Police tracking down trio after men filmed riding atop moving Proton Wira

Johor Baru police are searching for the owners, driver, and passengers of a blue Proton Wira after footage emerged of two men sitting on its roof while the car was moving on a road in Taman Puteri Wangsa, Ulu Tiram. Assistant Commissioner Azrul Hisham Mohd Shaffei of Johor Baru Selatan district revealed this at 9 am. The police noted the video and photos around 9 am that day.

The car was spotted driving from Jalan Beladau 32 to Jalan Bukit Jaya. The authorities are currently working on identifying the people involved, as per Section 47 of the Road Transport Act 1987, which deals with individuals carrying a person outside a vehicle or in a manner that could jeopardize the driver's control and put others on the road at risk.

Anyone with leads can reach out to the Johor Baru Selatan Traffic Police Station at 07-223 7977. The New Straits Times had previously reported that the video was filmed by a motorist who was following the vehicle. The footage captured two men on the roof of the moving Proton Wira, and a third person driving the car. The men seemed unperturbed as the car continued along the road, even slowing down near a speed breaker, causing the men to struggle to stay balanced.

The individual who recorded the video read out the vehicle's registration number and the location of the incident. The video was subsequently posted on Facebook, attracting over 20,000 views and 200 comments, with many users expressing disapproval of the act and questioning why someone would put themselves and others in such danger.
