IPOH: The woman who tried to hug Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah during the state-level National Day celebrations here has been remanded for three days.
Perak police chief Comm Datuk Noor Hisam Nordin said a court order has been obtained to remand the 41-year-old woman.
“The matter is still under investigation and she has been remanded for three days until Wednesday,” he said in a short message yesterday while declining to elaborate.
On Sunday, the woman rushed towards the Perak Ruler on stage and attempted to hug him while the state anthem was being played in the 8.20am incident.
Security personnel apprehended her, leading her off the stage.
Several videos of the incident have since gone viral.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Comm Noor Hisam said initial checks found a drug-related record.
The woman also has a history of psychiatric treatment and was under specialist supervision, he added.
