No mercy for reckless Singaporean drivers – PDRM

No mercy for reckless Singaporean drivers – PDRM

Ever since the land border between Malaysia and Singapore opened on April 1, there has been a number of viral posts on social media depicting the misdeeds of Singapore-registered vehicles, especially those pumping RON95 fuel.

There are even cases of unruly speedsters who were caught on camera (although the act of this is now considered unlawful) driving recklessly in Johor, a matter which has come to the attention of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM).

According to Johor traffic chief Superintendent M. Kumaresan, the police will not practice double standards and will act upon the law to the strictest measure. It doesn’t matter if the driver is a Malaysian or Singaporean; if one goes against traffic rules and endangers the public, they will face the full weight of the law.

“JSPT (Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department) is constantly enforcing the law through Ops Utama and other regular traffic routines at all locations, including highways, federal roads, state roads and the city. Regarding the reckless Singaporean driver, it is undeniable that it happened, and stern action will be taken,” Kumaresan told the press.

The police are currently investigating a number of such cases involving Singaporean vehicles, including that of an Austin Yellow BMW M4 that went viral on social media for speeding and making dangerous overtaking manoeuvres.

This particular case with the M4 is being investigated under Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. “PDRM and especially JSPT will not compromise with any individuals who deliberately break traffic rules and the law,” he added.

    Please be clear, the act of recording a wrongdoer is not unlawful if caught using handsfree recording devices such as mounted phone or dashcam or by the front passenger.
    It is only wrong when a driver is carrying a handphone to record. 2 wrongs dont make a right.

    Copy paste: “Please close the border again for the singapore motorist. Don’t let them come in except by public transport.
    Triple reciprocal charges for Singapore registered car”

    Singaporean driver? Sure?
    I think this is not about who the driver is. It is about enforcement on Singapore registered vehicles.

    • 2 years of excellent enforcement but the first thing they did after ropening border is to break the law. Their hands itchy at wanting to break laws here as soon as they arrive, what can enforcement do?

      This is not a matter of enforcement, this is a matter of sinkie education. What are they teaching their generations? Learn to break laws? What kind of lawless subhuman culture they have there?

    We should double the amount of fines and detain the vehicles for a month to teach these morons a lesson.
    Lately PDRM detain quite a number of heavily modified local cars .
    If our border enforcement is tidak apa,more Malaysians may be at their mercy for Vin Diesel kind of fast and furious driving.
    In Spore,do you think they dare drive like this?
    These speed demons are using our highways as their test racetracks.Shame on them.

        Not exactly like that. Its just that they are fed up of being policed 24/7 that when they come here it’s like a free-for-all way of living. Don’t go very far even our police drive like madman when got no emergency. What more the public. Most of the time both parties are at fault (Both parties being the ones who won’t let others overtake and the ones performing dangerous overtaking manoeuvres). I for one kind of enjoy this system since we can get away with small matters that have no significance to anyone. People just need to learn the road ethics and let faster cars overtake. You don’t gain anything by making us mad.

        • That is the problem when they never learnt ethics & morals. Go Japan, Korea & Taiwan, they have a law abiding society but they also have freer way of thinking within bounds of their high ethics & morals.

          Lee Kuan Yew thought he could inculcate such mentality with an island prison but all he did was cultivate prisoner mentality onto his people, they never learnt ethics & morality like the Japanese, Koreans, or Taiwanese so for generations each time they get to go out, they become devils & demons.

          So as long their education system & society lacks ethics & morality, they will continue to go crazy where they go, not just in Malaysia.

    I’d do the same if I had an M4 and have a slow moving Alphard in the way (Alphards are known for not giving way because rich person owns the road).
