Datuk arrested along with another over slapping incident

PETALING JAYA: Police have arrested a Datuk and another individual who were seen slapping a woman and an unidentified man in a viral video.

Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal confirmed this when contacted on Thursday (Jan 14).

More details on the arrest will be released soon, he said.

Earlier on Thursday, a short 29-second video showed two men slapping an unidentified victim while gesturing aggressively in a hotpot restaurant in Tropicana Avenue.

As the older of the two walked away, he was seen slapping a woman as well.

People on social media have been quick to condemn the actions of the two.

Many stated that one of the two men held a Datukship and that he should be stripped of his title.

According to reports, the woman is the victim's girlfriend.
