Truckers to gather in solidarity with ‘assaulted’ lorry driver



A group of truck drivers are expected to gather in solidarity for a lorry driver who was allegedly assaulted by a group of men.
A media invitation to a press conference by the Small and Medium Scale Entrepreneurs Alliance of Malaysia (Ikhlas) said that they will “gather peacefully” to denounce the alleged assault on the lorry driver.
Ikhlas also urged the police to take prompt action against those responsible behind the incident.
The gathering will be held at 11am tomorrow at the Sungai Besi Petron petrol station.
A video of the incident which had gone viral showed a man clad in a green T-shirt pinning the lorry driver in question to the ground and repeatedly hitting him.
Following this, several other individuals arrived at the scene and repeatedly kicked the man who was on the ground.
The video recording of the assault was accompanied with a message, which claimed that the victim was assaulted for accidentally reversing into a Datuk’s Mercedes Benz.
“Bodyguards took law in own hands,” reads the message, which claimed that the incident occurred beside a condominium in Bukit Antarabangsa, Kuala Lumpur.
Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar however denied that a ‘Datuk’ was involved in the incident, as alleged in the video.
Khalid said the driver of the Mercedes Benz and the victim had since filed police reports on the matter.

Police have also arrested a man in connection with the assault, although the police chief declined to reveal further details of the suspect.
Meanwhile, Selangor police chief Abdul Samah Mat today urged the public to stop spreading the registration number of the Mercedes Benz linked to the assault.
Abdul Samah was reported by Bernama as saying that police were investigating the case and would act on those suspected to have been involved in the incident.- Mkini
