A video showing a young couple engaged in forbidden pleasure inside a red Axia has been making rounds on social media, where it eventually led to their arrest.
While the clip has sparked a flurry of memes and online jokes, it has also raised concern among parents about the things their children may be doing behind their back.
Couple spotted having sex inside Axia
In the viral video, the young couple were seen engaged in sexual intercourse inside a red Axia parked at an empty parking lot in Johor.
When a bystander approached them and asked what they were doing, he found them in a rather compromising position, where the girl was sitting on her boyfriend’s lap with her pants off and clad in a Malaysian Red Crescent Society (PBSM) t-shirt.
Seemingly caught by surprise, the girl hid her face from the camera while her boyfriend’s face could be seen in full view.
When asked what they were up to, the boyfriend quipped, “Dia sakit” (She’s in pain).
After the bystander told the man to get the car windows tinted, the latter begged him to delete the clip, but unfortunately it found its way to social media and has since spread like wildfire.
Couple arrested by police
Shortly after the clip went viral, police confirmed the incident, where they said the incident took place in Taman Kota Masai, Pasir Gudang on Mar 29 at around 3pm.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the couple were later nabbed and charged for violating public decency and brought to the Johor Bahru court by police who are applying for detainment.
According to a statement released by Johor police, the man was 22-years-old while the girl was 17-years-old. They also seized a the red Perodua Axia and PBSM t-shirt which were featured in the video.
The case is currently being probed under Section 377D Penal Code for the violation of modesty, which carries a maximum jail term of two years.
Under Malaysian law, the age of consent for sexual intercourse in 16, where those who engage in sexual acts with girls below that age can be charged with statutory rape.
In a Facebook post by Communications and Digital deputy minister Teo Nie Ching, she said that she has reached out to Meta to remove the video and instructed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take appropriate action.
The public is also urged not to share the clip or make memes out of it.
