The Road Transport Department (JPJ) Pahang has stressed that a viral video showing a violent encounter involving its members with a man was just a demonstration.
JPJ in a media statement today, informed that the scene in the viral video was actually part of a scene that was acted out in a rehearsal yesterday.
“The act was for a demonstration in conjunction with the working visit of the Director General of the Road Transport Department of Malaysia, this Monday.
“In this regard, JPJ Pahang calls on the public not to spread inaccurate or misleading information as it can cause confusion and anxiety among the community.
“The public is advised to be careful and refer to authentic sources before believing and sharing any news or videos that are spread,” he said.
In the meantime, JPJ Pahang will continue to be committed to ensuring that every enforcement officer is well trained and prepared to handle any situation with high professionalism and integrity.
“If there are any further questions or information regarding this incident, the public can contact JPJ Pahang on our official line or refer to official communication channels for the latest developments,” he said.
Yesterday, a 31-second video went viral showing a JPJ officer trying to detain a man, which allegedly took place in the Pahang JPJ Complex compound.
Previously, an elderly man went viral slapping a Puspakom officer in Johor Bahru, Johor after getting angry during a brake test.
The elderly man was later fined RM1,600 by the court.
