In the video, a young cat can be seen hanging outside the vehicle’s window, with its neck still attached to a leash as the truck continues moving. The animal appeared frightened and struggled to free itself, while the person behind the camera watched in disbelief.

The situation became even more concerning when the driver was seen pulling the leash, swinging the cat back through the window and into the truck. The bystander could be heard questioning the situation in Malay, saying, “What’s going on? Why is the cat being hung like this? Aduhai.”

According to the Threads post, the incident reportedly happened along Batu 2, Jalan Mersing in Kluang, Johor.

The video has since attracted strong reactions online, with many expressing concern for the animal’s safety and condemning the driver’s actions.

One commenter claimed that the vehicle’s number plate had been handed over to the police, although it remains unclear whether any official action has been taken.

Another commenter expressed disappointment over the incident, saying they did not want Malaysia to become a country where animal cruelty is tolerated. They called for stronger enforcement and real consequences for animal abusers, questioning why action had yet to be taken despite evidence being available and reports being made.

Meanwhile, another social media user speculated that the driver could be a member of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), based on a sticker seen on the vehicle. However, this claim has not been officially confirmed.
