It has been a colourful day for Siti Fairrah Asyikin Kamaruddin, going from a being "much awaited" guest at least four radio stations, to later being held by police for questioning.

Kuantan district police chief Abdul Aziz Saleh said the woman who gained infamy for losing her cool against a senior citizen is held for investigations.

She is investigated under Sections 427 and 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.

According to Bernama , Siti Fairrah Asyikin, who goes by the nickname Kiki, will be held as long as required for the investigation.

Abdul Aziz also said that police are looking for the steering lock she used to hit 68-year-old retiree Sim Siak Hong's car, as Kiki had discarded it "somewhere in Kuantan".

 

This morning alone, she was interviewed by Malay radio station Era FM , Chinese radio station My FM ( left ) as well English radio stations Hitz FM and Fly FM .

In a phone call made by Fly FM to Kiki, the 30-year-old admitted that she did not expect the incident to go viral.

Kiki on Monday was caught verbally abusing Sim and repeatedly hitting his car with a steering lock after a fender bender in a viral video.

“Everything was settled when I made the police report. Even uncle (Sim) said he will not make a police report regarding what I did.”

She conceded that the incident was the “biggest mistake in her life”, explaining that she was too emotional at that time.

On her reason for being upset, Kiki said the car was bought as a birthday reward for herself.

“It has sentimental value on how I’ve worked so hard to build my company. That’s why I was so angry at that time,” she said.

She, however, stressed that she did not want to hit Sim, and managed to control herself from doing so as she feared the repercussions.

Kiki also expressed hope for all Malaysians to forgive her over the incident.

“I hope Malaysians will understand me. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t control myself at that time.

“I know my mistake, I had admitted it at the police station. I even told him (Sim) he can come to my house during Hari Raya and we can cook for him,” she said.

Crowd stood by me, says uncle

Sim, through another phone call, said he did not want to press charges against her as he believes that “love must be shown even to those who have harmed us”.

“I’ll just repair the damage on my car using my own money. Or I may not even repair the car and regard it (damage) as a souvenir,” he said in jest.

Expressing his gratitude over the crowd who was there to support him, the 68-year-old said the incident really showed a true 1Malaysia.

“Her father came scolding me and even wanted to wallop me. But the crowd was supportive.

“They told me not to be scared and that they supported me. They even said they’ll hit him back if he hit me,” he said.
