KUALA LUMPUR: A 19-year-old student who pulled down his pants and showed his buttocks to the Prime Minister and his wife's pictures on Merdeka eve was arrested at a private college in Taman Maluri here earlier today.
The male student who is on his third semester of Creative Multimedia studies was picked up by a team of police officers from Bukit Aman Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies (D7) Division about 12.30pm.
The division's chief Datuk Abdul Jalil Hassan said they received public tip-off on the student's identity, and learnt that he had ran to his hometown in Batu Pahat after learning that he was sought after by authorities following the incident.
"We contacted the college management, who then asked his family to bring the suspect back to the city.
"He was brought by his parents here this morning."
Abdul Jalil said police had also recorded statements from two other students, also 19, who had went to celebrate Merdeka at Dataran Merdeka with the suspect.
Police had also confiscated several pictures taken by the students to facilitate investigations.
The student was then brought to Dang Wangi police headquarters.
