00:11staff member at the Johor Bahru branch in November. According to a statement,

00:16PUSPACOM Chief Executive Officer Mahmood Razak Bahman said that the altercation occurred after

00:23the customer's commercial vehicle failed the brake test during a periodic inspection. The

00:28failure prompted the suspect to confront the involved PUSPACOM vehicle inspector,

00:38due to failure in inspections is completely unacceptable, as the inspection itself is

00:43an indication that the vehicle is not safe to be used on the road. Mahmood adds his team is

00:49reviewing measures to tighten security at PUSPACOM premises to prevent such incidents from recurring.
