M’sia Police Looking for S’pore BMW That Drove Recklessly; Driver Could Face 5 Years’ Jailtime

Since the opening of the Causeway border, tearful reunions and feel-good moments were captured as some finally got to reunite with their loved ones after a two-year wait.

That being said, a slew of misbehaviour from Singaporeans has begun to surface, such as the illegal pumping of fuel by car drivers to save money.

(This is why we can’t have nice things.)

Now, another punk is added to the list – specifically one that’s driving a raunchy, gold-painted BMW car.

S’pore BMW Captured in Video For Dangerous Driving

In a video uploaded to Facebook, a Singapore registered car was spotted driving recklessly in Kota Tinggi, a town and capital of the Kota Tinggi district in Johor.

The Singapore BMW driver was captured on video cutting recklessly in front of other cars as it chionged to get ahead, cutting the path of other cars not just once but twice in a row.

(The definition of rushing to reincarnate I suppose.)

Online comments on the video have also said that the cutting was unnecessary as the driver could have made a move into the left lane.

Others have also expressed disappointment that the driver was there just to cause trouble in Malaysia.

Since then, the Kota Tinggi police said that the incident took place specifically at a traffic light intersection at Felda Gugusan Adela.

Kota Tinggi Police Searching For Reckless Driver

Since the upload of the video, the Kota Tinggi police have released a statement about the driver’s reckless actions. The Singaporean BMW driver was first spotted on 4 April, approximately around 2:30pm.

According to Mothership, the Kota Tinggi police clarified that the driver’s actions “could have caused an accident” to happen in the area. Investigations have started in an attempt to identify the driver under Section 42 (1) of Malaysia’s Road Transport Act 1987.

If found, the offender can be jailed for up to five years and fined up to RM15,000 (that’s about SGD$5000).

This was not the only driving-related incident that’s currently under investigation – another Singaporean couple got into trouble after they had tested out their Tesla’s autopilot cruising function, a function that was not allowed in Malaysia.

Let’s hope this marks the last of reckless and ungracious behaviour by Singaporeans in Malaysia.
