Police are tracking down an express bus driver and a woman seen in a viral video allegedly involving dangerous behaviour along the North–South Expressway
The footage sparked public outcry as it shows the driver operating the vehicle with the woman sitting on his lap.
According to The Star, Jasin police chief Supt Lee Robert said investigations found the incident took place near the Bemban Rest and Relaxation area at about 7.30pm on 12 April.
He described the act as extremely dangerous, warning that it could endanger both passengers and other road users.
"The case is serious as it involves a public transport vehicle, where a high level of discipline and responsibility is expected from the driver," he said in a statement today, 14 April.
Lee said they have called on both the driver, who is married, and the woman to come forward to the Jasin district police headquarters to assist in investigations
He added that they have yet to establish the relationship between the two.
The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.
Meanwhile, a passenger who identified herself only as Siva said she reported the incident out of concern for passenger safety, adding that the driver may not have realised the seriousness of his actions
She told Harian Metro that she had also confronted the pair before lodging an online report and later shared the video in a local community group.
"I didn't expect it to go viral, but I believe it was for the greater good, especially in raising awareness among many, including public transport drivers," she said.
Sri Maju Group has since confirmed the driver was its employee and said he has been terminated with immediate effect, adding that it is cooperating fully with authorities in the ongoing investigation
The company also said it has reported the matter to the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), while the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has opened an investigation paper.
Members of the public with information are urged to contact investigating officer Marwan Shafiq Mohd Latfi at 011-11127533 or report it to the nearest police station.
