Police spokesperson ACP Ashari Abu Samah announced the arrest on the morning of September 7, reporting that the department learned of the incident via social media at 10:34 am the previous day. Preliminary investigations suggest the abuse reportedly took place on August 11.\n\nThe disturbing video footage displays the toddler being scolded, his hair pulled, and his head shaken by a woman employed at the daycare center. Following the report, police conducted further investigations and detained a 31-year-old woman to aid the probe. A remand application will be submitted tomorrow.\n\nThe child was transported to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital for a medical evaluation, and no serious injuries have been reported at this time.
