The only times we would see real guns being used would be in action movies. Thus, if we were to come across a person who pulled out one, we would probably be running for our lives.
Netizens were recently left stunned after a man was filmed brandishing a gun in broad daylight near a traffic light in Terengganu. Thankfully, the gun turned out to be fake.
M’sian man seen waving fake gun in public
In a 23-second video shared by @MYNEWSHUB on X (formerly Twitter), it showed a man dressed in a dark-coloured jacket riding a motorcycle.
Suddenly out of nowhere, he pulled out a gun out from his jacket and began waving it around, as though he was looking for someone to fire the gun at.
Typically, fake guns have an orange tip to indicate that they are not real. However, this particular gun lacked such a marker, making it appear alarmingly authentic.
According to the post caption, the incident took place at a traffic intersection near Bukit Besar, Kuala Terengganu on Wednesday (Jul 17).
Tested positive for drugs
Sinar Harian later reported that the 26-year-old suspect, a food stall assistant from Ranau, Sabah, was arrested during a raid conducted at Jalan Sultan Mahmud, Kampung Ladang Sehat, around 1.30pm yesterday (Jul 18).
Kuala Terengganu district police chief Assistant Commissioner Azli Mohd Noor said the arrest was made following a tip-off from the public via social media.
Several items were also seized by police during the raid, including black imitation pistol with the inscription ‘De In Israel’, a pair of blue jeans, a black jacket, a Honda C70 motorcycle, a key, a helmet and a black visor.
Azli added that a urine test revealed that the suspect tested positive for methamphetamine and that the suspect admitted to picking the fake gun from a rubbish bin.
The case is currently being investigated under Section 36(1) of the Firearms Act 1960.
