Images of a Proton Saga parked on the road and obstructing traffic were circulating on social media yesterday. While inconsiderate motorists who park without a care are a common sight, what’s unusual here is a police vest put prominently on the Saga’s dashboard, not a phone number.
UPDATE: The case is now solved after the owner of the pics stepped up – full story here
Needless to say, the comments weren’t kind and the cops have been alerted to it. Ipoh folks might recognise the background and the stalls to be from the Polo Ground, and it is indeed Persiaran Brash, which is one lane each direction. Therefore, any car parked on the road would create a bottleneck. Question is would a real cop do this, or was it an impostor?
Ipoh police chief Yahaya Hassan has released a statement saying his men are now looking for the individual who took the pictures to help identify the owner of the viral Saga. The owner of the pics is urged to get in touch with Ipoh JSPT chief Koo Boon Kuat at 016-4173222 to assist investigations.
“Police would like to advice the public to not make any speculation on the contents of the post until it affects investigations and the reputation of PDRM,” the statement added.

auxiliary police personnel ?
Drebar bebal yg amat
Melambak double park, triple pak kat luar tu, takde apa pun. Takkan setiap kali kena viral baru diambil tindakan?
Brother, at least put hp number for others to reach… Easy what.
malaysians losing their moral bearings by the day. so sad
Now, this is Malaysian Ingenuity! The person who did that deserved a medal. Why can’t the garmen hire people like that to come up with unconventional ways that could help the country? Malaysia does not suffer from brain drain to Sinkapore, Malaysia garmen just not looking hard enough for Malaysian Talent! Go Harimau Malaysia.
..”looking for the individual who took the pictures to help identify the owner of the viral Saga” ????
JPJ app down ka? Cannot identify the owner?? Cari yg send gambaq what for la
Maybe, org yg post gambar tu, dia censored plat number? Tp apa pun, segala salah laku kena ada butiran tarikh, masa, tempat dan keterangan baru polis bole buat report.
Akhirnya ade gak rakyat yg blh brfikir dan tgk gambar tu btol2 (no plet).
Kalo no plet tu X CENSORED, blh je tahu spe owner kenderaan tu.
What they gonna do to the image owner? Warn him “Jangan cemar nama baik anggota polis?”
why is the police looking for the individual that took the photo? the police should be going after the driver of the Proton Saga. Not the individual that took the photo!
Cube ko tgk no plate blh nampak/baca x?
becos the person who took the pic had covered up the number plate, so polis need to be in touch with the person lah. otherwise how to track down the owner and driver? polis usually will look for owner, then ask if it was owner who drove the car or someone else. further polis will need the date, time, place of incident.
Because this is Malaysia! We do things the unconventional way. Go Harimau Malaysia! Catch both culprits…the Saga owner and the Kaw Poh photo taker!
To make it as an official case. This way its almost impossible to whoever own the black car regardless if he is a police officer or not to drop the case due to technical reason as there is a complainant with more details of the incident. A simple post does not tell the whole story. And just like another person comment, reg number could be blank out in the pic his post.
If police is to follow your logic then a lot of cases will be drop when its in court or time to take disciplinary action against one of their own.
Remember few other viral cases with the reg number not blurred or blank out? The authority can go straight to the registered owner.
As is typical of the police, the messenger or
whistleblower is the guilty party. Not the perpetrator
haha…
called to find the owner of saga… in the end masuk lokap kena paksa delete viral pix dan akui dia yang salah
Giv that owner saman whether he/she from the police, thought by displaying the vest can park suka suka. Why town council never tow the car ??
Stupid PDRM.
I think the logical thing to do here is to cross check the car plate number to find the owner. The owner of this picture wouldnt know who owns the car. If the police is just looking for the owner of the picture, obviously is to try and contain this picture and not let it spread. I spot a lie when i see one.
