Global damage done by just one single cop


ALL it took was the corrupt act of one single cop to smear our national dignity and honour globally.

If you haven’t seen the video already, it was filmed by a British couple who are touring the globe in a camper van. On their way to Ipoh, they are pulled over by a traffic cop who issues a summons for speeding, and then asks them for RM100 to “settle” the fine on the spot (“Bukit Aman probes traffic cop offering on-the-spot summons settlement to UK couple”, Sunday Star, Jan 28; online at tinyurl.com/5cbs8sbp).
