Police receive report from lorry driver involved in Kempas toll booth brawl
JOHOR BARU: Police have received a report from one of the two men involved in an altercation which took place at the Kempas toll booth on June 8 at 2.30pm. Johor Baru North OCPD Asst Comm Balveer Singh said the report was lodged by the 31-year-old local man at 5.35pm on the same day the incident happened. He said the physical intimidation involved the 31-year-old lorry driver and an unidentified man, believed to be a passenger of a Proton Wira car. 'Our initial investigation found the lorry driver had honked at the car in front of him at the toll lane,'' ACP Balveer said in a statement on Friday (June 13). He said the lorry driver had done that as the driver of the car did not move after paying his toll, although the toll barrier had lifted. ACP Balveer said, angered by the sound of the horn, a man exited from the car's passenger seat and approached the lorry to confront the driver. 'The man demanded that the lorry driver open the door. Once it was opened, the man entered the lorry and hit the driver's face and head several times,'' he added. ACP Balveer said the lorry driver retaliated in self-defence by kicking the man, forcing the man to leave. He said the video of the incident was uploaded by a Facebook account holder 'Ingat Mati' at share/v/1YTaPrs4 ACP Balveer said the case is being investigated under Section 160 of the Penal Code. He also called upon those with information on the incident to call the Johor Baru North Police Contingent at 07-5563122.

Singaporean to be charged today over viral Johor road rage incident
JOHOR BARU: A Singaporean man arrested over a road rage incident last Saturday, which was caught in a clip that went viral on social media, will be charged in the magistrate's court here today. The 40-year-old is expected to face charges under Section 426 of the Penal Code for mischief, which carries a penalty of up to three months' imprisonment, a fine, or both; and Section 509 for using words or gestures intended to insult another's modesty, an offence punishable by up to five years' jail, a fine, or both. Johor Baru (North) police chief Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh confirmed that the man will be brought to court at 9am. He was arrested at 6.20pm on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the 31-year-old Malaysian BMW driver lodged a police report over the alleged road rage incident, which occurred near Taman Ungku Tun Aminah in Skudai at 2.39pm on June 7. The altercation reportedly began when the suspect, who was driving a Singapore-registered Toyota Altis, allegedly honked repeatedly and tailgated the BMW, seemingly upset about being obstructed. The confrontation escalated when the suspect allegedly exited his vehicle, kicked the BMW and verbally insulted the driver.
