POLICE will investigate a case involving a man, believed to be a former secondary school teacher, who tied a rope around a cat’s neck and hung it from the side-view mirror of the pickup truck he was driving, as seen in footage that went viral on social media recently.
Another road user captured the incident on video while the man was driving along the Batu 2 stretch of Jalan Mersing in Johor at 9:50 am yesterday.
Kluang District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Bahrin Mohd Nor said no police report has been filed regarding the case so far.
However, it is learnt that an administrator of a Facebook group has provided the police with details concerning the man and the vehicle he was driving for further action.
It is understood that a police officer will file a report based on the viral video, which will allow for the opening of an investigation file.
The police are expected to issue a further statement regarding the case in the near future. – November 13, 2026
