As the driver tried to force their way into the queue, they were caught by a Malaysian police officer. Their passport was then seized.
Following that, they were allegedly issued a summons of S$47 (RM150).

However, it seems that the Malaysia-registered car did not have any existing summons as of 2 Oct.
Netizens praise Malaysia police
Many netizens praised the Malaysian police for their prompt action.
Some felt that it was satisfying to watch justice be served to those who try to cut into others’ queues.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. While being stuck in traffic is understandably frustrating, it is no reason to use the bus lane in an attempt to cut the line.
So when on the roads, do abide by traffic regulations and respect other motorists to ensure everyone has the smoothest journey possible.
