Tow truck driver’s car torched in mistaken identity

Not my fault: Mohd Norizan assessing the damage at the front porch of his house in Segamat, Johor.

SEGAMAT: A tow truck driver had a terrifying wake-up call when his slumber, despite a stomach ache, was cut short by the acrid smell of fumes. Rushing outside, he was met with a horrifying sight – his car engulfed in flames.

Checks later found that the fire early Friday was likely started by an ah long who was seeking repayment for a loan taken by the brother of the previous house owner.
