a9719741dd399c305d854f1fecf78f7fcda2a59316b58d521d6c3bff" /></p>
<p>According to the event poster, there were 4 hunky men the club had intended to invite the men to Kuala Lumpur for their opening which was supposed to be held on 30<sup>th</sup> March with tickets allegedly going on sale for RM888.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/2c668773f22755815adc79186f345242b19c44b8cd314cf112e613ff7f846761" width="433" height="613" /></p>
<p>Many news outlets picked up on the story and reported that people were not thrilled about such an event happening in Malaysia, especially since its currently the month of Ramadan. While there are many stories of politicians disapproving of the opening of the club such as PAS secretary Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan who had urged DBKL to take action.</p>
<p>Astro Awani meanwhile reported that UMNO&rsquo;s Youth Division had also struck out against the event and is lodging a police report over the event.</p>
<p><strong>Najib&rsquo;s Son Sad About The Situation</strong></p>
<p>After the posts had gone viral across social media, the son of former Prime Minister Najib Razak slammed the premise for planning an event there as well as insulting his late grandfather&rsquo;s name.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMNMNajib%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0q4VT1kzoama9otSbiAhe5W861a2shHKbQmBMbtwCGU2KwP2nTLpV5gchnpkRbLBPl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="647" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>&ldquo;Using my Tokda&rsquo;s name Allahyarham Tun Abdul Razak as a material or promotional article is an insult to my big family. This is very very inappropriate and I see it as an insult to Allahyarham (Tun Abdul Razak). Disappointed and sad, these are things filling my heart right now,&rdquo; said Nazif.</p>
<p><strong>Addressing The Situation</strong></p>
<p>After receiving a lot of backlashes, the management of Privacy had not expected that the event will bring this much negative attention and they had come forward to address the situation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/416a57fd09a96969178f3d569062892913ebc17d859de74925d0908c92b6677a" /></p>
<p>According to their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PrivacyTunRazak/posts/pfbid02SYSraqDsnL6oU2Xf7ZFxvuxPXTWLUZqmq6Bd6L4NeLui55yCGENuToz7NLdDpsvbl?locale=ms_MY">Facebook</a> post, the owners of the club apologized and informed the organizers of the program to cancel the event on 30 March. It also stated that they respect the religious sensitivities of the country and will not violate the laws that have been set. Furthermore, they clarified that the media distribution regarding the program was posted without their consent and apologised for that error.</p>
<p><strong>Were They Operating Without A Valid License?</strong></p>
<p>There had been reports that the venue had been operating under an expired license and had no application for an entertainment license which included the Hot Thai Guys and guest DJs. They too clarified that the statement that was reported was not accurate.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/4e6b02e628d5b848ae10b56de125bf6b33bb96d70b00f238f493638a90a5bcd8" /></p>
<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve always renewed our license and our current license is valid until July this year.&rdquo; The representative also told Sin Chew Daily that the dancers were not invited to perform at the venue but to only attend the club&rsquo;s opening ceremony and cut the ribbon.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Well, if any of you were planning to go to the event to specifically meet the men due to how popular they are, you can&rsquo;t do so now. Though there are many happening events in Kuala Lumpur, its always best to respect the views or the practices of other religions in the country and try not to have such &ldquo;controversial&rdquo; events during this period, especially since it&rsquo;s Ramadan month.</em></span></p>

Controversy: Privacy Club Tun Razak Address Media Backlash Over Thai Hot Guys

<p>Having the convenience of e-hailing services around town can be pretty handy. No more needing to worry about parking your car and even the petrol fee. However, the only thing we can never avoid is the traffic.</p>
<p>Though it is a great option to take e-hailing services it too comes with a risk as you&rsquo;ll be meeting people of different backgrounds and both the passenger and the driver could get assaulted.</p>
<p><img src="https://r2.myc.my/5d4999753bfd642e6bae9b6ab9c7a8712eef3751039e314356f6b7d00b9cf2fa" /></p>
<p>Recently, a Grab driver in Singapore had share his story of how a female passenger assaulted him after accusing him of taking a longer route which caused her to be late. The story was shared on an Instagram page, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/complaint.singapore/">@complaints.singapore</a> and the incident took place on 8 March.</p>
<p>The driver stated that he had picked up a female Chinese national who looked to be in her 40s. The drive started off at Ang Mo Kio and she wanted to head to Tao Payoh which is roughly a 15&ndash;20 minute ride at around 6 &ndash; 7.4KM depending on the route you take and on traffic conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/b6420e2c08e77dc469b5fbfb2fef499f1ba74ba872a1344df918421b49b59f7f" /></p>
<p>The moment she entered the vehicle, she was already trying to converse with the driver in mandarin, which he couldn&rsquo;t understand. Despite not being able to understand her, he still began the journey and followed the set route on the GPS.</p>
<p><strong>Woman Loses It When Approaching The Destination</strong></p>
<p>As the ride was reaching Tao Payoh, the driver stated that the woman had allegedly started screaming at him. He interpreted that the woman stated that she was running late and that he allegedly took a longer route to the destination.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/63425011dbd6f2fcdf0f9caa9f76fc9989aa2ba653400a67df8d3fd0716156ce" /></p>
<p>The woman had also struck his shoulder which prompted the driver to abruptly step on the brakes. Despite trying to explain to the woman about the route that was selected by the GPS in English, it proved useless and he continued to drive till he reached the destination.</p>
<p>Upon opening the door for the woman, she started hitting and scratching his arm which prompted the driver to rush back into his car and drive away. Upon driving away, he later noticed that his arm was bleeding and he proceeded to lodge a police report before seeking medical treatment.</p>
<p><strong>Grab Singapore Responds To The Issue</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img src="https://r2.myc.my/323b3ca3978a81d9b2a5f3a1071a947bc148c5b53cad26e06deff7b7208a9377" width="490" height="368" /></strong></p>
<p>In a report by MS News, a spokesperson responded by stating that the company had reached out to the driver-partner to provide assistance. As for the woman, the e-hailing company has temporarily suspended the woman&rsquo;s account.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Grab does not tolerate any kind of inappropriate behaviour. Ensuring that all who use our platform feel safe is very important to us, and we urge everyone to treat each other with respect.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0505;"><em>Yikes, hopefully, the company compensated the driver appropriately for what happened. Perhaps this is why some drivers install a divider between them and the passengers when driving Grab.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #ff0505;"><img src="https://r2.myc.my/8c075080218f31e41e0d2d9d237ba16528b19e7cc71edf1d338476a4bb51fb87" /></span><br />Acrylic barriers installed in certain Grab cars.</em></p>

The woman’s account has since been suspended.
