A local man in his seventies has been arrested for drunk driving, Public Security Police (PSP) spokesman Wong Chi Weng said during a regular press conference yesterday.
Wong identified the suspect as a male surnamed Leong who works as a waiter.
According to Wong, while Leong was riding his motorcycle along Avenida do Almirante Lacerda (提督馬路) in the wee hours of yesterday, he was stopped by officers at a roadblock. Leong was found to be reeking of alcohol, and a breathalyser test showed that his alcohol concentration was 1.56 grams of alcohol per litre of blood.
Under questioning, he admitted to drinking in his friend’s home that night.
The suspect has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), facing a drunk-driving charge, Wong said.
