Firstly,  how can anyone not know that you need to have a passport with you when crossing a border?
Secondly,  the $3000 was a fine,  not a demand for a bribe. But in the end she bribed them.
Thirdly, will Singapore take action against her or her friend ? Singaporeans can drive Malaysian registered car here meh?

If you give them $3000, they will also pocket the money themselves. Don't think that they are so good to report back to the police station that these are money collected from fine.
