KUALA LUMPUR: A woman with the title of ‘Datin’ slapped a security guard across the face when he refused to allow a food deliveryman to convey her order directly to her condominium unit at Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz here, on Thursday.

The guard’s insistence that the condominium’s security policy be observed forced the Datin to descend to the lobby to collect her food delivery – much to her displeasure.

Once downstairs, the infuriated Datin – accompanied by a man believed to be her husband – raised a fuss and insisted upon seeing the condominium’s management, to whom she gave an earful.

It was during her tirade that she suddenly struck the guard, who reacted by simply touching his cheek in disbelief.

The Datin and her husband then stormed off, presumably back towards their unit.

The entire incident was captured by a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera, the footage of which quickly found its way online. The 39-second video instantly went viral and netizens were left foaming at the mouth over the Datin’s antics.

The sordid story did not end there, however.

At 11am on the following day (Friday, Aug 30), the assaulted security guard, who is from Nepal, filed a police report over the incident.

According to Dang Wangi police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fahmi Visuvanathan Abdullah, the Datin will soon be summoned to have her statement recorded.

“The case is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt,” he added.

Section 323 provides for a sentence of up to a year in prison, a fine, or both, following a conviction. - nst
