Dads lock horns over their sons

The Star, Saturday June 6, 2015

KAJANG: It was a battle of two dads after one of them scolded the other man’s 14-year-old son for riding a motorcycle in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn here.

The men, both aged 42 and working in the IT industry, lived in the same block of flats while their sons were also friends with each other.

Kajang deputy OCPD Supt Abdul Ghani Mohamad Ji said one of the men noticed the two boys riding on a motorcycle in the residential area at about 8pm on Wednesday.

“The man scolded the boy handling the motorcycle because his son was the pillion rider. After the scolding, the boy went home and complained to his father and sister about the incident,” he said.

Angered by how his son was treated, the man brought his 19-year-old daughter along to confront their neighbour about the scolding.

Supt Abdul Ghani said both men then lodged separate reports at the Kajang police headquarters the next day.

“The pillion rider’s father claimed that the other man had injured him with a motorcycle helmet. At the same time, the other man alleged that his neighbour had harassed his daughter,” he said.

Both men have since been remanded for intentionally causing hurt with a dangerous weapon and for outraging modesty.
