"A van was travelling in the opposite direction from the traffic flow on PIE endangering multiple vehicles and causing me to perform an emergency slowdown and changing of lane to avoid him," the Stomper said.

Another video showing the van going against traffic was posted on ROADS.sg's Facebook page with a caption indicating that it happened before the BKE exit.
