Two women are facing the wrath of Malaysians online after a video of them mimicking people with disabilities at a public restroom went viral.
The video was posted by TikTok user J0ker896 on Wednesday (Dec 8). It has garnered over 368,000 views and 4,000 comments.
The nine-second clip had two women, decked in their biking attire, gleefully impersonating people with disabilities as they ‘limped’ in and out of a handicap toilet.

Their in-video caption has the abbreviation OKU which refers to orang kurang upaya (people with disabilities).
It seemed like the women were implying that the handicap toilet was for them instead — as the first person pronoun in Malay, aku, and OKU sound similar.
Netizens blasted the women for their insensitive behaviour. <img alt="" data-caption=""May your actions become a reality."

On December 9, a disabled person responded to the viral video by uploading her own TikTok video.
She addressed the two women politely and said: “If God suddenly gave you or your grandkids disabilities, then you’ll know how it feels.
I just want to remind you to not make fun of God’s creation.”
