Cops record statement of person who used fake number plate on McLaren car


KUALA LUMPUR: The police have already recorded the statement of the vehicle owner who used a fake number plate on a McLaren luxury high-performance car.

Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Asst Comm Sarifudin Mohd Salleh said the individual's statement was recorded at the Kuala Lumpur Traffic police station.

"The case is still being investigated under Section 108(3)(f) of the Road Transport Act 1987. The investigation paper will be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor once the investigation is completed," he said when contacted.

It was previously reported that the Road Transport Department (JPJ) had requested the assistance of the police to track down a man known as Opai, who is the husband of an actress.

The police had been asked to assist the investigation over the use of the number plate "QPA 1", which is not registered for a McLaren luxury car.

KL JPJ deputy director Erick Jusiang said the department had to seek the assistance of the police as the man had not cooperated even after a notice to come to the JPJ office was issued.

Previously, the man was heavily criticised after a recent video in which he allegedly insulted non-supercar vehicles at a car exhibition went viral.
