Police cite technical fault for unlit patrol car
JOHOR BARU: Police said a technical failure had rendered a patrol vehicle immobile after a viral Facebook video showed a man confronting two policemen over the car, which was parked without warning lights outside a sports complex in the early hours of the morning. The 12-second clip, uploaded on Facebook, showed a man questioning the policemen about the presence of their stalled police vehicle. "The technical failure caused all external and signal lights, including the beacon, to shut down, rendering the vehicle immobile," Johor Baru (South) police chief Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat said. "While awaiting maintenance support, a man driving a private vehicle stopped, approached the officers, and began questioning their presence and recording the exchange. Despite the officers explaining the situation, he continued to provoke them before driving off," he added. The incident occurred at around 4am while two policemen from the Taman Setia Indah police station were on a routine crime prevention patrol. Their Proton Waja mobile patrol vehicle (MPV) broke down due to a wiring malfunction.

Cops berated over patrol car breakdown in viral dashcam clip
JOHOR BARU: A man was caught on dashcam berating two police officers after their patrol car broke down along a dark stretch of the road at Jalan Austin Heights 7/4 on June 15. Johor Baru (South) police chief Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat said the 12-second clip, uploaded on Facebook, showed the man questioning the presence of uniformed police officers stationed in front of a sports complex. The man, who pulled up next to the stalled patrol car, lashed out at the officers for not turning on the hazard lights, claiming it was dangerous and could cause an accident. He was heard saying, "How can you stop here? You don't even have your brake lights on... I was shocked." Raub said the 4am incident occurred when two officers from the Taman Setia Indah police station were on a routine crime prevention patrol when their Proton Waja mobile patrol vehicle (MPV) suffered a wiring malfunction. "The technical failure caused all external and signal lights, including the beacon, to shut down, rendering the vehicle immobile. "While awaiting maintenance support, a man driving a private vehicle stopped, approached the officers, and began questioning their presence and recording the exchange. Despite the officers explaining the situation, he continued to provoke them before driving off," Raub said in a statement today. "No police reports were lodged, but we have taken steps to prevent similar misunderstandings in future," he said. Raub urged the public not to speculate or spread false information about the incident. Any inquiries should be directed to the district police headquarters at 07-2182323.
