The Bentong police have opened an investigation paper concerning a viral video showing a group of vehicle owners driving recklessly on the Genting Highlands road.
According to Bentong District Police Chief Superintendent Zaiham Mohd Kahar, the video footage came to their attention after being shared by the public via private messages on the Bentong Police Facebook page.
“As a result of the investigation, the video clip was found to have been uploaded on social media.
“There are several recordings showing activities believed to be carried out by a group of vehicle owners driving dangerously on the bends of Genting Highlands Road, causing concern and anxiety among the community,” he said in a statement.
In response, Zaiham said that the police have initiated an investigation under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act (RTA) 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving in public.
He urged members of the public who witnessed the incident and have information to come forward to assist the police in their investigation.
He added that the police would take firm action and conduct integrated operations in the area, particularly during weekends and public holidays, when it is believed that vehicle owners tend to engage in disruptive activities that upset other road users.
