With border restrictions lifted on the 1st of April 2022, Singaporeans can finally travel to Malaysia whenever they want. That means driving in for 'Lok Lok', getting a massage or filling your tank with subsidised petrol is now possible once again!

However, security and law enforcement across the border tends to sway on the lax side of things as seen in this alarming video of a Singapore-registered car being "broken into".

Or is there another story?

Don't be so quick to judge

Before you read on, let me establish the possibility of having two sides to the story.

The obvious story

A Malaysian man (supposedly) was caught on camera attempting to break into a Singapore-registered Hyundai Avante using a tool that resembles a metal ruler. 

The culprit was likely eyeing valuable contents in the car.

Despite committing a crime in broad daylight, he seemed calm during his break-in attempt. 

In fact, it seemed like he was experienced in what he was doing.

It is unknown if the culprit was successful in his break-in attempt. 

Another story to consider

Some comments on the post have said that the man works at a car wash and was trying to retrieve the car key, which was locked inside the car as the auto-lock function did not work in his favour. 

And just so happens, the person filming the video happened to witness the entire incident without any context and assumed the "culprit" was trying to break into the Singapore-registered Hyundai. 

If you think about it, it makes sense for the "culprit" to appear calm as he was not committing a crime.

A random thought: Can your car auto lock if your car key is inside the car?🤔 

Wouldn't a modern-day car have a feature to prevent locking your keys inside your car? Strange. 

Which side of the story do you think is true? Let me know in the comments below!

Is there an ending to the video as to what is the outcome of his act?

How to verify this is real? LoL If this is the truth where is the couple? Shouldnt they be worried and be standing around the car?? The guy can just take the keys and off he go with the car. Haha...

What car is this? Still using physical keys? Heng, mine is using proximity tech, no need to take out key from pocket.

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Disconnecting from Our Virtual Reality

    Recently, I had a scare at work. My laptop was suddenly unable to access the Internet despite working fine the entire day. A check with IT showed that the browser I was using, Arc, had somehow triggered the Falcon cybersecurity program, which promptly locked down my laptop despite the browser having worked fine for almost a year at that point. While I thankfully had cleared out my video backlog before it happened (most of them pending approval, a couple ready to publish), I was unable
