A frustrated customer took extreme measures and attacked two Digi service centres in Sibu, Sarawak yesterday, 13 March
Photos and videos circulating on social media revealed that a man had gone to two different Digi service centres in Sibu to demonstrate his dissatisfaction against the local telco.
However, he took things too far as he smashed all the glass panels in both stores and destroyed everything else in sight before leaving in haste.
It is believed that the man was unhappy that his prepaid credit was deducted RM4 each day, Berita Harian reported.
Video recordings of the incidents depict how the man used a golf club to damage the Digi stores in his attacks
According to media reports, the man arrived at the Digi store in Medan Mall on a motorcycle at about 1.50pm and proceeded to carry out his attack.

The closed-circuit television (CCTV) recordings at the two different scenes confirmed that the same man had attacked both outlets.
It was reported that a security guard at one of the premises sustained minor injuries to his right ear. Thankfully, no other employees or customers were hurt in these incidents.
