Police arrest 13-year old boy driving against traffic in T’ganu – 4 passengers, ignored repeated calls to stop

High drama in Chukai, Terengganu. A 13-year old boy has been detained by police for driving dangerously and without a license. Mind you, it wasn’t just an experimental slow drive around the taman, but he went against traffic, evaded arrest and had a car full of passengers too!

According to Kemaman district police chief, Hanyan Ramlan, the arrest happened yesterday evening at Taman Banggol Indah, Chukai. The BSPT IPD Kemaman cops were conducting Op Lancar/Op Samseng Jalanan in the area when they noticed the white Saga BLM at around 4pm.

“Police noticed the suspect driving a white Proton Saga coming from the opposite direction when passing Jalan Bawah Jambatan Geliga (Waterfront). The officers tried to stop the car but the driver ignored calls to stop, and sped up to escape. Police followed the car and ordered it to stop three times, but were ignored,” Hanyan said, reported by Sinar Harian.

He added that cops followed the rogue Saga for 10 km before the teen stopped the car at a laundromat and ran away on foot. In the end, the boys aged 13 to 16 were arrested and brought to the Kemaman police station for further action under Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

The driver will be remanded today while the passengers have been freed. Cops will also call in the vehicle owner – who is the suspect’s mother – to record her statement. She will be issued summonses for allowing someone who does not possess a driver’s license to drive her vehicle.

Hanyan said that aside from the lawan arus driving, the suspect did a couple of things that caused danger to himself and his passengers, as well as other road users. “The suspect drove in a zig-zag manner on Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Kuantan from KM 155 to 157, and did not stop at the Mak Lagam traffic lights. The car also overtook dangerously and cut queue at the Geliga bus station traffic lights,” he said.

That’s a catalogue of offences and it sounds like a movie scene. The fact that the teens ignored repeated calls to stop and started a chase is astonishing. Teenagers using the roads as a playground, endangering themselves and other road users – sounds familiar? What if this misadventure caused a loss of life, or years of legal trouble for others? Would heavier punishment for parents work?

        Most of these parents are lazy and they leave God to take care of their child. No wonder God is pissed off with them. They treat God like a maid

    It is evident that bad parenting is at fault here & this worrying trend appears to worsen from 1 generation to the next. Poor education? Mental issues? Shortage of common sense?

      under Section 31 (1)(a) of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611). Under this section, it is an offence for anyone responsible for the care of a child to “abandon, neglect or expose the said child to danger so as to cause him/her physical or emotional injury.” If convicted, the offender can be fined up to RM50,000 or jailed for up to 20 years or both.

        Jail 20 years..u kidding me?
        So far,no one jailed even 20 hours,lately.(Pls update,if I am wrong)
        From Langkawi 6 year old kindy Vios crasher to this Form 1 spoilt brat,no parents have been in court.
        Mamak said ,let there be rule of law.
        Ajibkor was sent to jail,but these escapee parents,seemingly got warnings n slap on their wrists(samans).Whether it is 1MDB ,stealing kembong from Mydin,n this crime,the parents should be dealt with severely.What if the 13 year old killed a few pedestrians?
        R u telling me,there is a jungle out there now?

    I suspect that this 13 year old kid has been doing what the Langkawi boys recently did for several years already, but he did not get caught until now.

    that parent will probably say, my son is very filial, everytime i ask him to go market buy things for me, he will do so.

    I need him to help me as I am not convenient to move bla bla bla…..it is impossible for him to do these illegal things.

    Another Amirulrasyid case waiting to happen. They will evade cops like pros, as if they’re seasoned hardcore criminals that’s making a getaway after a crime or transporting contraband. When the police open fire on the vehicle, somehow it’s the cops at fault.

    If the kids get killed either by bullets or a crash, as usual the parents will be all teary-eyed.. dia ni budak baik.. tak pernah bagi masalah.. selalu membantu di masjid.. tak pernah tinggal solat.. rajin mengaji.. mama masih rindu.. setiap hari masih lipat baju dia seakan dia akan kembali.. etc.

      Yup. We always see young kids riding motorbike, now they are freely driving a car. Their parents just don’t bother. Another Aminrulrasyid case will happen. Kalau eksiden mati mula la parents claim mcm2, salahkan polis. Fark.
