Motorist who berated officer questioned

SERDANG: Police have questioned a woman who was caught on video armed with a steering wheel lock and angrily confronting a Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) officer after her car was clamped for indiscriminate parking.

Serdang police chief ACP Megat Mohamad Aminuddin Megat Alias said yesterday that police questioned the woman, who is in her 40s, and also recorded a statement from her husband at 11pm on Saturday.

He said no arrest was made and the woman’s husband who is in his 50 had a valid disabled person identification card.

“We are wrapping up the investigation and will refer it to the deputy public prosecutor for further action. Give us space to investigate and we hope the media does not sensationalise the case as the couple are under a lot of stress.” he told reporters.

Megat Mohamad said the case is being investigated for criminal intimidation under Section 506 of the Penal Code.

In the 1pm incident in Bandar Puteri, Puchong on Wednesday, the woman was seen scolding the officer for clamping her car wheel and was about to tow the vehicle away. – by Charles Ramendran
