Tips: What to do if stopped by Malaysian police

[spincer]

i heard from one of malaysia friend, once his friend was speeding and was blocked by TP, he slotted a RM1 notes under his document and hand over to the TP, the TP quickly slotted in his pocket without being noticed of RM1.....ha ha ha....then he drove off....RM1 for speeding.

just take the ticket..if they say u have alot of outstanding fines and wanna ask you to go police station for coffee..tell them u'll pay in the malaysia embassy back in singapore as u don't feel safe travelling around to other areas.

Hmm I thought the fines can only be settled at police stations in M'sia itself?

Sporean - "Summon" at least rm 50.
Msia - "Summon" rm 20 after nationality discount.

Malaysia... Truly Asia....

My lawyer's friend from KL gave me these useful tips when you drive in Malaysia highway/federal roads:

Procedures to follow in the event you are stopped by uniformed police officers while driving:-
1. Stop the car and wind down your window.
2. If the police officers ask for your documents, request to see their IDs first.
3. If you are satisfied about their identity, ask them if you are being summoned, and for what offence.
4. Produce your identity card and driver's license and wait to collect your summon ticket.

In the event that the police officers ask you to follow them to the police station:-
1. Ask if you are under arrest and for what offence.
2. If you are not under arrest, you have the right to leave.

In the event you are flagged down by persons you believe could be plain clothes police:-
1. Do not stop because plain clothes police officers do not have the authority to stop you.
2. Drive to the nearest police station and lodge a report. (The same procedure applies to pedestrians)

I think it's very helpful cause alot of people are not sure what to do since they do not accept "coffee" money. Sometimes dont give "coffee" money also wrong. Give them "coffee" money also wrong...
