Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department director Hasbullah Ali says this information was obtained following questioning of the suspects.
Police in Malaysia are investigating an illegal street motorcycle race that took place on the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link highway, based on a viral video that showed motorists being blocked to facilitate the event. The race, which reportedly occurred around 7am on Sunday, involved betting money, with police estimating the total at RM15,000.
Three suspects - a jockey and two spectators - were detained following the incident, bringing the total number of arrests to 11. The video showed a group of individuals deliberately obstructing traffic on a section of the highway between Km33 (Senai toll exit) and Km31 (Johor Premium Outlet exit).
