Sepang police probe repeated nail‑scattering incidents at Cybersouth flyover that endangers motorists

Sepang police are investigating repeated incidents of nails being scattered on the left off-ramp of the Cybersouth flyover, an act that puts motorists at risk. Sepang police chief ACP Norhizam Bahaman reported receiving complaints about the issue as early as July 15. Despite ongoing surveillance, the police have not yet identified the person responsible for the act.

Norhizam appealed for anyone with information to come forward to aid the investigation. Earlier, Norhizam participated in a convoy flagged off by the Sepang District Police Headquarters, traveling 14 kilometers to SJKC Dengkil as part of the 'Fly the Jalur Gemilang' campaign. The case is being investigated under Section 268 of the Penal Code, which deals with acts endangering others' lives or safety.

The location is hazardous due to its bend, and such sabotage could lead to accidents. Social media users shared photos and videos of the issue, claiming nails about two inches long have been scattered since June. Additionally, Sepang police are intensifying monitoring of early-morning motorcycle racing activities in the Salak Perdana area due to resident complaints.

They have instructed the head of the Sepang IPD Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division to conduct checks and investigate potential reckless or dangerous driving under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, including the use of vapes containing harmful substances.
