4WD repeatedly rams BN campaign workers' car, police investigating

GE15 | A vehicle used by BN campaign workers was rammed from behind and followed by a four-wheel drive in several locations that started in Taman Mount Austin in Johor Bahru early yesterday morning.

Johor Umno working secretary Pandak Ahmad said after being hit by the Mitsubishi Triton at about 4am, the campaign workers in the Proton Gen 2 car panicked and drove away.

However, he said, they were followed by the four-wheel drive and several other vehicles and once again rammed from behind at Jalan Nibong 13, Taman Daya.

“The workers did not dare to leave the car and continued to drive away but their car was still followed by the four-wheel drive and was hit a third time when they arrived at Adda Heights,” Pandak said when contacted by Bernama yesterday.

He described the action as an unhealthy political culture, adding that a police report had been lodged at the Setia Indah Police Station.

Pandak also expressed his disappointment after a BN billboard in Bandar Selesa Jaya in Johor Bahru was vandalised and destroyed by irresponsible parties early yesterday morning.

South Johor Bahru District police chief ACP Raub Selamat and Iskandar Puteri district police chief ACP Rahmat Ariffin when contacted confirmed both incidents, adding that investigations were underway.

Meanwhile, a 32-year-old man was arrested at Taman Universiti Skudai for allegedly burning a political party flag by the roadside on Tuesday midnight.

Johor Bahru North District deputy police chief Supt Fariz Ammar Abdullah said investigations found that the e-hailing driver committed the offence due to personal reasons and did not involve other parties.
