SEREMBAN: Hours after a video clip showing a nine-year-old boy driving a car in Rembau went viral, another clip appeared here showing a boy believed to be 12 years old driving a tanker.
Seremban OCPD ACP Mohd Said Ibrahim said the preliminary investigation showed that the incident took place in Rantau, adding that the investigation is being carried out under Section 31 (1) of the 2001 Children’s Act.
“We have received a report on this and are investigating. The boy’s father is clearly negligent if he allowed his underage son to drive the tanker,” said ACP Mohd Said.
He added that the police are now looking for the boy and his father to assist in the investigation.
The 78-second clip shows a minor backing up and parking the tanker in what appears to be a yard.
In the clip, a man can be heard saying in Tamil that the boy was able to drive and park the tanker despite being only 12 years old.
Earlier today, a 54-second clip went viral showing a nine-year-old boy driving a Proton Saga along a village road in Rembau.
In the clip for “Handa orang Rombau haa”, the boy is seen sitting in the driver’s seat of a car and can be heard telling the man recording him that he was in his third year and that he studied at a school in Bongek.
Police have since issued a traffic citation to the boy’s father for allowing him to drive the car.
