PETALING JAYA: A bus has been captured on video, allegedly speeding recklessly and threatening to run a car with at least three passengers including a one-year-old child into a road divider along the Kuala Lumpur-Genting Highlands highway near here.

The 51-second video, posted by Facebook user Khalsom Som on Sunday, also showed the driver of a red bus gesturing angrily at the driver of car when his vehicle drew abreast of them on the highway.
In the video, the bus can be seen pursuing the car and weaving in and out between traffic on the three-lane highway.
After the bus overtakes the car, the bus driver prevents them from moving forward by veering into their path on the rightmost lane.

Khalsom said the harrowing ordeal took place on March 18 while she was returning to Kuala Lumpur from a wedding near Genting Highlands.
She said she was approaching a two-lane tunnel when the bus bearing the license plate number WWU 5909 sped into the tunnel on the fast lane.
Her mother, who was driving the car, then honked at the bus.
"He immediately started honking back as he flew into the left lane just ahead of us.
"Furious and concerned as we had my one-year-old baby in the car with us, my mother tried to 'get away'," she said.
Khalsom said that after the bus overtook them, she told her mother to slow down as her baby was in the car.
"He drove right ahead of us, intermittently slamming on the brakes and did not allow us to get past him," she alleged, adding that the bus "tried to squash us into the divider."
Khalsom said they finally lost the bus when they reached a toll plaza.
The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has since responded to her Instagram post and said that action was being taken against the bus driver.
"Notice 79 has been issued for dangerous driving," the Commission said, adding that the vehicle's permit has been revoked pending the investigation.
SPAD also said it would be interviewing the bus operator and the complainant immediately.
