A 29-year-old Singaporean woman was arrested following an alleged altercation with traffic police officers at a roadblock in Malaysia. The incident occurred on the evening of September 27 at the Second Link, the expressway connecting Tuas in Singapore to Gelang Patah in Johor.
According to the Iskandar Puteri police chief, the woman's car was stopped at the roadblock located at the 3.8-kilometer mark of the highway at approximately 8:30 PM. During the inspection, officers determined that her vehicle had an illegally modified exhaust system and proceeded to issue a summons. It was at this point that the situation escalated.
The police statement reported that the suspect refused to cooperate with the officers. After being informed that she would receive the summons for the traffic violation, she allegedly began hurling abusive words at the police personnel on duty. Her conduct led to her immediate arrest at the scene.
The case is now under investigation for multiple offences under Malaysian law. The primary charge is under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant from carrying out their duty. This offence is punishable by a jail term of up to two years, a fine of up to 10,000 Malaysian Ringgit, or both upon conviction.
Additionally, she is being investigated under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act for using insulting words intended to hurt feelings or cause a breach of peace, which carries a maximum fine of 100 Malaysian Ringgit. A third investigation has been initiated under the Immigration Act for allegedly not having valid documents to remain in Malaysia, an offence that carries a penalty of up to five years' imprisonment, a fine, or whipping.
The police chief used the incident to remind the public of the importance of obeying the law and cooperating with police officers during the execution of their duties. The woman remains under investigation while authorities process the various charges against her.
