Bro,

i think once being stop, better turn on the "recorder".
they trick you, when you try to settle, they catch you.

BUT, what is the proof? they got recorder?
If not, they can also anyhow say you bride them, right?
((since they report you, they got point))
because the court will "believe" the officer, even you go for court case. right?

anyone want to share some experience?

Four-hour ride of terror in Johor Barufor S'porean couple

The Singaporean couple were refuelling their car near the Plaza Pelangi shopping mall in Johor Baru for the trip home at about 11.15pm on Saturday.

But the Lims were suddenly approached by two men in their 30s, one of whom had a knife. They said Mr Lim owed them RM65,000 (S$25,600) and recognised him through his vehicle’s licence plate number.

The couple had travelled to Johor Baru more than 40 times in the past two years and had never encountered anyone making such a claim.

Fearing for their safety, Mr Lim sped off towards the immigration checkpoint. The two men caught up with the couple in their white lorry.

Then followed four nerve-racking hours driving around the city from one ATM to another to draw money to pay the men.

The two men took off with RM6,000 and the couple's mobile phones.

I was staying at Taman Pelangi during my visit to JB this year and was travelling alone. Luckily nothing happened to me that time.

I think need to reconsider my decision of staying at the same area again during my next year visit as that area is famous for crime.

That Four-hour ride of terror report also mentioned four recent crimes in M'sia.

Tips from Singapore and Johor Police
By Ng Jun Sen and Matthaeus Choo

A Singaporean couple was robbed in JB at a petrol station right next to the Johor police HQ. They had called the JB police to come assist them, but no help arrived even after 15 minutes of stalling for time with the robbers.
Here are some tips from the Singapore and JB police:

- Never take shortcuts through dark, deserted places. Keep to well-lit areas with people and traffic.

- Pack your belongings in inconspicuous bags. Expensive bags can draw unnecessary attention.

- Clean out your wallet or purse before you go. take only essential credit cards. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.

- Don't display expensive jewellery, cameras and other items that might draw attention.

- Don't be distracted by strangers creating a commotion or accidentally spilling something onto you.

- Carry your purse close to your body. Carry your wallet in your front pocket.

- Park your vehicle in well-lit areas and in parking spaces where there is security.

- Use additional security equipment such as steering wheel locks, clutch and brake locks, disc locks, gear locks and audible alarm systems to secure your vehicle. Johor police hotline: 07-221-2999

Report from The STAR dated 8 December 2013 :-

Pay up or face the music, errant S’pore drivers warned

JOHOR BARU: Police are on the lookout for errant Singaporean drivers with outstanding summonses under the Ops Cantas Khas Trafik.

State police chief Senior Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said 10 warrants had been issued so far against such drivers from the republic.

He said Singapore police would also be notified to help with the search.

“We will use all means to track them down. We will also be setting up roadblocks along highways, major trunk roads and at the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quaran­tine complex (CIQ),” he told reporters after opening the state level crime awareness day at Tesco Tebrau here yesterday.

He also warned Singaporean drivers who had received traffic summonses over the years to pay their fines or be prepared to face the music.

Since Ops Cantas Khas Trafik was launched in the state on Nov 25, police have collected almost RM150,000 in fines from traffic offenders.

“We will continue to conduct operations to find errant drivers and suspected criminals,” he said.

ALL Singaporeans who fill up petrol in their cars in JB/Malaysia, please read the following WARNING :-

Report from The New Paper (Singapore ) dated 27 January 2014 :-

Mechanics say tilting car to fill more petrol can be dangerous

A photo of a man filling up his tilted Singapore-registered car at a petrol station in Johor Baru has gone viral in online forums on both sides of the Causeway.

The picture, initially posted and edited on a Malaysian forum, had captions in Chinese describing the man as "silly" and a "cheapskate" for jacking up the rear of his car just to get a few extra dollars' worth of petrol.

The photo on citizen journalism website Stomp has more than 46,000 views and almost 100 comments.

Netizens in Singapore forums mocked his unorthodox method, with some saying they were embarrassed with his actions while others defended him, saying he had done nothing wrong.

Car mechanics told The New Paper that his method would not increase the intake of petrol into his car.

One of them, Mr Hanafi Othman, 32, said he has never seen it in his 12 years in the industry and described it as "quite crazy".

"Jacking up the car would not make any difference," he said.

"Maybe the idea was to let the air escape from the petrol tank to create more space, but I doubt there would be any noticeable difference.

"If he fills up the tank to the brim before removing the jack to lower his car, some petrol might spill out, which could be dangerous."

Another mechanic, who wanted to be known only as Mr S.H., has seen this method before but agrees that it might do more harm than good.

The mechanic, who is in his 40s and has six years of experience, said: "Filling up this way might cause uneven weight distribution to the car and loosen screws and bolts underneath the car.

"The method does not work at all."

TNP had in the past reported on other Singaporeans jacking their vehicles in attempts to get their money's worth at petrol stations across the Causeway.

Drivers were seen filling up after tilting their car with a wooden ramp. To gain a further saving of just over $1, these drivers even filled their tanks to the brim, putting themselves at risk.

Mova Automotive service adviser Luqman Nurhakim, 29, said: "Filling fuel tanks to the brim might cause the petrol to flow out and pose potential danger. It is best not to overfill."

Myths
Other fuel-efficiency myths that car mechanics have heard of include rocking the vehicle while pumping petrol and filling up in the morning when underground petrol storage tanks are cooler, thus producing denser petrol.

Both methods, however, are either myths or produce minimal increments in the amount.

Mr Luqman said: "Rocking the vehicle till the tank overflows and filling the tank to the brim again afterwards or jacking the car up can squeeze in only about 1 litre more of petrol.

"Petrol storage tanks are very insulated so there won't be any huge temperature differences no matter the time of day," Mr Luqman said.

"A definite way to save money on petrol would be to take care of the vehicle's engine, cutting down on excessive braking and sending the vehicle for regular maintenance."

Johor 'safe beyond doubt', says its police chief

The police chief of Johor has declared his state to be "safe beyond doubt".

Referring to negative perceptions of the crime situation in Johor and recent crime statistics, Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said that the state's police are in "full control", reports The Straits Times.

Datuk Mohd Mokhtar noted that the number of violent and property crime cases in Johor fell about 36 per cent between 2008 and last year. Overall, there were 17,105 crime cases in the state last year, or about 10 per cent less than in 2012.

The police chief also assured Singaporeans that they are not specifically targeted by criminals: "Crimes are committed when an opportunity arises regardless of (a victim's) race, religion, sex and nationality."

Of the 17 million Singaporean tourists in Johor last year, he noted that only 397 of them were victims of crime.

Besides enforcement by Johor police, Datuk Mohd Mokhtar advised that visitors also have to be responsible for themselves and take their own precautions against crime.

Samsters, do you believe what this police chief said?
