Parking dispute, but netizens joke it was 'girlfriend dispute' that caused man to scratch both sides of Honda Civic near New World Centre at Jalan Besar
On Tuesday (May 3), a TikToker going by benjunior_87 uploaded a video of a man scratching not one but two sides of a Honda Civic in Singapore.
Timestamps on the video, which came from a dashcam, show that it occurred at about 11:40 am on Monday, May 2, allegedly near New World Centre at Jalan Besar.
In it, a man wearing a white shirt and holding an umbrella approaches a red Honda Civic.
He then appears to nonchalantly take a key and scratches one side of the Civic.
Unsatisfied, he goes to the other side of the car in order to vandalize its other side.
The poster wrote in the comments section that a parking dispute was the cause of the act of vandalism.
“This is Singapore, why do you need to do this?” the TikToker asks.
The man can then be seen approaching his own car, a dark grey Proton X50 that was parked in the middle of the road. The Proton can be seen with a Malaysian licence plate.
Commenters on benjunior_87’s TikTok tried to guess what made the man in grey so angry, and one popular guess was that the other driver had snatched his parking space. This was confirmed by the poster in several comments.

Others guessed that it was a dispute over a girl.
