PETALING JAYA: Police are looking for a man photographed wearing a T-shirt bearing the police logo and parking his vehicle illegally near a shopping mall at Damansara Perdana.
Petaling Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said they were alerted by a Facebook post on the incident.
"The post had the caption, 'My Kids Will Never Respect The Police' with a 13-second video clip showing the man wearing a T-shirt with the police logo and who had parked his vehicle illegally.
"Checks revealed that the incident occurred about 8.30am on July 3.
"The man was dropping off his wife, who works at the building when he was scolded by another motorist," he said, adding that checks revealed the man involved was not a policeman.
He said it was learnt that the T-shirt was handed out to participants of a fun-ride event organised by the police in Shah Alam previously.
"We are working to track down the driver of the vehicle.
"The case is being investigated under Section 48(1) of the Road Transport Act," he said, advising the public not to speculate on the incident.
He also reminded the public not to hastily point fingers and make accusations especially against law enforcement personnel without verifying the authenticity of such incidents.
"Those who intentionally issue defamatory statements may be liable to action under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation," he said.
Those with information on the case should contact Inspector Muhammad Hisyam Azih at 017-737 8704.
