MELAKA, Nov 8 — A Threads video is raising questions over whether traffic police gave a Barisan Nasional (BN) convoy priority at the time of a two-car accident at a junction on the Alor Gajah-Melaka Tengah-Jasin (AMJ) highway.
The video from a dashboard camera showed a car turning right at the traffic lights junction while another car was travelling straight when they collided, veering into the front vehicles on a third lane.
The video, posted by Threads user @alfshrf, was shared with claims that traffic police had held back road users to let the convoy through.
On social media, someone remarked that the convoy vehicles carried BN campaign stickers and asked what had earned the group priority on the road.
It noted that the convoy vehicles carried BN campaign stickers, and asked what had earned the group priority on the road.
If the priority was tied to an individual’s security, the post asked who that person was, in what capacity, and whether it extended to the whole convoy.
It said the accident should be investigated, asking whether there had been confusion over instructions and how movement from each direction was controlled.
The post added that video footage alone did not settle who was at fault.
It called on the police to explain how traffic was managed at the time.
It also said questions about the convoy itself should be answered by Melaka BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh and the party, since the vehicles carried the identity of the coalition he leads in the state.
Among the questions it asked were who led the convoy, where it was heading, and on what basis other road users were stopped for it.
The post also voiced concern that party convoys appeared to receive treatment ordinary motorists do not, even as campaigning for the state election was still under way.
Malay Mail could not independently verify the video or the claims accompanying it, and no statement from the police, BN or Ab Rauf was immediately available.
