Arguments between couples is nothing new, but sometimes things can get really heated to the point where one of them storms off in anger.
A verbal altercation between a couple in Melaka ended in tragedy after the wife rode off in a huff on her kapcai (motorcycle), only to lose her life after she lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a stone wall.
