KUALA LUMPUR – An investigation has been opened into the incident depicted in a video purportedly showing Baling MP Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim’s son driving in Penang escorted by two traffic police officers.

In a statement today, Penang police chief Datuk Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the investigation will determine if there was misconduct committed by the two officers involved.

He added that the 20-second video uploaded by a user known as @anwarazeez showed a man driving and escorted by two traffic police officers on motorcycles belonging to the force.

It took place in Jalan Bukit Gambir, Penang.

Yesterday, Shuhaily told The Vibes that authorities are looking into the incident.

“We are looking into it and a media release will be done soon once we have clarified the facts.”

It was reported that one of the videos purportedly showed Azeez’s son Mohamed Khairul Anwar driving in Penang with two police escorts.

In one of the videos, which was posted as an Instagram story and has since expired, an officer appeared to stop an oncoming car looking to make a turn, allowing Khairul’s vehicle to run the red light.

The oncoming vehicle can be seen braking abruptly to avoid colliding with the outrider who is on a motorcycle in the recording. – The Vibes, May 8, 2022
