PUCHONG: A garbage truck sparked outrage online after a video showing it speeding and spilling foul liquid at a toll lane went viral recently.
The footage posted on YouTube by user MrIdeaDohOfficial showed the truck speeding and cutting the queue near the toll booth.
As it halted, garbage wastewater splashed onto the road, leaving stains at the toll lane.
The incident is believed to have happened at the Puchong Selatan Toll Plaza, along the Damansara-Puchong Expressway.
User @firdaus_zul pitied the toll booth staff as they would have to suffer from the stench.
Netizens urged local authorities to investigate the incident.
User @mentari0_062 said: “Road Transport Department, please track down who was driving this lorry, revoke the company’s and the driver’s licence. He’s endangering peoples lives.”
User @sabrisabri8152 urged the authorities to take action against the company, saying, “This is serious. Look at how he entered the lane and slammed the brakes. Drivers like this are the ones who often crash into toll posts. Don’t let him drive again.”
Others speculated that the truck might have been driven by a foreign worker.
It is unclear which company the garbage truck belongs to.
Authorities have not issued a statement on the matter.
