If you didn’t already watch it, there has been a video going viral on social media showing two neighbours in Puchong, Selangor getting into an altercation over one of them parking a helicopter in his driveway.
No, seriously!
The conversation went, "Hello 'Datuk Seri', you park cars, motorcycles at home, now a helicopter."
To which the owner replied, “Why? Am I not allowed to park a helicopter at home?” before the pair started shouting profanities and then shoving each other.
A younger man is then seen breaking up the fight, as the video was recorded by a bystander, possibly another neighbour.
According to The Sun Daily, the owner of the helicopter runs tow truck and aircraft-for-hire services, and is also involved in the business of extreme sports, such as paragliding and skydiving.
“I had brought the aircraft by road on a tow truck on Tuesday and parked it inside the compound of my house as I wanted to use it to shoot an advertisement. It is not like I flew it into my house nor was it obstructing anyone’s house.”
“I was celebrating my birthday and later my relatives wanted to take photos and my neighbour suddenly got upset. He has since apologised to me for his outburst and the matter has been put to rest,” he explained.
Meanwhile, it’s understood the management of the gated community was also opposed to him parking his helicopter at his house and had lodged a police report.
However, police confirmed it was just a misunderstanding.
“I went to his house (the man with the helicopter) this morning and everything is alright. They are friends who were drinking last night and it was just a misunderstanding,” Serdang district police chief Razali Abu Samah told Free Malaysia Today.
He added that it is not an offence to park a helicopter at one’s own home.
We’re still not sure what the takeaway from this story is, but at least you now know that if you ever decide to buy a helicopter, you’re allowed to park it at home.
