Over a phone interview with xinmsn on Friday night, Pierre Png and his wife shared that they was “shocked” at how things were blown out of proportion by a local driver, who had sent in a photo of the actor and his stationary vehicle to the website.

According to Pierre Png who was driving along the PIE (Pan Island Expressway) on Friday afternoon, he indicated his intention to switch lanes and did so when “all of the sudden, I saw a car that was initially two cars from me, speed up to just the back of my car.”

Calling it a “close brush” Pierre Png added, “He almost rammed into the back of my car. I decided to slow down to see if our vehicle was bumped.”

“Before I got out of the car, I thought the guy had flicked the finger. When I got out and walked to the other car, the guy showed me the middle finger. I asked him ‘What’s going on? Why flick the finger?’ The driver looked away, refused to explain what just happened, and maintained ignorance.”

“I decided to take pictures of his license plate because we originally intended to report the incident to the traffic police,” said Pierre Png.

Commenting on the incident which lasted for “less than two minutes”, Pierre Png said that he is “disappointed” at the way things have turned out.

“I initially decided to overlook the whole thing after we drove off. However, now that the matter has been blown out of proportion, I am intending to make a police report.”
