The video has garnered attention on social media and Malaysians have a lot to say about what they saw.
“I like that the border has reopened, but not the fact that they’re driving like this.”
“Rich and fancy cars but still opt to refuel in Malaysia.”
“That’s normal. Back in their place, step on the pedal for a bit and they reach their destination.”
It did not take long for the video to reach the attention of the police. On Monday (4 April), police from Kota Tinggi, Johor has released a statement and revealed that the incident took place at the traffic light in Felda Gugusan Adela, Johor. An investigation on the gold BMW under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 has also started.
If the driver is found guilty, he/she will face a jail sentence of not more than 5 years and a compound between RM5,000 to RM15,000.
The police also urged the public to drive safely and refrain from any acts that may possibly endanger the driver himself, as well as other road users.
