JOHOR BAHRU: Police in Malaysia have arrested two men who are suspected to have posed as police personnel and mounted an expressway car chase in which they allegedly tailed a driver who was travelling from Singapore to Genting Highlands.
Investigations were launched after the Kulai police department received a report on Monday (Jun 5) regarding footage of the incident that was widely shared on social media.
The incident is believed to have taken place along the North-South Highway near the Sedenak exit in Kulai, which is in the state of Johor.
In a statement released on Tuesday morning, Johor police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat confirmed that two Malaysian men, aged 43 and 48, were arrested during a police operation at 6pm the previous day.
“One of the suspects is a civil servant,” said Mr Kamarul Zaman, without specifying details.
He added that based on police records, one of the two men arrested was previously convicted of drug-related offences.
