Passenger outraged after driver's spit hits her
A WOMAN took to social media to express her outrage after her e-hailing driver spat out the window – only for it to land on her, Kosmo! Online reported.
She claimed the driver had been coughing non-stop since she got into the vehicle and had spit out the window multiple times.
'Just a minute into the ride, he started coughing and some of it splashed on me. I felt like crying but we were already near my house,' she wrote.
The post went viral, with netizens slamming the driver's behaviour.
'This is not only dirty but also unethical,' commented Ahmad Sufardi.
E-hailing driver, Qhe Fafa, said, 'I hold back even when I need to sneeze. The moment the passengers are out of the car, I sneeze. It's about making passengers feel comfortable.'

Three fined for having gay porn content on phones
PETALING JAYA: Three individuals, including two students from higher education institutions, have been fined a total of RM11,000 after pleading guilty to having same-sex pornographic content on their phones. Al Azamuddin Al Fadzil, 22, from Setiawan, Perak and Mohamad Syahmi Firas Mohd Jurij, 27, from Bachok, Kelantan were fined RM4,000 each while Mohd Mohd Hanafi Ibrahim, 47, from Kota Baru was fined RM3,000 at the Kota Baru Magistrate's Court, Sinar Harian reported. The trio were charged with possessing the content on their phones in a house on Jalan Kemumin, Kampung Belacang, Kota Baru on June 18. Charges were filed under Section 292 of Penal Code, which brings a maximum jail term of three years, or a fine, or both, if convicted. The trio were released after paying the fines. This comes after police raided a bungalow in Kemumin, Kota Baru, where a "gay sex party" supposedly took place. The raid sparked controversy after several non-governmental organisations and individuals denied that any illicit activities took place. In a joint statement, Suaram, the Women's Aid Organisation, Parti Sosialis Malaysia and Amnesty International Malaysia refuted claims of immoral conduct, stating that "the participants attended to get information and undergo sexual health tests." The Malaysian AIDS Council also confirmed that a field engagement session was conducted on June 17 in Kota Baru under the Different HIV Services for Key Population programme, which is supported by the Health Ministry. Kelantan Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan has since called for a fair and thorough investigation into the matter.
