KANGAR – A deliveryman was remanded one day for verbally abusing Road Transport Department (RTD) personnel at a roadblock at Km 1 Jalan Dato Wan Ahmad, near here, last night.
Kangar district police chief Wari Kiew said the 25-year-old man in a Perodua Kancil was stopped at 10.10pm for not wearing the seatbelt.
“When asked by RTD officers to go to the road shoulder to sign a summons, he refused and instead ran towards policemen at a canopy and hurled abusive words at them,” he said today.
The man is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing civil servants from performing their duties.
If convicted, he is liable to be jailed up to two years or fined a maximum RM10,000, or both. – Bernama, January 20, 2021
