A viral video making its rounds on social media, including this Facebook post by Berita Viral Trending, caught the attention of Malaysians recently, showing something suspicious taking place during a roadblock conducted by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) near a mall in Seri Kembangan, Selangor.
In the video, a traffic policeman can be seen receiving something from the driver of a luxury car that was pulled over and putting it in his pocket before walking away to rejoin the other officers at the roadblock.

In the video, which was recorded from a high vantage point, a lorry and a luxury car can be seen being pulled over at the roadblock manned by three personnel from the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT).
Several seconds in, the camera zoomed in on one traffic policeman talking with the driver of the luxury car.
Afterwards, the driver can be seen getting something from the vehicle’s front passenger seat before handing it over to the traffic policeman, who then puts it in his pocket.
The traffic policeman then walked away to join with the other two policemen at the roadblock.
