Everyone is usually at their angriest after having an argument, but if left unchecked, it can cause one to do rash things that may end up hurting others.
A teen in Guar Cempedak, Kedah, reportedly lost his temper and decided to vent his anger by setting the house on fire, leading to a massive loss of property.
