Compiled by SHYAFIQ DZULKIFLI, C. ARUNO and R. ARAVINTHAN
THE man who went viral for dangerously driving a Perodua Axia with a load nearly the same size of the car strapped to the vehicle's roof has been arrested.
He was nabbed while driving along the Dengkil-Banting road, Harian Metro reported.
Sepang District police chief Asst Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman said a video of the driver and vehicle was posted on Facebook at 10am on May 19.
'Following the viral video, police managed to locate the vehicle about an hour later on the same road,' he said.
Initial investigations revealed that the 59-year-old driver possessed a valid driver's licence and the vehicle has all the necessary documents.
'The driver claimed that he was unwell at the time,' ACP Norhizam said, adding that further checks revealed that the driver had sustained head injuries from a road accident several years ago.
The man has since been released on police bail, while the vehicle has been seized for further inspection.

Teacher in viral sex video scandal lodges police report over spread of footage
ALOR GAJAH: The school teacher who was fined yesterday for attempting to engage in immoral conduct with a married electrician has lodged a police report after discovering that a video related to the incident had been circulated. District police chief Superintendent Ashari Abu Samah confirmed that the report was received on May 24. He said the case is being investigated under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. "Police have examined the mobile phones of the teacher and the electrician but did not find the video in question, which is believed to have already been deleted," he said when contacted. Ashari said investigations were still ongoing. Yesterday, the electrician whose real name is Muhammad Hairul Ezuan Hamzah, the teacher, Nur Fadilah Zainal, pleaded guilty at the Ayer Keroh Syariah High Court to a charge of attempting to commit an immoral act. Both were fined RM5,000 each, in default six months' imprisonment. Meanwhile, Melaka Education, Higher Education and Religious Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said the secondary school teacher has been placed at the state Education Department and has not been transferred to another school.

Terengganu JPV seizes 28 smuggled goats ahead of Aidiladha
KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu Department of Veterinary Services (JPV) seized 28 goats suspected to have been smuggled from a neighbouring country following the interception of a white Toyota Hiace van in Kampung Teris, Hulu Terengganu, at around 10am today. Its director Dr Anun Man said the operation was the result of several days of surveillance by enforcement officers who had tracked the vehicle from Kampung Gong Manok in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan. The suspects were caught after a brief chase. 'The smugglers used a van to avoid detection, and its closed structure made it difficult for authorities to identify any suspicious activity,' he told a press conference here today, adding that the seized goats and van are estimated to be worth RM86,000. Two male suspects in their 50s were arrested and are being investigated under Section 36(1) of the Animals Act 1953, which carries a fine of up to RM15,000. Dr Anun said the goats were likely intended for the Terengganu or national market, given the high demand for livestock ahead of Hari Raya Aidiladha next week. He expressed concern that some of the animals showed signs of illness such as coughing, runny noses, and foaming at the mouth, raising fears of contagious diseases like foot and mouth disease (FMD). 'We want to ensure animals used for korban are healthy and safe, not diseased. 'Terengganu JPV will step up enforcement to prevent illegal livestock movement into the state, especially in the lead-up to Aidiladha,' he added. So far this year, 13 such cases have been foiled, involving 78 cows, 46 sheep, and seven goats.

Teacher in Alor Gajah affair controversy lodges report over leaked video
ALOR GAJAH: A 31-year-old female teacher at the centre of controversy surrounding an alleged extramarital affair has lodged a police report, claiming that an intimate video of her has gone viral. Alor Gajah OCPD Supt Ashari Abu Samah said the teacher lodged a report here recently as she was dissatisfied upon discovering that her intimate video had been circulated. He said police have opened an investigation under Section 509 of the Penal Code for insulting the modesty of a person and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. "However, we have yet to trace the video in question," he said on Saturday (May 31). Supt Ashari added that the investigation will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further instructions. On Friday (May 30), the teacher and a male wiring technician were each fined the maximum amount of RM5,000 by the Melaka Syariah High Court for attempting to commit adultery. The case had previously attracted widespread attention on social media when the female teacher issued a public apology amid allegations of an affair with a 31-year-old married man, known online as "abang wiring". The matter sparked public outrage after screenshots of lewd and inappropriate conversations between the two went viral on WhatsApp.
