Lackadaisical attitude among many Malaysians knows no boundaries, especially when fuelling their car at a petrol station. Some like to leave their keys in the ignition while fuelling the car, which gives the carjackers a golden opportunity. This is exactly what happened in a Shell station at  Taman Impian Emas, Skudai recently.

In a video posted by user AllAboutUsBlog in YouTube on Saturday, 7th June 2014, a driver left his car unattended at one of the booths, which was later jacked by an unknown man. A CCTV camera recorded the whole incident.
