Myvi driving against traffic on PLUS highway in Johor

Why are we seeing these lawan arus cases so often? Yesterday night, anthraxxx781 posted a video on X showing a silver Perodua Myvi driving against traffic on the PLUS highway. According to the video timestamp, the incident happened yesterday afternoon.

The dashcam car was driving on the fast lane on the North South Highway in Johor, when the Honda City Hatchback in front of it slowed down drastically before coming to a near stop. The Honda then evaded an oncoming Myvi, which the camcar had to do as well. Fortunately, both cars managed to evade the intruder safely – hopefully no one else collided with it.
