'You can't arrest me, I'm a Datuk'


KUALA LUMPUR: “You can’t arrest me, I’m a Datuk!” exclaimed a suspect as he was being cuffed by police after a high-speed chase from Nilai to Serdang, early Monday morning.

The 33-year-old, self-proclaimed “Datuk” even said he was a lawyer and was friends with an Opposition leader in an apparent bid to avoid being arrested.
