Another Video 'Asking RM100' This Time From An Australian YouTuber Goes Viral
THE POLICE ASKED FOR RM100=TRAVEL WITH LUKE DAMANT
Recently there was an issue of a traffic policeman asking for RM100 from a UK YouTuber couple - Tread The Globe, after driving over the speed limit.
The Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) stated that they are investigating the incident without any tolerance for graft
However, the UK couple's video is not the only one who has gone viral, now another video clip has gone viral of an Australian couple being given the option to pay fines at a 'discounted price'.
Through the YouTube vlog Travel with Luke Damant , at minute 36:41 of the video uploaded in early November 2023 Luke claims he was stopped by a policeman for riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet. Luke is a celebrity YouTuber with over 1.31 million subscribers.
Then the policeman said that the Australian must pay a fine of RM300 at the nearest police station immediately.
"You have to pay the fine immediately because you are a tourist. If you are a local, you have one month to settle the fine," said the police officer to Luke.
Then, the enforcement member gave Luke a choice whether to follow him to the police station 10 kilometers away to complete the summons or get a 'discount' there.
Luke chose to pay the 'discount'. He stated whether RM100 was enough because he was worried that he would be arrested again by other policemen.
However, the member asked him to get a helmet because the distance to the police station was quite far. He also said that it was quite dangerous for Luke's safety to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
They then made a 'transaction' in a back alley near Luke's location and the pair were stopped.
After that he immediately went to a nearby shop and got a half-face helmet that cost RM50 — at least he could avoid being arrested again.
He explained again, he did not think that the police in Malaysia were quite as strict as in Bali when riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
