With the latter having made a police report over the incident which had gone viral last week on social media, the police had detained the errant motorist.

Yesterday, however, Subang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Azlin Sadari said the individual involved, East Ramadhani Zainudin, had since made a public apology on social media and the motorist who caught him on her dash cam video had forgiven him.

“No further action will be taken after both parties decided to settle the issue out of court,” Azlin was quoted as saying by the daily.

East said he had posted an apology on Facebook last Wednesday, expressing his regret for getting out of his car and making the obscene gesture at another motorist.

“What I did was unethical and unnecessary and it caused a big disruption. I am sorry to everyone that was involved,” his statement said.

He added that the vehicle he was seen driving in the viral video belonged to a friend.

“My behaviour affected my company’s reputation and also mine,” he said, according to The malay Mail.

The motorist, who made the report, has since accepted his apology, adding that the case had been concluded amicably.

“I urge Netizens not to make matters worse as both of us have agreed to forgive and forget,” Neysa Awar said in a Facebook statement.

Neysa had lodged a report last Tuesday after the man showed her the middle finger as he cut queue at the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong toll plaza.
