A Singaporean woman driving to Kuala Lumpur said she felt pressured into paying what she thought was “kopi money” (bribes) to authorities after being pulled over along an expressway near Malacca on Friday (May 15) morning.
The woman, who identified herself only as Min, told AsiaOne on May 26 that she and her partner were stopped by the Malaysian traffic police for allegedly speeding.
It was her first time driving to the capital.
According to the 26-year-old small business owner, they were “filtered off the road” as traffic police had partially blocked the expressway, and were directing vehicles in and out.
“We thought it was some random checking and most of the cars that were stopped had their [car] boot opened,” Min recalled, who also shared about her experience on TikTok.
The traffic police, she said, informed the pair that they had been speeding and showed them a screenshot of their car plate number.
While Min was looking for their identification documents, she claimed the officer told them to head to the back of the car and that only one person was allowed there.
