KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 — Police have questioned a man over a video online showing his 12-year-old son joyriding in a Perodua Viva with his other children.

According to New Straits Times, Sepang police chief ACP Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said investigators were made aware of the video on Monday evening.

"Our investigations revealed this incident occurred at Taman Putra Impiana, Puchong at around 8pm on Sunday.

"Further checks showed that the Perodua Viva car was being driven by a 12-year-old boy with his two younger siblings aged four and six. They were joy-riding in the neighbourhood,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.

Wan Kamarul said the father and the children were questioned at Sepang Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department office yesterday, for the investigation under the Road Transport Act.

In the video, the boy is seen launching the car over a speed bump, before coming to a stop around the corner after being flagged down.

The woman who recorded the incident then confronted him, and found the the two younger siblings, including one with a pacifier in the mouth, standing in the front passenger area without the safety belt.

According to the report, this is also not the first time the boy was believed to have been seen driving the car.
