SHAH ALAM, Two policemen were arrested for allegedly extorting money from a part-time burger seller. South Klang District Police Chief ACP Cha Hoong Fong said they were arrested last Wednesday (Aug 7) following a report by a 22-year-old local man, who claimed he was approached by the two policemen while on his way to Bukit Tinggi, Klang, to deliver a customer's order. According to the victim, the incident occurred at about 1.10 am on Aug 6 on the Shah Alam Highway (Kesas) before the exit to Bandar Puteri, Klang, when he was stopped by a police patrol car. "During the inspection, the policemen found him (victim) riding a motorcycle with an expired road tax and then requested some money from the victim to avoid his motorcycle being confiscated.
