Penang cops to check on haphazard parking along BORR


GEORGE TOWN: Police will conduct inspections along the Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR) near Bagan Ajam following viral videos depicting motorists parking chaotically, presumably to break their fast along the beach.

Deputy state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohamed Usof Jan Mohamad said although they have not received any police report on the matter, police would act accordingly on the matter.

"We will send our men and will take stern action against anyone who causes traffic disruptions," he told reporters after a press conference on police success in crippling two drug trafficking syndicates at the state police headquarters here on Tuesday (March 26).

Social media was abuzz on Tuesday (March 26) with footage showing cars parked haphazardly to the extent of disrupting traffic flow, allegedly for buka puasa.

The 54-second video posted on TikTok garnered over 23,000 reactions, more than 800 comments, and had been shared by more than 5,000 users by noon Tuesday (March 26).
