JOHOR BAHRU: The two suspects involved in a road rage incident near the Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) at the Tuas Second Link have been released by Johor police. 

A spokesperson from the Iskandar Puteri district police station told CNA on Wednesday (Jul 20) that the two suspects, a man and a woman, are currently “out on bail”. The man is a Singaporean citizen while the woman is a Malaysian with Singapore permanent residency.

“We will recall them if we need further statements on the investigation,” said the spokesperson. 

He added that statements on the case have been sent to the deputy public prosecutor but he could not confirm whether the two would be charged. 

A video of the incident shows a woman pushing against a black car in slow-moving traffic, before ripping off the front licence plate and throwing it at the windscreen.

A man later gets out of a Singapore-registered red Kia car and runs toward the victim’s vehicle, making offensive gestures.

In a statement last Friday, Iskandar Puteri district police chief Rahmat Ariffin said the two suspects involved in a case of mischief were arrested on Thursday night at the immigration checkpoint on the Malaysian side of the Second Link. 

The incident itself happened on Jul 10. 

“Both suspects admitted to being involved in the case,” Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Rahmat said in the statement.

“The suspects were believed to be unsatisfied when their vehicle was blocked and scraped when the incident happened.”

ACP Rahmat said on Sunday that the driver of the black Toyota Alphard was not injured and there was minor damage to the car.

He added that the victim was returning to Singapore from residential development Forest City in Johor when the incident happened.
