  "account": "A bus driver has been commended for stepping off his bus to chastise car drivers who were obstructing the designated bus lane near Johor Bahru's customs. The incident was captured on video and shared on Instagram by @jon_tri_fast on August 20, amassing 367,000 views by August 23. The bus driver, seen with a neck pillow, was observed standing in the rain and approaching the offending vehicles. He knocked on a car's window, which belonged to a Singaporean-registered vehicle. The film's narrator praised the bus driver, commenting, \"Look at our driver.\" Passengers on the bus applauded when the bus driver returned. The video then shifted to an encounter between a Malaysian police officer and a car driver believed to have used the bus lane. The car driver was reportedly handed a passport and asked to re-join the queue, in accordance with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's policy in Singapore.",
