There are no Chinese police vehicles being used in Malaysia.

Police said this in a statement, after claims were posted on a Facebook fan page that the Chinese vehicles were used by the force in the country.

The allegations came with a photo of two Malaysian police vehicles emblazoned with Chinese characters.

The statement added the two vehicles in the photo were actually props used for filming a movie entitled 'The Original Sin' in Putrajaya.

It added that the police took the allegation seriously as it clearly intended to create a bad perception towards the force.

The fan page, which used a profile picture and a name of a former top national leader, had questioned the Home Ministry for allowing the use of the Chinese characters on Malaysian police vehicles.

Authorities also advised the public to be prudent and careful in using the social media platform, as well as refrain from posting something which is potentially slanderous.
