##### While it's common knowledge that one needs to pay for services rendered, some look to flex or show off their titles and background in order to skimp on making payment.

A sign at an undisclosed car wash centre is making rounds on the Internet over its blunt message to those who try avoid payment by saying the oft-quoted phrase: **"Do you know who I am?"**

## 'Tan Sri or gangster, all must pay!'

The sign was shared in a [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/1sd84j6/saw_this_at_car_wash_ptsd_much/) on Apr 5, where the user said that he spotted the sign at a car wash centre.

However, its location wasn't disclosed in the post.

According to the sign displayed in both Malay and Mandarin, it reads: **"Beginning 2025, it doesn't matter whether you are a Tan Sri, Datuk Seri, Datuk, a cop, a gangster, a best friend, or the tauke's (business owner) brother…pay up now! Thank you."**

The sign also cheekily stated that aside from God, the car wash centre only believes in accepting cash payment.

## Amusement

Although netizens couldn't help but laugh over the sign's tone and bluntness, they praised the car wash centre for being firm towards miserly customers.

***'Honestly based. Business is business, pay up and no drama.'***

***'Guess the owner already had enough with so-called VIP people that refuse to pay. We don't care about your VIP status, just give the money if you're VIP enough.'***
