The suspect is a 33-year-old factory operator. PDRM has also confiscated the Proton Wira featured in the viral video.

Mohd Padzli emphasised the suspect’s actions in the video not only put himself in danger but puts other road user’s safety at risk as well.
The suspect not only took advantage of the Bomba’s presence to get out of traffic but he also issued orders to other road users without authority.
