Here is the S’porean driver’s allegations
“Polis in KL. I’m Singaporean. Went there and they claimed I did not possessed Malaysia driving license, no visa to enter KL, claimed I drove into opposite direction which i did not and claimed issued IC is printed out as I kept passport in hotel.
Told me to avoid being arrested and fine I can “treat” them to which they meant money. Video you could see they told me to throw the money into the car and ensure no one is watching. My hand should not be in the car. Hence I quickly pulled my hand away. Happened on 10 April 2022 at 1230pm.”
