Drink-driving: Man remanded for four days

An unemployed man was remanded for four days starting today to facilitate the investigation into a case related to driving under the influence of alcohol.

Port Dickson district police chief, Aidi Sham Mohamed said, in the 10.40 pm incident at Taman PD Utama, the 45-year old man was ordered to stop by the police for inspection after driving in a suspicious manner.

“After being ordered to stop, the inspection did not find anything amiss. The driver was then ordered to undergo breath analyser test.

The case was being investigated under Section 45A (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. - BERNAMA
