ALOR GAJAH: A Facebook post about a reckless driver in Masjid Tanah town led to the detention of a 24-year-old eatery owner.

Alor Gajah OCPD Supt Arshad Abu said the man was also found to be driving without a valid licence and road tax as well as allegedly being under the influence of drugs.

“The car was also found to have been illegally modified while a urine test on the man came back positive (for drugs),” he said on Monday (Oct 3).
