Accordingly, when the clip was spread, causing a stir on social networks with mixed opinions, the Board of Directors of Ho Chi Minh City Police Department directed relevant units to investigate and clarify, Mr. T. voluntarily came to the police station to present himself and work.

According to Mr. T., during his time working as a GrabBike driver, he often passed by the Vo Nguyen Giap - Do Xuan Hop intersection, Phuoc Long A ward, Thu Duc city. He noticed the Youth Volunteer Force and the Traffic Police adjusting the traffic lights.

Since the beginning of 2025, Mr. T. has opened the cabinet several times to adjust the traffic lights at the intersection mentioned above. Mr. T. clearly stated that the motive and purpose was to regulate the flow of vehicles to help clear the traffic and avoid congestion.

According to Mr. T., he did not adjust traffic lights for his own benefit or without anyone's request or guidance.

Mr. T. realized that he had no duty to control the traffic lights without permission, which was wrong, and pledged not to repeat the offense.

Based on the declaration and professional measures to clarify the details, and at the same time determine that Mr. T's behavior has not caused any major consequences, the authorities have considered administratively handling him.
