KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — A local car dealership has suspended its staff and offered an undisclosed “resolution” to a customer after a viral dashcam video captured technicians vaping and hurling profanities inside a vehicle, including a  taunt for the owner to “go and die”.

The incident, which took place at the Icon Jco Puchong (Omoda and Jaecoo) service centre, sparked public outrage after the footage was shared across social media platforms.

The video showed several technicians behaving inappropriately while discussing the customer’s car.

In this, one technician was recorded swearing at the owner. When a colleague pointed out that the dashcam was recording their conversation, the technician reportedly retorted: “Go and die, there is nothing to be afraid of.”

In an initial statement issued on March 14, the management of Icon Jco Puchong confirmed they were aware of the footage, which also showed staff vaping inside the customer’s vehicle.

“We would like to make it clear that such behaviour, including disrespectful language and vaping inside a customer’s vehicle, is strictly against our company standards and will not be tolerated,” the company said.

The dealership confirmed that the involved staff members were immediately suspended pending a full internal investigation.
