A man who made a 7-month-old baby "smoke" vape in a viral video has been arrested on Monday.

Johor Bahru North district police chief ACP Rupiah Abd Wahid said the suspect was a friend of the mother's younger sister.

“According to the baby’s mum, the suspect – who was carrying her daughter at the time – was joking around before inserting a non-functioning vape into the girl’s mouth," she said.
