The Johor police have vowed to conduct a thorough investigation following complaints posted on social media that its officers had extorted money from travellers in two Singapore-registered vehicles after directing them to the lane for heavy vehicles at a Malaysian checkpoint on March 10. A woman called Irene Teo said she was travelling back to Singapore via the Causeway when her car was ushered into a lorry lane by Johor Bahru officers.
Ms Teo alleged that police officers then stopped them at a “deserted side road” beside the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar CIQ complex and asked for the driver’s driving licence and their passports. The officer said he will help them return to the car lane and asked for RM600 (S$171) in return, Ms Teo said
