Man arrested within one hour of insulting cop on Facebook
KUANTAN: About an hour after insulting a traffic policewoman on his Facebook page, a man was arrested at a roadblock at Jalan Teluk Sisek here, early Saturday morning.
Kuantan police chief ACP Abdul Aziz Salleh said at around 12.30m, a 23-year-old man from Permatang Badak here was issued a summons at a roadblock by the policewoman for having a modified car exhaust system.
"The suspect, who was driving a Proton Satria Neo car, was reportedly unhappy with the action taken by the policewoman, leading him to insult her by making a post to his Facebook account.
"His posting was later discovered by a traffic personnel before informing the policewoman about it," he told reporters here.
Unaware that his action had been discovered by the police, the suspect passed through another police roadblock on his way home.
The suspect was arrested at that roadblock and was taken to the Kuantan Police Station for further investigations under Section 233(1) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
"We will hand over the case to the Communications and Multimedia Commission for further action," he said. - Bernama
