Malaysian officer at JB checkpoint gets some easy money from drivers who like to take shortcuts

TL;DR – A video uploaded on SGRV shows a Malaysian traffic enforcer casually strolling along the long queue of cars at the JB checkpoint and collecting what looks like money from cars travelling on the motorcycle lane. Now, that's easy money!

We all like to take shortcuts now and then. I'm guilty of it myself occasionally.

There are some shortcuts in life one should never take.

This is one of them. OR IS IT?

Watch the 42-second video and make that decision for yourself.

What happened?

If you can't see, the empty left lane is for motorcycles.

The right lane is obviously for cars.

Along comes a car travelling on the motorcycle lane. Uh oh!

The officer walks up to the vehicle's window, sticks his hand in, takes something and goes on his merry way.

No words needed. Their relationship transcends the spoken word.

He does the same thing with another car, and we can have a closer look at what's being passed to him.

Looks like money, doesn't it?

Just some calculations

Let's say if it was 50 RM. Paying a 15 SGD fine is okay to skip the queue, no?

Even if it's 100 RM, that's like 30 bucks to escape a long wait time.

Hmm.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination
