Police arrest 10 men, five women following viral video of cooking with portable stoves at petrol station

Following the circulation of a video on social media depicting a group who were cooking with portable stoves while gathered at a petrol station in Genting Highlands, Pahang, police have arrested 15 individuals, comprised of 10 men and five women, after they presented themselves at the Bentong district police station, according to a report by Harian Metro.

The individuals were released on police bail after they had their statements recorded, said Pahang police chief Yahaya Othman. “The investigation papers are being completed, and statements from four witnesses have been recorded to assist with the investigation. We will also refer the investigation papers to the deputy public prosecutor for further instruction,” Yahaya said.

The police received a report on May 14 on the incident after the viral video clip was uploaded on May 13, and the case was being investigated under Section 268 of the Penal Code for public nuisance, and Section 336 of the Penal Code for endangering life or the personal safety of others.

“The move taken after police received information and complaints that the location is often the focus of vehicle owners gathering and doing activities which disturb public order, and other motorists who pass through the location,” said Bentong OCPD Supt Zaiham Mohd Kahar last week, when the police began investigating the cookout session that was recorded.

      When these dudes r finally charged in court,lets see whether the Honorable Hakim will ask them to “demo” the art of cooking mee Maggi in full view of court attendees.
      To put them behind bars ..meant for rempits..is a waste of time.
      Just fine them cukup cukup plus do community service at least 200 hours at petrol stations as sweepers,toilet washers etc.with the T shirt” Cooking Mee Maggi Not Allowed at petrol stations vicinity”

    must be graduates of UITM!!

    Whats the most severe punishment for endangering other people’s lives.
    Malaysians must boycott petron for allowing the cooking and smoking.!!
    Petron only wants our money not bothered about our safety in the premises of the station

      Ape ke bangang? Ape kaitan dgn graduan uitm pula? Pisang setandan, satu yg busuk tu jugak la nak dibising, selama ni mkn pisang yg elok tu x bising pula ye. Brp byk lg pisang yg nak dihambat di Tanah Melayu ni utk memuaskan temolok hangpa?

    • Why so bitter? on May 20, 2024 at 10:10 pm

      Uitm rejected your application for post grad cardiothoracic course? Anyone who qualified for tertiary education, be it uitm or ivy league, would have some stands of common sense to know that lighting an open fire in fuel stations is illegal, let alone cooking megi. Those Bangsa H in the video definitely didn’t complete their spm.

    lol. It’s all good and well getting arrested. Do let us know what were the punishments? Wonder if they were hauled in and had a laugh with the policemen and left later that evening with nothing of note done to hold them accountable.
