Jealousy can sometimes lead to violent confrontations, causing harm and damage.
This was evident in a recent incident in Kuala Terengganu, where two restaurant assistants allegedly resorted to physical assault fueled by their jealousy and dissatisfaction with a mutual friend.

Kuala Terengganu District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rahim Md. Din, revealed that initial investigations pointed to jealousy as the underlying cause of the altercation.
The two suspects, aged 40 and 23, reportedly held grievances against the victim related to a boyfriend-related issue.
She subsequently sought medical attention at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in the city to address her injuries.
