7 Singapore Porsche drivers find themselves on Malaysia's wanted list after driving "recklessly" on a single-lane road

Singapore drivers have earned themselves a bad reputation in Malaysia after a certain someone made headlines for a road rage incident that occurred at Tuas Second Link.

Since then, many have began keeping a watchful eye on Singapore-registered cars and the way Singapore drivers behave on foreign soil. 

Unfortunately, a Singapore Porsche convoy in Malaysia caught the attention of a local driver who filmed them driving "recklessly" and subsequently made a police report on them.

Watch the video here:

What Happened? 

A group of Singapore-registered Porsches were travelling on a single-lane road in Malaysia, intending to drive in a "convoy style" configuration.

To maintain their convoy configuration, several Porsches overtook the cam car driver, who was in the middle of the Porsche convoy.

The cam car driver deemed the overtaking manoeuvre by the Porsche drivers to be "reckless".

So unsurprisingly, the Malaysian driver used his mobile phone to film the overtaking incident while driving and subsequently made a police report about them.

In all honesty, I felt the overtaking manoeuvres by the Porsche drivers were not reckless at all (despite a few of them crossing the double solid white lines).

Here's why:

1) They ensured that the traffic in the opposite direction was clear before performing the overtaking manoeuvre; and

2) They performed the overtaking manoeuvre swiftly yet safely, which did not cause the cam car to perform any abrupt braking.

Wanted by Malaysian Authorities

Malaysian authorities are now attempting to track down the 7 Porsche drivers involved in the "reckless" incident. 

Below is the original media statement by the Kota Tinggi District Police Chief, Johor:

Cam car driver obviously forgot to "ownself check ownself".

My exact sentiments.

After the stolen Honda Civic Type R incident and the Hyundai Elantra, whose wheels got stolen in KSL City Mall, it is not uncommon for more Singaporeans to take additional precautions while travelling in Malaysia.

I agree to take additional precautions while travelling in Malaysia.

Just don't drive your Porsche out of SG :grin:

Crossing double white lines but not dangerous? OK. Cross some more one day there will be a king Kong lorry coming the other way.

Whether sg drivers break rules here or in Malaysia, they should be caught and fined.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    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

    Less caffeine leads to more dreams

    There's nothing like a double espresso to kickstart your morning, especially if it's extracted from medium- or dark-roasted beans. What a tasty way to begin the day. I enjoy coffee, but I'm not a caffeine addict so it's not a must for me to consume. In fact, lately, I've only been drinking it once or twice a week - doing this ensures that when I do drink it (to power my way through a hectic day), the caffeine kick will be well and truly felt. I did not stop drinking coffee thrice a day
