POLICE have recorded a statement from the man believed to be a Datuk who berated a carpark attendant at a hotel here in the Sept 18 incident, which has gone viral on social media.

Brickfields district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ruslan Khalid today said the suspect’s statement was taken in Brickfields and the investigation would be referred to the deputy public prosecutor.

“This is a legal summons case, which means an arrest cannot be made without a warrant under Section 323 of the Penal Code,” he said when contacted by Bernama.

Yesterday, police confirmed a closed-circuit television recording (CCTV) of the incident in which a man was seen scolding a parking attendant at a hotel in the capital which has since gone viral.

Ruslan was quoted as saying, based on the parking attendant’s report,  the man began to behave so when the attendant  refused to raise the exit bar at the hotel after the man was found not to have paid for a RM3 parking ticket.

He said the parking attendant lodged a police report on September 19. – Bernama, October 12, 2018.

  • For a person who carries a title Datuk, can effort a Range Rover, doing business what so ever it is in a hotel one doesn't become so low as to scold a parking collection attendant for a mere RM3. Which state did the Datukship came from? What effort did he did to earn a datukship or did he pays for it and looking at this behaviour your guess is a good a mine. He must had a bad day to reach to that level of anger but why throw it down to the poor guy. Young man stand by your rights see him in court so that his Datukship title can be stripe out no back room dealing. Such person doesn't deserve a second chance.

  • Another poor reflection on those who give out Datukships.

  • Another rich bas*ard with an outsized sense of entitlement. Hope he is charged and given the maximum punishment permissible.
