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.
