Ruse allows reporters to observe tontos at work

Observing the observer: A tonto (red and black shirt) tailing the ministry vehicle on a motorcycle along Jalan Larut in George Town to monitor their immediate whereabouts.

GEORGE TOWN: The tonto’s motorcycle revved as the rider tailed an enforcement unit the moment the team left the Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry’s office in Lebuh Downing here.

Unbeknownst to the tonto, the enforcement officers took him for a ride for an hour around town.
