A recent viral video showing a security guard being slapped by a man has sparked widespread outrage.
Reddit user @the_pepega_boi shared the video on the r/Malaysia thread, claiming that the incident took place near his apartment.
The 45-second clip shows a man dressed in a blue jubah and white kopiah speaking to the security guard at a security booth.
After a brief conversation, he returns to the passenger seat of a car.
At the 18-second mark, another man, dressed in a black T-shirt and pants, suddenly steps out of the vehicle and slaps the security guard across the face before getting back into the car.

The security guard then calmly grabs a phone from the booth and makes a call.
According to @the_pepega_boi, the two men had allegedly refused to provide their contact details and names as they did not have a resident sticker on their vehicle to prove they lived in the apartment.
In a follow-up comment, @the_pepega_boi added that the security guard had later gone to the Klang police station to lodge a report.
The video has since gained widespread attention, with many Malaysians praising the security guard’s composure and professionalism despite the provocation.
