PETALING JAYA:
The incident where a woman wielding a steering lock and screaming angrily at a municipal council officer, which went viral in a video on social media, will be investigated by police.

Serdang police chief ACP Megat Mohamad Aminuddin Megat Alias said the woman would be investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, reported the New Straits Times.

He said the incident took place when a Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) officer was about to tow a woman’s vehicle which was parked in a lot reserved for the disabled at Jalan Puteri ¼, Bandar Puteri Puchong at 1pm.

He said the woman confronted the officer wielding a steering lock and shouted at the officer who explained to her calmly that she had parked in a wrong spot.

The woman angrily retorted that she had nowhere else to park and that she was buying food for her disabled husband.

When asked for an OKU card, the woman, however, failed to produce the card.

Megat said despite the explanation, the woman continued with her angry tirade while waving the steering lock at the officer.

“The car was towed to an MPSJ depot in Puchong. At 2.45pm, the woman’s husband went to the depot and paid the fine,” he said.

He said the woman’s husband also apologised for his wife’s unruly behaviour.

Megat said the MPSJ officer had lodged a report over the incident.
