What to do if you are approached by policemen? There is no other choice than to cooperate because who knows, we might be helping them with a case.
However, there have been many cases in Malaysia and other countries as well, where people claimed to be policemen. We do not know what is their attention, but we should always be careful when encountering something like this.
Talking about a fake policeman, the girl group, DOLLA, encountered a scary incident with three so-called policemen.

According to DOLLA, the three ‘policemen’ were not in their uniforms and they did not ride in a police car. They continued approaching the girls and started to interrogate them without showing them any police badges.
The ‘policemen’ also managed to take pictures of the girls’ identity cards without their consent. The men insisted they are policemen when one of the DOLLA’s members asked them about their actions.
From comments on Twitter, several people had encountered a similar thing:

From their experience, most of the so-called policemen asked them for their identity cards. There is a possibility that they will use the information on the cards for their own selfish use.
