Karak Highway concessionaire Anih Berhad has lodged a police report over alleged intentional oil spills at KM75.7 of the eastbound highway earlier this week. Bernama reports that the company is aware of claims on social media that the oil spill resulted in several accidents on the stretch.
“We have lodged a report at the Bentong district police headquarters on Wednesday morning to enabled detailed investigation of the allegation,” an Anih Berhad spokesman said, adding that preliminary investigation found oil stains from an earlier accident, which took place on the same spot.
Images of accidents on the Karak Highway stretch went viral recently, supported by images of oil stains on the road. It’s a repeat of similar claims that surfaced in the middle of last year.
Anih Berhad has reminded road users to comply with the speed limit. Motorists have been urged to contact the company hotline at 09-5479111 if they come across, or have information of mischief on the Karak and Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT) 1 highways.
Allegations of unscrupulous people intentionally spilling oil on highway stretches are nothing new, and many fingers have been pointed to tow truck operators, who are usually very quick on the scene of the accident. Solid proof is hard to come by though, and it is hoped that police investigations yield a result. Drive safe and slow down on winding stretches, especially when the roads are damp.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So apparently these pipu dun pour at Karak b4 genting but happens only AFTER genting. I wonder why its so?
Polis inspira tidur ?
How does a polis car (inanimate object) tidur?
I’ve met with an accident there. my car spun off and hit the barrier. Got to know from the Kuantan’s garage that the area between between Bentong’s toll and Karak’s toll ‘belongs’ to somebody.
The Balai also sama sama. All take ang pau. They know who long time ago already.
Yes. Cuz during Raya, the only ones still left in Balai is…
becoz the section (bentong – sg dua – karak) no need pay toll ma, they clever.
In Malaysia very simple la to investigate. In this case, 100% sure the employees of the tolls booth working hand in hand with the guys who spill the oil. For sure, they get a cut from the accident bill.
This kind of things has been going on in Malaysia so long lah…20 over years.
Why then when you are in a remote location and nobody around, you got accident, within few minutes the tow truck can come and help you?
Excess b10 diesel…
AES no saman ?
AES is not CCTV.
Tol plaza CCTV.
Pipu spill oil at tol plazas?
Why la no CCTV? AES can pasang.
Even got CCTV no use one.. They do in daylight one, their working hours mostly early morning at dark area..
Ask highway consessionaire la, they’re the ones supposed to monitor not enforcement agency.
Karak oil spill is not new, had already experience and several of my friends had experienced it also. When i used to travel on weekly basis using Karak for last 3 years ,always slow down when using this part of highway. Had seen quite lot of car lost control there.
If eksiden, they help to keep your wallet, watches & Iphones.
Even electronic stability control can’t fight oil spill. What say you, john?
This has been going on for years. The tow truck gangsta must be giving polis ang pao everytime. Karak must patrol their highway more frequent
Some people are plain evil.
You can get free tow truck from ur insurance co. Even without acc or ur car just break down, they can send to police station or workshop foc. Why bother to entertain outside tow truck
Is it on the KL bound or Bentong bound traffic? This is scary. Will try to slow down there, even though it’s hard when the curvy roads just beg you to hug ’em.
If came from KL/Genting..
After 2nd Bentong Town entry.. Start from here till Karak Town entry.. especially at corner2 area..
which part of the highway is KM75?
Heartless scums. Should caught all those ppl and charge with attempted murder.
Heartless ppl. Pdrm must catch all responsible and charge them with attempted murder.
this is more effective way than AES to stop pppl from speeding…..
Why does this crap happen in Malaysia but not in other countries?
Along with taxi mafias hogging one whole lane of road at Pavillion and KLCC just waiting to slaughter passengers?
The polis really cannot see?
Who say not happen in other countries?
So what’s your point ? If it’s a crime it’s a crime. No one is above the law. No matter in other countries or here
So still no cctv?!? With 4 billion donation surely can afford some.
The highest oil spill accidents was at lebuh raya pantai Timur . The second highest at karak. Too many dies but still nobody take aggressive action to stop the devil spill oil.
ya. the new highway at kt – ajil area, light rain u can easily fly without wing. Karak highway was area bentong toll to karak toll.
those drivers that crash don’t know how to hold a skid and counter steer. so the simplest thing is to blame someone else.
