PETALING JAYA, Oct 17 — A Malaysian user has reported what could be the first case of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fire. Robson Ng shared his experience on Facebook yesterday. Tagging Samsung Malaysia, Ng said the phone caught fire at 4am while he was driving home with his wife on a highway, Sarcastically thanking the company for the experience, he said: “I had the opportunity to prove to my wife I am able to handle just about any emergency situation, i.e. able to be in control while having Note7 smoke & fire in the car...” His post was widely shared, inviting much criticism against the company. In his post he also said that he was able to safely stop his car at an emergency lane without knocking any vehicle and putting out the fire before his car got burned. “I was able to stay cool with blinded vision and suffocating heavy white smoke while the car cruised, able to safely stop a moving car with minimal vision at emergency lane without knocking any other vehicles, and able to put out Note7 fire safely before my car got charred. Hope I’ve passed this Samsung situational exam and no more re-certification required. What a Samsung experience...”
