KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian police have started investigations following a claim by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter Nurul Ilham that she was a victim of road bullying.
The incident is said to have occurred on the North-South Expressway as she was heading to Seremban.
Serdang police chief A. Anbalagan said a 14-second video clip of the incident was shared by Ms Nurul Ilham on her Twitter account, and it later went viral. It showed a Proton Iriz on the right lane moving slowly and hitting the brakes several times.
According to initial investigations, the incident involved an accident and both parties suffered injuries.
“Both drivers, including Nurul Ilham, were called up to record their statements while the case was investigated... for an offence of overtaking and obstructing traffic,” the police chief said in a statement on Friday night. “Members of the public with information about the incident are encouraged to contact the traffic department of the Serdang police station to assist investigations.”
