KULAI: Police have called up the driver behind the viral video showing a red car going against traffic at Jalan Ismail, here.

Kulai OCPD Asst Comm Tan Seng Lee said the incident occurred last Saturday (Dec 21) at 5.30pm involving two vehicles.

“According to preliminary investigations, the red car, driven by a 25-year-old man, was travelling from Khet Long Market towards the Gemilang roundabout when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
