Johor Regent says alleged disabled driver attack by security personnel used to drag down royal institution

New: You can now listen to articles. JOHOR BAHRU: Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has spoken out over an incident in which a member of his security personnel allegedly punched a deaf ride-hailing driver, saying there was a movement using the issue to drag down the royal institution.

The association added that the driver was unable to defend his statement adequately and that the police should have engaged a sign-language interpreter to investigate the case. According to Awani, the driver had initially made a police report alleging that he was hit in the head by a “bodyguard” while waiting for passengers at the hotel in Brickfields. After lodging the report, the driver was taken to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for treatment, the report added.

In its statement, DAWN also alleged that the driver was asked to return to the police station after he was treated at the hospital during which he was asked to surrender his phone. Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa, quoted in local media, said the complainant made a second police report on the evening of May 28, stating that the matter had been resolved amicably.

Tunku Ismail was appointed Johor Regent at the end of January after his father ascended the throne to become Malaysia’s Yang di-Pertuan Agong for a five-year term.
