A Malaysian-registered car smashed through an immigration barrier at the Second Link checkpoint on 22 February before reportedly speeding towards Singapore
The incident took place at about 2.40pm on the Malaysian side of the border near the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB) Second Link.
A 33-second video clip of the incident later went viral after being shared in the Malaysia-Singapore Border Crossers (MSBC) Facebook group.
According to the New Straits Times, auxiliary policemen attempted to stop the black car after it entered the heavy vehicle lane at the complex's Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) Gate C.
When instructed to make a U-turn and return to the correct lane for cars, the driver refused to comply and crashed into an immigration barrier and four traffic cones.
The video shows the suspect accelerating and speeding towards the exit point towards Singapore.
The driver has not been apprehended as of 24 February
Tanjung Kupang district police chief ACP M Kumarasan said police are investigating the case under Section 427 of the Penal Code for mischief and Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.
He added that efforts to locate and arrest the suspect are ongoing.
Online commenters claimed the driver was later detained at Singapore's Tuas checkpoint, but this has not been verified by local media.
