Lelaki ditahan pukul anak kucing guna penyapu

Police in Batu Gajah have arrested a man for allegedly kicking a sick kitten with a metal brush at his home in Bandar Tasik Idaman. A two-minute 19-second video showed the suspect repeatedly kicking the injured kitten several times with an aluminum brush inside his house. The police received information about the incident around midday yesterday, and the man surrendered to Batu Gajah Police Headquarters.

He claimed the kitten had entered his car's bonnet, which could cause harm and damage to the vehicle if the engine was started or the car was in motion, according to Batu Gajah Police Chief Md Noor Aehawan Mohammad. The suspect's cat was found alive after the kick, and he was taken to a veterinary clinic for treatment. The police plan to obtain a veterinary report to comply with Section 428 of the Criminal Force Act and Section 29(1)(a) of the Animal Welfare Act, which deals with animal cruelty.

Social media users criticized the suspect's actions, with some calling for disciplinary action against his employer due to his attire while on duty.
