Suspects in slapping incident at hotpot restaurant in the soup

PETALING JAYA: Police are tracking down 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 (pic) said investigators were looking for the suspects.

"The victim is a 31-year-old manager. The cause of the incident was because the suspect was told he was being noisy," he said in a text message to the media on Thursday (Jan 14).

Earlier today, a short 29-second video clip 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.

Netizens 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.
