A 53-year-old Chinese businessman died yesterday after he was intercepted and detained by the police for allegedly beating a red light at Kuala Lumpur city centre.
According to a report in China Press which quoted sources from the police, Chong Foo Ming was foaming at the mouth soon after being subdued and handcuffed by the cops at Jalan Imbi .
The sources told the Chinese daily that the incident happened around 12 midnight yesterday when police patrols found Chong behaving suspiciously and wanted to question him, but he responded by accelerating his car and later making a U-turn to flee.
The police patrols called up another three colleagues to chase the deceased and have him detained.
“When the police (saw him foaming at the mouth), they quickly called an ambulance to send him to hospital but he was later declared dead,” claimed the sources.
Chong’s daugter said her father was driving alone in his Waja to meet his friend at a restaurant nearby.
“Apparently after my father parked his car, the patrol police instructed him to show his documents after allegedly beating a red light, but he refused.”
She believed that the deceased was foaming at the mouth while he was confronting the police.
