A MALE singer was arrested for allegedly beating and causing injury to his ex-wife after a misunderstanding in Kota Damansara yesterday.

Petaling Jaya district police chief Mohd Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said the 45-year-old singer was arrested at his residence today following a report made by his 27-year-old former wife.

“During the 2.30pm incident, she was in the parking lot of the man’s residence in Kota Damansara to pick up her son before a misunderstanding arose because she refused to have photographs taken with the suspect.

“The suspect scolded and hit her, resulting in bruises and pain on her body,” he said in a statement today.

He said the suspect’s urine test came back negative. Police will make a remand application against him in court tomorrow under section 323 of the penal code and section 18 (A) of the Domestic Violence Act 2017.

The incident has since gone viral. – Bernama, April 20, 2022.
