Hulu Selangor police also advised the public not to have preconceived notions about the police.

"Sometimes Malaysians are 'traumatised' when they see policemen by the roadside. They think that there's a roadblock and that summonses are being issued. They also think policemen are unfriendly and arrogant.

"If we see (the same incident), all of us would stop to help, wouldn't you agree?"
