JOHOR BAHRU: A Singaporean man, who was detained yesterday to assist in the investigation in connection with an altercation with another driver and vandalism of a car in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Skudai, has been remanded for four days until June 12.
Johor Bahru Utara police chief ACP Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh confirmed this when contacted by Bernama today.
“The suspect has been remanded for four days until June 12,” he said briefly.
