  That's like saying they allow a man/woman to be both a woman and a man at the same time.
  
  Japan uses right-hand, right?

  maybe they filmed all the driving scenes in hk/taiwan, since it would be a big big hassle to move the car.

  In Japan, traffic officially drives on the left side, which dictates right-hand drive vehicles. However, some Japanese buy left-hand drive vehicles, mainly from Europe and the U.S. (sometimes, they will buy British cars, which are right-hand drive, through the U.S., which is left-hand drive). Japan legally allows such cars on their roads, and they are usually regarded as exotic or as status symbols. They will still have to drive on the left, though.

  About some while ago, an SBST bus with passengers, driven by a China guy got lost too. I think it was 33. They wrote into the Straits Times to complain. Probably the SBST website has a record of it.
  
  EDIT: Just looked at SBST website and don't seem to find it. Maybe it happened last year or SBST didn't put it up. The reply from SBST was something like the driver had only been with them for 2 months and eventually got fired.

  I think some SAF vehicles have the words "Right hand drive" in Taiwanese characters, IIRC.

  And you must be an expat, and it requires a special license too, if I'm not wrong.
