Earlier this week, it was reported in the news that a minister’s MPV had been seen attempting to beat a traffic jam by tailgating an ambulance on the North-South Expressway on February 3. Now, local government development minister Nga Kor Ming, whose MPV it was that was involved in the incident, has issued a statement on the matter.
In a post on his Facebook page, Nga said he was aware of the news reports of the incident, which occurred following a fatal accident involving seven vehicles on the highway, leading to a massive traffic congestion.
Nga said at that point, he was on his way to attend an official programme in Ipoh in his vehicle. He said his driver realised that there was a private ambulance following his MPV, heading towards the scene of the accident. He said his driver gave way to the ambulance so as to give priority to the emergency vehicle.
He said the severe congestion along the route led to his driver then trailing the ambulance. “Seeing that traffic was congested, my driver had no choice but to follow the ambulance while looking for space to continue with the journey to Ipoh, after the ambulance went ahead,” he said in his statement.
“I would like to stress it was never my intention to break the law or flout traffic rules and regulations, and priority has always been on rescue efforts as prescribed by the law,” he said, adding that he had already instructed his officer to give full cooperation to authorities and that he was prepared to pay the compound fine for his driver, if he is found to be guilty of any offence. Nga ended his statement by saying that any inconvenience caused was not intentional and was deeply regretted.

Why letting a rogue ambulance tailgating parliamentary cabinet member’s official vehicle?
Calm down ralyat… Bellpire & Alparad also ‘ambulan kayangan’ meh
The formerly Opposition. When they were on the outside they criticise mentris doing such attitudes, now they are mentris they do the same shit and expect people to continue support them blindly and eat their shit.
Could be a BN MP doing this. Besides, everyone learnt the bad habits and practices from corrupt BN
To attend “official programme”
Then use police escort jer laa
One less trouble
Nga is & was never a part of BN. He is and continues to be from DAP which is obviously never been under BN. Stop blaming BN for all of Pakatan’s hubris.
That’s why people say power corrupts. The quality and true colour and identity will be revealed upon ascending to higher. We hope no more of such nonsense…even
though offence not as serious as corruption stealing government funds like own money.
Just fire that stubborn driver. Balik kampung tanam jagung, candat sotong …
Salah tu. Bukan ambulan kayangan tp van jenazah kayangan
One word: biaDAP
word biadap never exist. the only word exist in kamus dbp is biadab. please read more. malas membaca melahirkan mamat jakun dan uncivilized.
Another word in the dictionary that aptly describes you: penjilat
Karok jom Wkwkwkwkk
BS lah, if opposition or other drivers, am sure actions will be taken. Com’on, as if you are only one attending to important events?
Cuba google P45 Vellfire daging.. huhuhu
vellfire menteri pas potong double line jalan yang memang dah sempit. jalan 2 hala tak ada penghadang. klu lori lalu abisla. nak kejar program bagi orang ayam. sampai juga dia kat majlis tu. vellfire menteri dap potong jalan kat highway, jalan besar, duk belakang ambulans. nak kejar program juga. tapi in the end tak sampai pun program tu sebab masuk balik queue dalam jalan jem setelah menyedari kesalahan dibuat. simple. dua-dua buat salah, tapi yang mengaku dan bertaubat sorang je. teka sape.
Giving no choice as an excuse to break the law, pathetic. Regular rakyats have no choice but to be stuck in the jam queuing while other jerks cut que, trail ambulances. What happened to all those menteri advises to leave earlier, take public transport etc etc? Only for lowly rakyats without important official meetings?
Adakah anda bangsa kayangan? Kalo belum, sila ambik borang keahlian UMNO, PKR atau DAP dari wakil rakyat terdekat. Terima kasih
PAS lah terpaling ego sombong angkuh. Takleh pakai. Kakakah
amazing thing
Understand this. Ipoh ppl are strong supporters of my parti. I cannot reach late & disappoint my sapoters. If I otw to kota bahru then I rather get stuck in the jam
He can quit his minister post and focus on his work in ipoh.
Anywhere, this incident has revealed that he is more of a law breaker than law maker.
He blame it on his driver…..hmmm why not advice his driver not to tailgate ambulance then…
Yeah he might as well say this time its much better compared to previous PM that Ambulance need to stop for him but now he gives way and tail gate the Ambulance in return so this time its much better already – win liao.
