  "summary": "A 27-year-old property agent, Bryan Marc Daniel, has been fined RM4,000 and given an eight-month prison sentence for disobeying a police order while tailing Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's convoy on the Kesas highway. The incident occurred on October 7 when Daniel, driving an SUV, failed to comply with a police officer's warning on the Shah Alam Expressway between Kajang and Subang Jaya. The offense under Section 21(2) of the Police Act 1967 carries a maximum penalty of RM10,000 in fines or up to two years in jail. Daniel paid the fine immediately after pleading guilty in the Magistrates’ Court. A viral video showed the incident, with a police escort warning the driver to stop following the convoy before he ignored the request.",
