“The case is still under investigation to track down the suspect and the car owner, as well as to identify the TikTok account holder through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to assist with the investigation,” he said in a statement.

Police are working with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to identify the TikTok account holder in order to assist the investigation.
