The text highlighted that Malaysians often harbour a sense of “trauma” when encountering police on the roadside, associating such encounters with roadblocks, potential legal actions, unfriendliness, or arrogance.

The post underscored the prevalent gap between public perception and the reality of various situations involving law enforcement.

The authors of the post emphasized that these assumptions stem from a lack of awareness regarding the actual circumstances, calling attention to the fact that people are often uninformed about the true nature of police engagements.

In challenging these stereotypes, the post sought to bridge the divide between public perception and the everyday realities faced by the police force, inviting a more nuanced and understanding perspective from the community.
