3 more nabbed over illegal race on Malaysia-Singapore 2nd Link

Police have apprehended three additional individuals in connection with an illegal motorcycle race that obstructed the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link, according to Kulai police chief Tan Seng Lee. The suspects, all arrested in Kuala Lumpur, will be brought before the district court for a remand application. This brings the total number of detained individuals to 11, as reported by Kosmo. Lee stated that the investigation into the incident, which is under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, is ongoing.

Previously on Sunday morning, around 7am, a 30-second video went viral showcasing a group of people deliberately blocking motorists to enable the race. The event reportedly took place between KM33 (Senai Toll Exit) and KM31 (Johor Premium Outlet Exit) on the route from Malaysia to Singapore. Eight men, including a motorsport influencer, were detained on Sunday and remanded for four days to aid the investigation.
