Outrage: The picture caused a stir on Malaysian social media (CEN)

A picture of the youngster was posted online by a social media user named ‘Winn Tan’, who said he sat there quietly by the roadside in a downtown area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The incident reportedly took place in Jalan Kuchai Lama business area of the city, which is notorious for its rush-hour traffic - and for the fact that it is very difficult to get a parking spot.

Winn Tan claimed the boy had to wait for almost half an hour before his mother came back with the car.
