Sepang police chief Norhizam Bahaman said the incident took place at a restaurant in Dengkil on July 22 last year.
Norhizam said the suspect is known to the victims and is from a different travel agency. “The couple lodged a police report, and we have opened an investigation paper,” Norhizam said in a statement.
Police will apply for a remand order tomorrow.
When contacted, Norhizam confirmed that the suspect was linked to a part-time tour guide who claimed she was threatened with death and beaten by a fellow Malaysian tour operator at a rented house in Japan on Jan 24.
However, the man was not the same person involved in the incident in Japan.
Harian Metro reported today that the woman said the tour operator slammed her head against a bed frame, pulled her hair, and stamped on her with his boots, leaving her covered in bruises.
The woman said she lodged a police report in Japan and reported the matter to the Malaysian high commission in Tokyo. She subsequently filed a report at the Sepang police headquarters and underwent medical examinations upon returning to Malaysia. - FMT
