Sepang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman said officers had opened an investigation under Section 268 of the Penal Code after receiving a report about the incident.
“We will not tolerate this,” he told reporters at the 69th Independence Day convoy flag-off here today. “If the public has information, they can come forward.”
Authorities are monitoring the site but have not found the suspect during checks. He added that officers recently found nails at the location after responding to reports.
Norhizam said the nails endangered drivers because the approach has sharp bends that increase the risk of crashes. “Our personnel have picked up nails at the scene,” he said. “We will step up patrols to ensure public safety.”
The alert follows a viral video showing a police officer discovering nails and metal objects strewn on the road to Cybersouth in Dengkil early on Monday.
Separately, Norhizam said police are also watching for upside-down Jalur Gemilang flags in Sepang after reports of similar incidents elsewhere. Patrols will ensure all flags in the district are displayed correctly to prevent intentional or accidental misuse.
“If any flags are found upside down, we will take action and file a report,” he said, adding that no such cases have been reported in Sepang so far.
