A video of a 35-year-old policewoman in Malaysia insulting her colleagues went viral and eventually led to her arrest.
According to the Selangor Police Chief, Hussein Omar Khan, the woman was arrested at approximately 1:20am last night.
In the video, she is seen and heard to be saying, “You’re a low-ranking police officer, you don’t have the right. You’re just a lance corporal!”
She also started dishing out derogatory remarks toward her fellow police officers, saying they lack the credibility to engage in conversation with her due to their lower ranks.
The incident started when the police officers requested to see her identification card, suspecting her involvement in a debt collection incident, as reported by NST and cited by Acting Gombak Police Chief Superintendent Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir.
“The suspect will be granted bail after a thorough investigation is conducted, as more police reports have been filed involving the suspect,” he was quoted as saying by New Straits Times.
He said police had also seized a mobile phone to aid in their investigative efforts.
The police officer in question, currently under scrutiny for criminal intimidation, is additionally accused of obstructing public servants from carrying out their duties and employing offensive, disrespectful, or demeaning language.
It is also not her first time causing a scene. Another viral video captured the same officer engaged in a heated argument with a member of the public at a temple regarding a parking dispute at a shopping mall.
In the footage, she can be observed shouting at a man and a woman, while the person recording the incident described her as “crazy.”
