Driver of embassy car holds up traffic -- then challenges others to call police 
STOMPer ACDC says the driver of this embassy car took his time loading goods into his vehicle and held up the traffic outside Mustafa Shopping Centre despite being repeatedly honked at, before challenging another driver to call the cops.
The driver had also apparently made rude gestures at other motorists and pointed his middle finger at the STOMPer.
ACDC said:
"I witnessed a case of road rage by the chauffeur of a diplomatic vehicle.
"This incident happened on Apr 11 at about 6:25pm along Syed Alwi Road just outside Mustafa Shopping Centre.
"The road was under heavy construction and only one lane was passable to traffic.
"The driver of this Toyota Alphard S2911CD wearing a long sleeved batik shirt -- which I believe is from the Indonesian Embassy -- was loading a trolley full of groceries into this vehicle.
"However, he was totally oblivious to the traffic which was building up behind him.
"The drivers at the back started to get impatient after nearly eight minutes of waiting. I stood there watching as the honking grew incessantly louder and louder.
"However, this driver still took his time to load up his goods, ignoring everyone else. Even the security officers outside Mustafa came to assist him.|
"When he finally finished loading, he made a rude gesture to the car behind him and also to the rest of the waiting cars.
"He then drove off very very slowly, with the intention of agitating the already impatient line of cars behind.
"That was when I had the opportunity to snap these shots.
"He even showed me his middle finger as he drove pass me.
"A lorry driver behind him was furious as he continued to drive slowly amid the non-stop honking. When the lorry managed to overtake him, the diplomatic vehicle driver came down and they both exchanged angry words.
"I could hear this chauffeur shouting, 'I am driving CD car, you call police lah, I scared ah?!?!'
"Meaning, 'I am driving a diplomatic vehicle belonging to a diplomatic person, you can call the police all you want.'
"The quarrel ended after a couple of minutes and both drivers left the scene.
"In essence, the driver was trying to insinuate that diplomatic vehicles and drivers are not scared of the law and that they do as they please.
"Is this true? Any verification if these guys are above the law?"
