Selama police chief Sarudin Samah said the 76-year-old man was arrested to assist in the investigation under Section 28A of the Road Transport Act 1987, which pertains to foreign driving licences.

“However, the suspect has been released on police bail due to his advanced age and health issues. The case has been referred to the deputy public prosecutor,” Bernama quoted him as saying today.

Sarudin said police received information about the accident, involving a motorcycle ridden by a 45-year-old woman, at 9.35am on Sunday. She was initially believed to have lost control of the motorcycle, fell onto the road and became unconscious.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.

“Further investigations revealed traces of foreign vehicle paint on the victim’s motorcycle, leading police to suspect the involvement of another vehicle.

“CCTV footage from premises near the scene showed a Perodua Viva cutting in and brushing against the victim’s motorcycle, causing her to fall. The suspect left the scene without filing a police report,” he said.
