There has been an uproar over issues involving the integrity of security personnel such as the police, which has drawn public condemnation. Just this week, two cases have emerged involving police officers offering "discounts" to avoid road users being fined and taken to the police station.
What's even more alarming is that both cases involve foreign tourists who were detained for traffic violations. It is understood that both cases are currently being vigorously investigated by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM).
While these incidents may seem to tarnish the image of police officers somewhat, a viral video sheds a different light on the matter. In the video uploaded on Twitter, a driver of a yellow Volkswagen Beetle is alleged to have attempted to offer money to a police officer when stopped on the side of the road.
However, the officer appeared unaffected by the bribe attempt and proceeded to record the incident, leaving the driver and passengers of the car bewildered.
So far, the exact location and subsequent actions by the officer have yet to be confirmed. The sharing of the video has garnered widespread attention, with most people satisfied with the actions of the police officer while some condemned the driver's behaviour.
This goes to show that there are still many police officers carrying out their duties with integrity, in line with the uniformed personnel's slogan.
