PETALING JAYA: Police have opened two investigation papers in the case of a woman who shouted at two policemen in Gombak on Thursday.
This comes after two video clips were circulated widely on social media, showing a woman scolding the officers for allegedly causing a ruckus in a residential area, and threatening to hit or arrest them.
In one of the clips, the woman was heard telling one of the policemen that he was just a lance corporal and should not act like the district police chief.
The nature of her outburst had led to speculation that the woman was also a police officer, but this could not be confirmed.
