Netizens allege that the individual claiming to be at the scene during the incident, the involved car driver, was described as impatient and disrespectful of the ceremonial proceedings. It is understood that more than 1,000 mourners attended the mosque to perform the funeral prayers for the Royal Malaysian Navy Squadron 503 Officer.
