Previously, we shared how a Singaporean man was arrested by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for crashing his car into a Mookata restaurant in Johor Bahru on 5 March. He also crashed into a parked vehicle while attempting to reverse out of the eatery.

Additionally, the man refused to cooperate with the police in taking a second breathalyser test, prompting the authorities to bring him to the Sultan Aminah Hospital (HSA) to take toxicology samples to detect the level of alcohol in his body.
