A woman was arrested for allegedly writing the word "babi (pig)" instead of signing her name on a traffic summons issued to her at Jalan Tun Razak, Johor Bahru, last night.

The 43-year-old was issued a fine when she refused to move her gold-coloured Mercedes Benz vehicle, which was allegedly obstructing traffic.

She allegedly wrote the word "babi" in the signature section and said loudly that her name was "babi".

Johor Bahru district police chief confirmed the incident.

Police will seek a remand order for further investigation against the woman.

She is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person.
