Verdict:

TRUE

A lorry driver has been slapped with a summons over a viral video showing several decommissioned police patrol vehicles stacked haphazardly on his vehicle.

Tapah OCPD Supt Wan Azharuddin Wan Ismail said the 32-year-old lorry driver was issued the summons on Friday (Feb 11) after police investigated the incident under Road Traffic Rules earlier this month.

Supt Wan Azharuddin said police had found that the 58-second video went viral after it was posted on Twitter and TikTok on Feb 5.

"The incident was recorded near a petrol station at the Tapah R&R area.

"We found that there were eight police patrol vehicles being carried on the lorry," he said in a statement on Monday (Feb 14).

"The vehicles had been sold at auction by the Seremban police contingent and were collected from an industrial park in Seremban to be sent to Ipoh," he added.
