According to the Singaporean news outlet [Today](https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/jail-man-who-kept-inching-car-forward-against-auxiliary-policeman-who-stopped-him-woodlands-checkpoint-2150086), Shahrir pleaded guilty to the charge on Thursday (13 Apr) and is now disqualified from driving for a year. ![State-Courts](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/state-courts.jpg)Photo:[Mothership](https://mothership.sg/2020/09/driver-extra-two-days-jail/) ## Attempted to cut queue by using bus lane Shahrir was employed as a driver for his wife's transportation business, offering limousine services to transport individuals between Singapore and Malaysia. The incident occurred on March 23, 2023, around 7:08 am when Shahrir attempted to bypass the car queue by using the bus lane as he approached Woodlands Checkpoint. Auxiliary police officer Muhammad Noralif Amir Hamzah noticed Shahrir's actions and, along with his partner, signaled for him to make a U-turn. However, Shahrir ignored their instructions and continued attempting to cut the line. ![36yo M’sian Jailed 4 Weeks For Cutting Queue At SG Customs 1](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/36yo-msian-jailed-4-weeks-for-cutting-queue-at-sg-customs-1.png)Photo:[Today Online](https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/woodlands-checkpoint-get-new-wing-meet-growing-traffic-needs) ## Auxiliary police asked him to u-turn but he insisted to cut line Noralif stood in front of Shahrir's car to prevent him from entering the car lane, while his partner directed Shahrir to make the U-turn. Shahrir insisted on cutting the line, claiming he was late to pick up passengers in Singapore.

Noralif's partner managed to turn off the car's engine through the open window, but Shahrir restarted the engine and continued inching forward while Noralif was still standing in front of the car. Noralif had to take several steps back to avoid being hit. ## Detained by ICA and handed over to police After reporting the incident to his superiors, Noralif allowed Shahrir to proceed to Woodlands Checkpoint, where he was detained by Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers and handed over to the police. The prosecution sought a sentence of four to six weeks in prison for Shahrir and a 12-month driving disqualification, citing aggravating factors, reported *Today*. They emphasized the need to protect police officers from aggressive behavior and highlighted Shahrir's premeditated actions, which could have caused serious harm to the officer. Shahrir's defense counsel requested a lighter sentence, arguing that Shahrir was driving slowly and the officer could have easily moved away. However, the district judge disagreed, noting that the officer was in front of the car to prevent it from moving forward, and the argument about whether the officer could have moved was irrelevant. As the judge delivered the sentence, Shahrir broke down in court, stating that he "respects Singapore law". ### Read More: - [M’sian Man Hides Over 890 E-Vaporisers Inside Van, Gets Caught At Woodlands Checkpoint](https://weirdkaya.com/msian-man-hides-over-890-e-vaporisers-inside-van-gets-caught-at-woodlands-checkpoint/) - [M’sian Man Tries To Touch Auxiliary Officer’s Gun At Woodlands Checkpoint, Jailed 6 Weeks](https://weirdkaya.com/msian-man-auxiliary-officer-gun-jailed/) - [Here’s What 18 Countries Will Be Wearing At The Paris 2024 Olympic Games](https://weirdkaya.com/heres-what-18-countries-will-be-wearing-at-the-paris-2024-olympic-games/) - [These Are The M’sian Athletes Competing At The 2024 Paris Olympics](https://weirdkaya.com/these-are-the-msian-athletes-competing-at-the-2024-paris-olympics/) - [M’sian-Registered Car Cuts Queue And Ignores S’porean Police Who Stopped It At Woodlands Customs ](https://weirdkaya.com/msian-registered-car-cuts-queue-customs/) - [[VIDEO] ‘Hilux Karen’ cuts driver off at toll lane and shouts at her for not “putting her signal on”](https://weirdkaya.com/video-hilux-karen-cuts-driver-off-at-toll-lane-and-shouts-at-her-for-not-putting-her-signal-on/) --- It’s unrelated to the article but here’s our brand-new podcast – [Talk Je Lah](https://open.spotify.com/show/4IelMkYKBjhrIiYp4bdIjC?si=e-nHjzc7QjWXZgsQPMrsvw&dl_branch=1)! ---
