KUALA LUMPUR: A British couple running the channel "Tread the Globe" has confirmed that they are communicating with the police regarding the bribery case investigation.
In a statement posted on Facebook, the couple known as Chris and Marianne said that an unedited video showing a policeman asking for an RM100 bribe to settle a summons issued for speeding had been provided to the police.
"We can confirm that we have been communicating with the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department of the Royal Malaysia Police.
"We have provided them with the unedited video footage, date, time, and incident location. They have apologised and confirmed that they are investigating this incident fully, and there is no outstanding speeding ticket," read the statement on Thursday (Feb 1).
The influencers said they would post further updates when available and that the episode would not affect their love for Malaysia.
On Tuesday, three traffic policemen were arrested in connection to a viral video posted by a British couple alleging that a policeman had asked for an RM100 bribe to settle a summons issued for speeding.
Perak police chief Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said the three - aged 37 to 42 - from the state's Traffic Enforcement Investigation Department were arrested to assist with investigations. – Bernama
