CCTV footage of a 28-year-old Malaysian girl fighting back a snatch thief at her house has gone viral.
Germaine Yeap was coming back from work when a motorcyclist tried to take her bag.
The video sparked a debate about self-defence online, with many viewers arguing they would have given up their bag if they found themselves in a similar situation.
Ms Yeap said she hopes the clip will inspire women to learn self-defence skills.
‘In the video, I fought back because I assessed the situation with my muay thai training and knew that I could take him down,’ she explained, according to UK Metro.
She revealed the clip, which has racked up more than 1,280,000 hits online, was staged to promote a Malaysian crime awareness campaign.
