Post mocking 'B40 filming plane landings' draws backlash online
A woman has been criticised by social media users after linking the habit of recording videos during aircraft landings to the B40 income group.
PETALING JAYA – A social media post questioning why people from the B40 income group like to record videos when an aircraft lands has drawn widespread criticism from the public.
"Why do B40 people love recording videos when the plane lands? Do they rarely travel?" the woman wrote in the post.
The remark questioned the actions of some passengers who film aircraft landings, while linking the habit to the lower-income group.
However, the post — believed to be an attempt to poke fun at the B40 group — backfired, with the woman heavily criticised by members of the public in the comments section.
Some insisted the habit was not exclusive to the B40 group, saying passengers of various backgrounds do the same.
Others slammed the woman for what they described as belittling others in order to gain attention on social media.
"Acting like T20 when you are B40 yourself. Did they film or take photos using your phone? Such a fine habit, taking pictures of people and then posting them," user @Surahaini wrote.
"Is it wrong for me as a B40 to record or take photos? We are B40. Alhamdulillah, I have travelled to 100 countries," said @June_kie88.
Another user, who said she was a cabin crew member, also responded.
"Even I as crew still like to record, sis. I pity you, it is so obvious you are unhappy with your own life," said @Fellayunda.
There has been no further response from the woman on the criticism she received. (Quotes translated from Malay.) – KOSMO! ONLINE
