A MOTORCYCLIST and his pillion passenger were thrown off their vehicle when a car with a Singaporean registration plate suddenly swerved into the emergency lane along the North-South Expressway yesterday.

The incident occurred at about 1.45pm at KM 123.2 of the expressway.

According to Batu Pahat police chief Ismail Dollah, the 52-year-old driver from Singapore lodged a police report at the Yong Peng police station about three hours later.
