Pics of ‘police car’ obstructing traffic at Ipoh’s Polo Ground – cops now looking for owner of images
Images of a Proton Saga parked on the road and obstructing traffic were circulating on social media yesterday. While inconsiderate motorists who park without a care are a common sight, what’s unusual here is a police vest put prominently on the Saga’s dashboard, not a phone number.
Needless to say, the comments weren’t kind and the cops have been alerted to it. Ipoh folks might recognise the background and the stalls to be from the Polo Ground, and it is indeed Persiaran Brash, which is one lane each direction. Therefore, any car parked on the road would create a bottleneck. Question is would a real cop do this, or was it an impostor?
Ipoh police chief Yahaya Hassan has released a statement saying his men are now looking for the individual who took the pictures to help identify the owner of the viral Saga. The owner of the pics is urged to get in touch with Ipoh JSPT chief Koo Boon Kuat at 016-4173222 to assist investigations. “Police would like to advice the public to not make any speculation on the contents of the post until it affects investigations and the reputation of PDRM,” the statement added.
Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats. He has been in the auto industry since 2006, previously filling the pages of two motoring magazines before joining this website. Enjoys detailing the experience more than the technical details.
