The Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued 5,306 offence notices after inspecting 17,729 commercial and public service vehicles during a five-day Special Technical Raid Operation. The notices involved vehicle detentions, inspection orders and for questioning. JPJ emphasized that the notices are not issued arbitrarily, but to ensure road safety and optimal road conditions. A recurring issue observed was the use of unsuitable or retreaded tyres on commercial vehicles. JPJ has deployed over 1,500 personnel nationwide to strengthen enforcement of trade-related offences, including overloading, technical issues, documentation and traffic violations, particularly during festive seasons.
The Road Transport Department issued 5,306 offence notices after inspecting 17,729 commercial and public service vehicles during a five-day Special Technical Raid Operation that concluded today.
“JPJ is not out to find faults by issuing notices; we only aim to ensure road safety and optimal road conditions. Notices are not issued arbitrarily,“ he told reporters during the Special Technical Raid Operation at the Seremban Southbound Rest and Service Area today. “During checks earlier, we observed several vehicles using retreaded tyres with the outer layer nearly peeling off. Suppose these come off while on the road, it could pose significant danger to road users. This is precisely the situation we aim to prevent,“ he said.
