KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — The police have arrested a man, believed to be a school van driver, who was seen dangerously dropping off and picking up students in a viral video.
Kajang police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof confirmed that the 59-year-old suspect is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for dangerous driving.
