On 4 March, four motorcycles lost control in the parking lot of a mall in Johor Bahru under 30 minutes due to oil puddles on the ground
China Press reported that three out of the four motorcycles involved in the incident were from Singapore, with a total of five passengers.
According to victims, the oil puddles were located near the entrance of the parking lot.
One couple was thrown off as their motorcycle skidded across the oily parking lot
"I was leaving the mall with my wife before I realised there were oil puddles near the parking lot's exit," Mr. Chai was quoted as saying by China Press.
"We couldn't avoid the puddles in time, so our motorcycle skidded and we were thrown off as well," he added.
Mr. Chai sustained injuries on his right arm and leg, while his wife had a bruised kneecap.
Two Singaporeans were injured as well just five minutes before Mr. Chai and his wife
Mr. Liu, a Singaporean, said that people could easily fall on the parking lot's oily ground.
"There were no signs in place to warn people about the oily ground, and the employee at the scene did not tell other motorcyclists about the incidents as well," he said.
He added that this caused six motorcyclists to sustain injuries under 30 minutes. Five of the six victims were Singaporeans.
According to the victims, not only did the employee do nothing to help them, he also began insulting them for riding motorcycles
The victims Mr. Chai, Mr. Liu, and Ms. Chew expressed their frustration at the mall's employee.

According to Mr. Liu, the employee also said he was lucky to not have fallen because he drove a car.
