ANYONE who worked long enough in the corporate world can attest to the fact that things can get really heated in the office.
But when the temperature gets a little too high for civility, is it justified for fists to fly?
A recent video that has been circulating extensively on the cyberspace explores this topic in greater detail.
Posted by netizen @kamaghul, the shocking footage reveals a man beating up a woman right in front of the camera.
But this is no marital abuse, but a brutal act committed by an employer towards an employee.
We suppose there are many things a manager could do to make life hell for his staff, but physical abuse is just too much, not only through the lens of the public, but the lens of the law.
Bangsat betul majikan yang berani angkat tangan dekat perempuan ni.
Katanya sebab tak jumpa dokumen yang nak dicari & bukan staff tu yang simpankan 😅 pic.twitter.com/wKp014sLbd

But netizen @NakamuraMagnus who watched the video had another opinion regarding the incident. According to him, the ladies should keep quiet since not all males are patient.
“Don’t provoke. Guys with mental illness are ready to kill,” @NakamuraMagnus cautioned.
Towards this comment, @maisrh_rhmn said that @NakamuraMagnus would be the kind of person to advise his mother not to provoke people even if she was being beaten or getting killed.
Another netizen said it was wrong to beat the lady but pointed out that she could have provoked him. “The guy appears to look back and hit the lady. But still, I don’t believe in him beating her,” @Awansaw said.
According to @kamaghul, the victim already made a police report.
Strangely, the conversation took on a racist undertone with @mineurbisnes stating that Malay companies are red flags. “That is why if there is a phone call, I will ask the race of the owner or the boss,” he said.
However, @liyana_frh rebutted his statement, saying that she had worked in four Malay owned companies and all of them were alright. “Don’t generalise like this. It is not good,” she said.
On another note, netizen @kentang_gorengs who may have some bad experience said most employers use interns as they don’t have to make contributions.
Perhaps @arianazulkifli best sums up the situation with her short but succinct comment, “Provoke or not provoke, what right has he to beat?” —May 30, 2025
