KUALA LUMPUR - AN OUTCRY has broken out in Malaysia after petrol kiosk attendants refused a man's frantic pleas to use a fire extinguisher to try to save a woman who was burning alive in her car.
The victim's Perodua Myvi caught fire early on Thursday in the Kuala Lumpur suburb of Cheras. The car had been badly mangled in an accident that also involved a lorry and a Toyota Vios.
Police identified the dead woman as Ms Florina, 27, a Sarawakian native and a student.
Bystander Teo Chai Yong, 31, heard her screams for help and drove to a BHPetrol fuel station about 500m away. His request to use a fire extinguisher kept behind a glass counter in the station was refused by two BHP workers on duty there.
'I saw four fire extinguishers behind the glass door,' Mr Teo was quoted as saying by The Star newspaper yesterday. 'An attendant was on the other side.'
The attendants could not see the accident and apparently did not understand the urgency of his request.

I actually agree with you on the above.

really destined to die, got saviour, got fire extinguishers but still cannot save.
why dont he just go into the flaming car and pull her out????
If you encountered something bad, probably they will not help you.
yeah...they will drive off to nearest supermarket or petrol station to get a hose or sumpthing.
how much petrol dores a car have anyway?
25 litres??
maybe they should have something that protects wearer from fire when grabbing victim out.
Why am I not surprised?

i think it's because due to the POOR build quality of the car, the woman must have been pinned under the dashboard or the door could have been crushed !
in fact, it's a miracle that anything can survive a crash in a Proton !
their cars are made of paper, right ?

Show us the pic
The petrol station staff must be feeling damn guily conscious now...
Poor woman...
Hurray! Burn the bitch, burn the bitch..... ![]()
to dog god,
proton seems ok.drove in an automatic proton car around quite a few times....seems like a good car.but if person gets trapped by wreckage.....thats a different story.but then one could smother all flames with a cloth and cut batteries off from bonnet...mebbe that wont start any flame.
or maybe the guy could take extinguisher first n talk later.....meanwhile more help would come with him from chasing him fer fire extinguisher.
Malaysia Boleh!
