Viral video: No reports lodged on driver confronting motorist - cops

No police report has been lodged over the incident of a Johor lawmaker’s driver stopping a motorist in the middle of the road which went viral on social media.

Johor Bahru Selatan police chief Raub Selamat said a review showed that the incident happened on Dec 12 last year.

“A review found that no police report was made regarding this incident in the Johor Bahru Selatan district police headquarters area.

“A rough observation of the video on TikTok shows that the incident likely happened on Dec 12 in 2023 at 8.33pm as recorded in the dash cam recording,” he said when contacted today.

Earlier, the one-minute 28-second video showed the driver of the car stopping another motorist in the middle of the road which was seen making a U-turn and entering his path.

The male driver then stepped out of the vehicle and reprimanded the motorist who allegedly did not signal to enter his lane.

Meanwhile, Johor state executive councillor in charge of investment, trade, consumer affairs, and human resources Lee Ting Han recalled that his driver was reprimanded and warned by the state administration over the incident.

He also said he was not in the car during the incident.

“According to (my) driver, his action was to advise the driver of the vehicle for driving dangerously.

“Perhaps his curt manner and ominous tone of voice were a bit inappropriate and he has been warned by the state government management.

“He has also been asked to cooperate if there is a police report made regarding the incident,” Lee said when contacted.

At the same time, he apologised on behalf of the driver of his official vehicle if the incident caused any misunderstanding.
