  "account": "JOHOR BAHRU, Sept 20 — A video posted online captured an Audi driver traveling against traffic on Jalan Jim Quee, a road in South Johor Bahru. The driver, a Malaysian man, worked as a waiter at R&F Mall and was believed to have fallen asleep after finishing his shift around 6:50am on September 18. The deputy police chief, Superintendent Ng Swie Chait, reported that the man was driving home to Taman Mount Austin when he hit the Tanjung Puteri traffic-light intersection. While stopped, the police officer nearby noticed the stationary vehicle. In an effort to wake the driver, the officer knocked on the window, which successfully woke the man. The driver then slowly moved the car forward into oncoming traffic. Despite this action, an alcohol breath test conducted by nearby officers showed the driver's breath was alcohol-free. The incident is under investigation for disobeying traffic signals, in accordance with Section 79(2) of the Road Transport Act 1987.",
