Dang Wangi police chief, Assistant Commissioner Sazalee Adam, said the incident, which took place around 2am on 18 May, was first detected through videos circulating online.
Police warn that the actions of those individuals could endanger tourists, traders, road users, and members of the public.
According to Berita Harian, the police have checked the CCTV recordings but require more information because the vehicle didn’t have a registration number.
The police are also investigating the ‘’6.6’’ flag. The flag’s meaning is unknown for now. It’s unconfirmed whether the whole act is part of a marketing stunt.
The investigation will be carried out under Section 290 of the Penal Code, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, and Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
