Bruneians have received messages on social media concerning the need to carry valid vehicle documentation when crossing the border to Miri or Limbang from October 15 onwards.

Miri district deputy police chief superintendent Stanley Jonathan Ringgit, during an interview with the Media yesterday, declared the contents of the viral text message to be false.

"But even if it's true you should not be afraid of roadblocks unless you've done something unlawful," he said adding that there still Bruneians who haven't settled their past traffic offences.

He also advised Bruneians to immediately settle their fines at any Malaysian police station to avoid problems with the authorities.

According to a previous report published on October 17, 2015, a total of 1,699 out of 1,778 Bruneian drivers were only able to settle the fines.

A crackdown on Brunei-registered vehicles was organised by the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) on October 15, 2015. Vehicles were screened for offences under the Road Transport Act 1987 enacted by the RMP.

The roadblocks were set up at strategic locations near the Brunei-Miri border in Sarawak as well as the Kuala Lurah control post by personnel from the Bukit Aman Royal Malaysia Police Headquarters.
