JAKARTA - Later, Malaysian media was enlivened by one of the Persib Bandung players, Adam Alis, on social media about the alleged extortion (illegal levies) in the neighboring country.
The moment occurred after the match between Selangor FC vs Persib in the Asian 2 Champions League (AFC Champions League Two) on November 6, 2025.
The incident began when Adam Alis, along with his teammates, Kakang Rudianto and Robi Darwis, were dismissed by Malaysian police after the match when he left the hotel to eat.
Adam Alis recorded the interrogation moment and uploaded it to social media. In the video narration, Adam Alis said that the police were initially firm.
However, his attitude immediately changed to shock and changed well after Robi Darwis showed the TNI Membership Card (KTA).

"Two people (police) ride motorbikes, one of them has taken a photo of the number plate. Another one (interrogation). This is Robi (Darawis) army and Kakang," said Adam Alis in his video on TikTok social media.
"Where's the passport, don't take it, come down first, where's the identity card?" said the midfielder imitating the police's question.
"When Robi gave his identity (KTA), he immediately asked if you are a soldier? Already down. This is Robi, a soldier. This is the police bro."
"Don't go against the direction, immediately act kind, even though he already wanted to ask for the money," said Adam Alis.
In addition, the video also includes words that seem to compare with Indonesia, although it is not clear who is talking in the car.
"In fact, if in Indonesia just open the glass, it's already running."
"Just ticket King Persib," reads the voices in the video.
The video immediately received attention in Malaysia. Even local media, Harian Metro, said that Adam Alis's narrative in the video was different from what really happened.
They even wrote that Adam Alis had insulted police officers while on duty.
"The actions of a footballer from a neighboring country who was charged with insulting police officers while carrying out his duties drew anger from internet citizens who pushed for decisive action to be taken."
"Videos on social media that describe the leading Indonesian footballer along with several individuals in a car were detained by the police after being charged with countering the flow."
"Members (police) asked them to show identification documents and passports, but they couldn't show them before being asked to show KTA recognition from their country of origin."
"Based on the video, the player insulted police officers on duty asking them not to drive against the direction and also threw allegations that members of the police wanted to ask for money."
"Police officers reprimand them for carrying passports while in this country (Malaysia)," wrote Metro Daily.
The Metro Daily then summarized Malaysian netizens' comments regarding the incident. Netizens asked the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) and the Malaysian Royal Police (PDRM) to take firm action against the case because it had insulted the police.
Hanay saja, PDRM yang dihubungi Harian Metro mengaklumkan kejadian itu.
"We will distribute it if we get an announcement," said the PDRM spokesman.
Because of the upload of videos on his social media, this Maung Bandung attacking midfielder is now a public enemy in Malaysia.
However, several times this week, he has already apologized via video uploads, saying it was a joke.
"Friends from Malaysia, sorry, yes if something goes wrong. Joking was yesterday. Usually, fried," said Adam Alis.
Furthermore, the Persib player straightened out why he did not bring his passport when he left the hotel to eat.
"So, the passport is not holding it. Because we want to go home, the passport was collected to Pak Irfan to buy a plane ticket back to Jakarta."
"After the match go to eat, but before the passport match it was collected because it was for tickets. So, I don't have a passport. After playing, I immediately eat, not us in a country, people don't bring passports."
"Indeed, at that time the tickets were to be taken care of, so the passports had to be collected," said Adam Alis again.
This incident tarnished the great action of Adam Alis who became the hero of Persib's victory over Selangor FC.
In that match, he scored two goals in a 3-2 win which made Persib firmly at the top of Group G of the Asian Champions League 2 standings.
