Driver Who Went Viral for Silat Moves at Penang Toll Allegedly Freed From Jail Recently, Now Wanted by Police

A video has gone viral showing a man in a sarong getting into a standoff at a toll plaza, where he was seen wielding a weapon and striking silat poses during an argument.

According to the post, the driver of a blue Perodua Bezza allegedly swerved from the emergency lane to overtake another car, prompting the other driver to honk.

He was recently released from jail

Irritated, the Bezza driver reportedly hit the other car from behind. As they approached the toll, the victim signalled for the suspect to pull over to discuss the incident.

A verbal argument broke out between the Bezza driver and the victim, which eventually led the suspect to begin performing silat stances while holding what appeared to be a keris. The confrontation ended when a third individual stepped in to defuse the situation.

The victim later filed a police report and claimed they discovered that the suspect had only recently been released from prison.

The suspect is now on the police wanted list

The Penang Contingent Criminal Investigation Department later issued a public notice on Facebook stating that 32-year-old Mohd Shakirin bin Rejab is currently on their wanted list.

Shakirin, known by Kirin, Bain, Baim, and Bien, was last reported to have abandoned his blue Perodua Bezza in Gurun, Kedah, and has been missing since, according to China Press.

The suspect is wanted for investigation under Sections 323 and 506 of the Penal Code for allegedly causing hurt and criminal intimidation.
