The woman and her friend cleared Singapore immigration at about 10.50am that day. A few minutes later, an auxiliary officer spotted Wang's car in the dedicated bus and lorry lane and stopped them. Wang then offered the officer RM50 to let her continue driving. The latter refused and requested her to present her passport.
Wang's second offer was firmly denied by the auxiliary officer, who stated that the incident had been captured on their body-worn camera.In court, the woman said her English is poor and she had thought the Malay auxiliary officer worked for the Malaysian authorities. She thought they had wanted more money and hence offered the bribe again.
