Cheapskate or rebel with a cause – toll dodger in Beemer has opinions divided
PENNY-PINCHING foolishness or a case of rebelling against the highway operators? A video shared by the Malay Mail (@malaymail) on X showed a brazen and successful attempt at avoiding paying toll. A blue BMW is captured on dash cam video of tailgating a car just to avoid paying the highway tax. Did the driver of the blue BMW run out of credit on his TnG (Touch 'n Go) card or misplaced his wallet? Or was it a deliberate act of defiance? Premium car, but skipped the toll 💸. A dashcam caught this driver sneaking through by tailgating another vehicle at the toll. — Malay Mail (@malaymail) July 15, 2025 Opinions were divided over the antics of this extremely frugal driver. Some commenters were inclined to label the toll dodger as nothing but a cheapskate. One lamented the mentality of such entitled road users who wanted free use of facilities. The premium marque had sucked up all the funds, cried a few, obviously poking fun at the drivers' misplaced priorities – cash for luxury vehicle but not toll. One claimed that he would slow down on purpose so that the tailgating offender got a bump from the beam to teach the toll dodger a lesson. However, a few saw it as a rallying cry of defiance against highway concessionaires. Some commenters blamed weak enforcement of the law for encouraging such behaviour. Stiffer penalties including heavier fines (from the current RM300 or even a penalty of 10 times the existing toll amount) and even time behind bars would be a good deterrent. Suffice to say, many believed the offender should just be named and shamed with the number plate fully exposed (instead of purportedly blurred). At the end of the day, this is breaking the law. At the moment, failing to pay highway tolls can result in fines and, potentially, a criminal offence. Currently, toll evaders can be fined between RM2,000 and RM5,000 upon conviction under the Federal Roads (Private Management) Act 1984. A new law is proposed to make toll evasion a criminal offense as part of the multi-lane free flow (MLFF) system implementation. Such toll dodgers will need to be prosecuted and made an example of if any future barrier-free plan is to work. In the meantime, let's hope this BMW driver is enjoying his 15 minutes of infamy. – July 17, 2025

My50 pass can be renewed with Touch 'n Go e-wallet from July 1
KUALA LUMPUR: From Tuesday (July 1), My50 pass renewals can be made via the Touch 'n Go e-wallet as part of the government's move to digitalise public transport systems, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke. According to Loke, users can also be verified as Malaysian citizens via the e-know-your-customer (EKYC) system. 'Through the app, people can renew their My50 pass by using the NFC (near field communication) enabled TnG card,' he said here on Thursday (June 26). At present, My50 passes need to be renewed at RapidKL counters and the process takes two to three minutes per person, he noted. 'Imagine if there are 15 customers at one time, waiting times can go over 45 minutes. 'That's why I always get complaints about long queues at (such) counters,' he said. More to come

Woman Loses RM5K After Answering A Call From 'Boss'
Subscribe to our FREE A Malaysian woman just lost RM5,000 to a scammer who perfectly mimicked her boss's voice using artificial intelligence (AI). Welcome to 2025, folks, where you can no longer trust your own ears. It's 5:30 PM, just another mundane workday at a local shop. The company phone won't stop ringing. On the other end? A voice that's unmistakably her boss—same tone, same speaking patterns, same everything. The 'boss' needs Touch 'n Go (TnG) PINs urgently. Nothing unusual there; he's asked for similar favours before. (Video: Trust Me, I Sound Just Like Your Boss So our protagonist does what any good employee would—she runs from convenience store to convenience store, buying PINs worth RM5,000. The voice on the phone keeps pushing for more, creating that perfect pressure cooker of urgency and authority. Then comes the gut punch: After sending the final PIN, the line goes dead. Phone's switched off. And when she finally reaches her actual boss? Yeah, you guessed it – he never made that call. 'It was an AI voice scam,' the police later told her, probably with the same resignation as a doctor delivering bad news. These scammers are using artificial intelligence to clone voices, turning our trust in familiar voices into their latest hunting ground. (Pix: When Every Call Could Be a Con This isn't some high-tech heist targeting corporations. It's happening to regular people, in regular shops, on regular afternoons. And if you're thinking, 'That wouldn't happen to me,' remember—this woman had every reason to believe she was talking to her actual boss. Here's the raw truth: In 2025, hanging up on an unknown caller isn't rude—it's self-defence. (Pix: Your voice is now something that can be stolen and weaponised against your loved ones. So next time your phone rings, remember this story. Because in a world where AI can make anyone sound like anyone else, maybe the only voice we should trust is the little one in our heads saying, 'Wait a minute, let me double-check this.' Stay woke, folks. The scammers sure are. READ MORE : READ MORE : READ MORE : Share your thoughts with us via TRP's . Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.
