A video has been making waves online showing a Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) officer getting attacked by a stall trader.
According to Dang Wangi District Police Chief ACP Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, a scuffle broke out between DBKL enforcement officers and a woman after she was told to move her food truck, which was blocking traffic.
The trader apologised for her actions
Things escalated, and one of the officers ended up getting bitten by the trader. The suspect has since been arrested and remanded for 2 days for further investigations.
Harian Metro later reported that the 30-year-old trader was sentenced to a RM3,000 fine.
Following this, the trader finally broke her silence in a video shared by aatv.inforakyat on TikTok, where she explained her side of the story and apologised for her actions.
“I have a valid business license since 2019”
In the video, Wawa apologised to the authorities, admitting that she wasn’t in the right state of mind during the incident.
She also cleared up some claims, saying she’s been a licensed trader since 2019, and has been trading for 6 years.
She explained that during the operation, she begged the officers not to take her vehicle and asked for some time to move it since her husband had the keys and wasn’t there.
She claimed she was slapped and kicked first
According to Wawa, despite pleading, she couldn’t convince them and ended up getting kicked and slapped instead.
“I kept begging them not to take my vehicle. Some of the officers kicked and slapped me, but I don’t want to make this a bigger issue. If possible, I just want to settle this peacefully,” she said.
As for the biting incident that got everyone talking, she claimed it happened when the officers pulled her aside after she tried to stop them from taking her vehicle.
“I sat in front of the truck to stop them from seizing it. Then, one of the officers pulled me aside, and that’s when things got physical. They slapped and kicked me, so I grabbed the officer’s hand and bit it,” she said.
She’s urging authorities to let unlicensed small traders operate
Wawa shared that, as civil servants, enforcement officers shouldn’t be using force while doing their job.
She’s also calling on the authorities to consider letting unlicensed small traders operate temporarily during Ramadan.
“Where’s their work ethic? I know I was in the wrong for obstructing a public servant, but that doesn’t mean they can use force on me,” she said.
