KUALA LUMPUR – Videos of outriders escorting the son of Baling MP Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim through the streets of Penang are being investigated by police.

One video in question was posted by an Instagram account with the handle @anwarazeez yesterday, showing Azeez’s son Mohamed Khairul Anwar driving in Penang with two police outriders.

In one of the videos, which was posted as an Instagram story and has since expired, an outrider 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.

Penang police chief Datuk Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain 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.”

Shuhaily did not comment when asked if Khairul was on government business that might have required a police escort.

It is believed that Khairul was in Penang for his wedding. – The Vibes, May 7, 2022
