SEREMBAN, April 1 — The Malaysian Army has transferred the investigation into one of its personnel who allegedly assaulted a female driver along Jalan Persiaran Senawang 4 three days ago to the police.
Army Chief General Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan said they are closely monitoring the case and takey behaviour that could tarnish its image seriously.
“The individual is still under investigation. I dare not speculate or comment further. Let the police conclude the investigation,” he said when contacted by Bernama today.
Yesterday, Seremban police chief ACP Mohamad Hatta Che Din said the 35-year-old soldier had been released on police bail, with the case referred to the Bukit Aman police headquarters.
The man was arrested after allegedly assaulting the 28-year-old woman, causing bruising on her right rib and swelling on the back of her head.
The incident occurred at 10.15pm when the woman, driving a Perodua Axia, could not avoid the man’s wife, 34, and their seven-year-old daughter, who suddenly crossed the road, resulting in minor injuries to both.
