CNA Explains: What to do when being chased by a fake police vehicle while driving in Malaysia?

JOHOR BAHRU: Malaysia police on Tuesday announced that two men were arrested for posing as police personnel and mounted an expressway car chase in which they allegedly tailed a driver who was travelling from Singapore to Genting Highlands.

In his Facebook post, Freeman Gan WT said that he initially believed the individuals chasing him were real police officers as he observed flashing blue lights on their vehicle. The clip also showed that the three individuals chasing him were wearing reflective vests and masks.Trio suspected of posing as police in Johor, mounting car chase on vehicle travelling to Genting Highlands

The spokesperson said that marked cars are patrol vehicles and they are typically recognisable by the official Royal Malaysia Police logo on the side of the doors and a “rectangular siren box” on top.The spokesperson added that unmarked cars are indiscernible from normal cars on the road and they are typically used for covert operations.

“I have seen police officers or detectives investigating criminal cases use their own private cars and they too use portable beacon lights so I understand that it can be difficult to ascertain,” said Tengku Ahmad Marwan.
