DOMESTIC abuse is no laughing matter. Even if it is a few stern words, it can be a warning sign that all is not well. Failure to nip it in the bud can be a recipe for disaster for this may lead to a near future domestic violence.
This was the perception of many regarding a clip that has gone viral featuring a very loud and angry man berating his spouse and kid at Senai Aiport in Johor.
The cause of the argument is unknown but the fact that the husband saw no issue raising his voice when admonishing his apparently in-the-middle of working wife in public was a red flag for many netizens.

The child could be seen crying while the wife was nearly in tears as well from the verbal abuse. Many expressed concern for the safety of the both wife and kid as they were seen riding away with the man post-argument.
Shared on the Mingguan Wanita Facebook Reel, the post has generated 13K likes, 7.1K comments and 3.5K shares, reflecting that domestic violence is not taken lightly here. In fact, many women folks were eager to share their two sen worth with both spouses.
The top suggestion was for the woman to just run away from this toxic relationship.
One comment that got plenty of traction advised men who are unable to properly care for a wife to avoid getting married and ruining another person’s life. “A husband’s role is to be a protector for the wife and child, not abuser,” advised this concerned lady.
The men who supported the hubby in the video or who were triggered by various negative comments were simply labelled “useless”.
Recognising the accent, a fellow Sabahan implored the husband to not give a bad name to people from the state.
However, many commenters corrected the lady’s perception that this is not a state nor racial matter but that of an individual issue which can be summed up as “don’t marry if you can’t afford to support your wife (financially)”.
After all, such behaviour was utterly unacceptable especially given the wife was subjected to such abuse when she was out earning a living.
However, one took offence to the comment linking this bad-tempered male with other Sabah men. She was of the opinion that majority of Sabahan dads were good men who took good care of their families.
The fact that the wife was out toiling at work was seized upon by some observers that she truly did not deserve such treatment.
Quite a few commenters certainly felt that the husband was undeserving to his breadwinner wife. One even surmised that it was better for the lady to be without a spouse.
It was also surmised that this is how such abusive behaviour gets passed on down the line to sons and grandsons.
All said and done, domestic violence is a no-no whether physical, emotional or verbal. The fact that this poor excuse of a husband and father saw fit to let loose in public reflects badly on his moral fibre. – June 19, 2026
