Recently, there have been several instances of conflicts between authorities and civilians, such as the tragic incident of an officer fatally running down a student outside a school and, just yesterday, reports of rape and extortion.
It's uncertain whether this video is recent or old, but it has resurfaced on social media. In the video, an officer with a sling bag can be seen not only verbally berating but also physically assaulting a man in a restaurant.
Info info. Video lama ke? Daripada video ni dengar macam brader kena beduk ni tak puasa lepastu mencuri. Tapi kenapa dibeduknya brader tu sebegini rupa? Apa guna undang-undang? Telegram Edisi Siasat pic.twitter.com/mZgX7VuJnj

The officer violently hits the man across the face and pulls his hair back, causing the man to gruntle and cry in pain. Others in the background seem to agree with the officer's aggressive behaviour towards the man. The context of the situation remains unclear, but based on the video, it appears that the police officer was assaulting the man for not fasting and allegedly being involved in a theft.
However, no action has been taken against the officer by higher authorities, and the officer continues to be on duty. Netizens express their concern, questioning why the officer resorted to such public violence regardless of the man's wrongdoing and emphasizing the importance of upholding the law.
