Was driving home early this morning around 1.15am after my pool session at Kafe Rack in Subang Jaya. I took the route of NPE Highway (there goes another RM 1.60 for the tarmac) heading towards Kuala Lumpur. Right opposite where the Shell station of Taman Sri Manja (can say pretty darn near where Canny Ong got murdered), I saw an image of a person trying to cross the road.

Upon closer view, that guy, a chinese in his late-30’s wearing nothing but his undies, was not crossing the road, but rather, walking IN the middle of the 3 lane highway with both his hands held up behind his head. Crazy fella, managed to slow down and stayed on the left lane to avoid him. I then noticed that a motorcycle almost hit him, perhaps the motorcyclist was riding way too fast to notice the human obstacle. I stopped at the side of the road, and promptly made a call on my mobile phone to Emergency Services (112).

Told the guy of the incident and he connected me to a nearby police station, gave down the details of the incident and my contact number. By the time I was done on the phone, the madman walked off the highway’s Jalan Templer exit and up the bridge towards the Jalan Templer roundabout. I followed him, while continue to provide specific location information over the phone to the police officer. He had then dispatched the patrol units around the area to investigate this incident. I followed him until he was stopped by the police and interrogated at the roadside, past the primary school at the roundabout, almost reaching the Mobil petrol station and the mosque.

Stopped for a while to see what was the police doing to the madman, he was crouching down, constantly saying sorry in Malay language. I then told the police officers that it was me who made the call and they said they’ll transport him to a nearby hospital. Well, so much for a weird incident.

I attempted to take a few photographs (the police officers allowed me), but it didn’t come out any good with my T610’s cameraphone. In case you’re wondering how he looks like, very much like RT (referenced here, here, here, here, and here)! smiley
