A dramatic incident unfolded in Malaysia and has since gone viral online, raising public concern over the dangers of driving under the influence of new synthetic drugs. The case, believed to have taken place on the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) Expressway in Johor Bahru, involved a tattooed Chinese man, who allegedly lost control of his vehicle while high on an electronic vape suspected to contain “Happy Water,” a type of new-generation synthetic drug.
In the viral footage circulating on social media, the man is seen sitting dazed inside a Proton Axia, erratically rocking the steering wheel. His disoriented behavior raised immediate suspicion, especially from the angry driver of the SUV he had just collided with. The victim, clearly agitated, is heard off-camera confronting the tattooed man repeatedly: “Are you on Happy Water?” and “Is this how you drive?!”
Despite the aggressive questioning, the tattooed man vehemently denied taking drugs and initially refused to step out of the vehicle. The tension escalated when the SUV driver turned to the passenger in the car for clarification. The passenger gave a hesitant reply: “He took Happy Water.” This confirmation led the angry man to demand the driver stop the car and get out immediately, fearing he might flee the scene.
Once the tattooed man exited the vehicle, he continued to deny drug use, responding with defiance and asking, “So what now?” This sparked an even harsher reaction from the victim, who responded firmly: “Call the police now!”
The viral video ends with the SUV driver expressing his frustration, stating he “hates drug users the most,” and questioning the inaction of the passenger: “Why didn’t you stop him?” The passenger responded: “I tried to pull him back.”
The incident quickly drew intense discussion across social media platforms. While many users were outraged by the suspect’s behavior, others focused their attention on the volume and anger of the SUV driver, with sarcastic comments like: “Yelling won’t help,” and “You can scream all the way to KL and it still won’t change anything!” Others asked: “Why not just call the police in the first place?”
On the law enforcement front, a local media outlet contacted the head of Johor Bahru South Police District, Assistant Commissioner Raub, who said that police would verify the contents of the video before issuing an official statement.
This incident sheds light on the growing issue of synthetic drug use among drivers, especially substances like Happy Water, which is reportedly used recreationally in Southeast Asia. The case has reignited debates about road safety, drug enforcement, and public accountability in Malaysia, especially as such footage gains traction online.