Ahmad, you gotta take one for the team. The rakyat is going crazy on this issue. I promise to triple your pay for all your hardship
everyone else also no choice can ah? rubbish minister, one of the worst from dap
2nd worst is that one selling no. plates and messing with rotek
No he is 3rd worst. 2nd worst is minister nombor plate. But the worst is DAP exFM mentri undersea tunnel
Why is Loke bad? Even BN wanted him to join their side during PH 1.0 era.
Special number plate series also happened a lot in 2016 and 2017, the era of Bossku, BN and MCA
Bullshit la this minister. Just admit you’re wrong, instead of that, you’re shifting the blame to the driver. Stupidity to the max. Will never vote this kind of ppl
But stupid people will keep voting him.
Stupid people will keep voting in a PH govt
Who else can my subjects vote for? MCA is a write off
Why must you pendatang vote? The country does not even want you! I’m writing this as a pendatang!
Its not a matter of whether he pays a fine. As a minister and law maker, he should know very well how the law works and be setting a good example for all. Being late for an engagement is certainly no excuse and i certainly hope that it never crossed his mind that he can flout the law just because he is a minister.
Seeing that traffic was congested, my driver had no choice but to follow the ambulance while looking for space to continue with the journey to Ipoh, after the ambulance went ahead
Everyone also congested what. But then give you credits a bit for not using stupid escorts.
Always others are salah, he always betul.
Sending my kids to school every morning is an event by itself. Can I tailgate ambulance too?
Why the heck you need a vellfire to ferry you around? Incompetent bitch like you only need an alza or exora. That suits your fugly face well, nga kor ming.
Since he’s alwiz late for events, he chose the vellfire to save him time for the final send off. No need change vehicles. Get it?
BS. Own up the mistake and say sorry, at least you get a second chance.
Now it shows that this guy has no integrity.
Sorry sorry sorry…..
The ugliest vehicle on the road…….introducing Toshita HellFart.
In old times, no such problem as there will be police escort all the way for ministers.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
“I would like to stress it was never my intention to break the law or flout traffic rules and regulations, my vehicle suddenly followed the ambulance on its own without me or my driver’s knowledge. I wished that I was not caught on camera but unluckily I did and am prepared to pay the fine for my vehicle’s stupidity”.
This guy again. Everyone can give excuse lah. Why not tell all because this is our gov sukahati i lah. At least give some credibility.
Sama sama lah…who cares which R minister? As long as one can get away with crime, anything is legal! Except in this case, he soi..got caught. So, must blame someone, just not himself. Afterall, Nga is busy trying to copy Sinkapore.
U tailgate means u are not abiding traffic rules! U talk so much excuses means u are indeed snobbish! Bodoh sombong!
It’s shameful and opportunistic behaviour.
Sad for DAP that it’s leaders are behaving this way.
Par for the course for DAP leaders actually. You haven’t seen the worse yet.
“Seeing that traffic was congested, my driver had no choice but to follow the ambulance while looking for space to continue with the journey to Ipoh,
What type of comment is this? No choice? You can always choose to follow the traffic rules. Always think you are more superior? So damn arrogant!
If this i……d. .i . .o ….t was in the car, authority pls take against him!
Same BS as previous government ministers. All change when come into power. LP=PL
Why am I not surprised… It’s always the law does not apply to them ministers..
He should blame it on his counterpart Mr. loke for a bad job done at the transport ministry because congestion is always happening regardless of festive or not.
Menteri2 DAP ni semua hanat. Ade je nk buat kacau. Sekor ni cucuk ambulans sekor lg tu kecoh rotek. Kurang ajaq
Statement yg tak berapa bijak ni bulih simpan. Ape pendirian korang pasal diskaun denda & tempoh penjara? Adil sangat mcm parti keadilan tu? Masa kempen bukan main hentam. Sekarang menyepi je?
Typical. So embarrassing to give such an answer from a politician.
Most ministers in Malaysia, regardless of which R, are BTC. Not Bitcoin hor…it’s Boh Tak Chek. So, what do you expect?
next time manage your time properly. if you cannot manage your time, how can you manage a country?
He only aspires to be ketua kampung in Chinese new village
even before i read the article, i knew it that the minister will have an excuse to justify his actions. how often will a minister admit their fault?
