A foreign tourist’s RM24,000 camera was returned by an e-hailing driver after being left inside the vehicle. However, the situation turned tense in Seputeh when the driver reportedly asked for RM50 for making the return trip, while the tourist offered RM20. The disagreement later escalated into an argument and alleged threats. 

Why Did A RM24,000 Camera Return Turn Into An Argument?

Mackey Edwin reportedly left a camera worth around USD5,500, or about RM24,000, inside an e-hailing vehicle after travelling from the Klang area. He later contacted the driver and asked for the camera to be returned to him at a temple in Seputeh. According to the report, the driver made the trip back and asked for RM50 as compensation for the additional journey. Mackey instead offered RM20, which the driver felt was too little considering the distance travelled. What began as a straightforward return of a valuable item then quickly became a dispute over how much the driver should receive for bringing it back. 

What Did The Tourist And Driver Claim During The Dispute?

Mackey claimed that he had tried calling and messaging the driver shortly after leaving the vehicle. He also alleged that the driver ignored those attempts and continued driving towards Klang so that he could later demand a higher return fee. The report does not independently establish that this was the driver’s intention. During the confrontation, the driver reportedly insisted that he had travelled a long distance and wanted RM50, while Mackey maintained that RM20 was enough. A local man at the scene reportedly told Mackey that RM50 was a reasonable amount for someone making the extra trip. 

How Did The Confrontation In Seputeh End?

The disagreement became more heated when the driver reportedly got out of his car and approached Mackey angrily. Security personnel and several people nearby then stepped in to calm the situation. According to Mackey’s account, the driver later made threats concerning his safety before returning to his vehicle. Mackey said he chose not to respond physically because he was in a foreign country and wanted to avoid legal trouble. Online reactions were divided, with some people saying the tourist should have offered more for the driver’s effort, while others criticised the driver’s alleged aggressive behaviour and threats.
