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?

If 50RM like worth it leh? No meh?

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

    Why oolong tea could be the superior drink of choice at lunch

    Coffee - without sugar! - has long been (and still is) my go-to option to accompany my lunch. Amidst a larger 2025 goal of reducing the number of cups of kopi-o kosong I gulp down a week, however, I’ve recently thought about how my lunch experience can be switched up slightly with yet another sugarless drink: A can, or indeed bottle of oolong tea. Oolong tea is said to offer a perfect balance of flavour and functionality - perfect not just for complementing one's meal but also reinvigo

    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

    In a hyper-connected world, your physical presence is more important than ever

    The advent of apps and the Internet have revolutionised our ability to connect instantaneously. From social media to video calls to messaging apps, our capacity for real-time communication is unprecedented. However, it seems that the more hyperconnected we are online, the further apart we're growing in real life. Experts' Consensus Doctors, scientists, and specialists have all reached the same conclusion: Staring at our devices causes us to drift further apart – a trend I've obser
