A syndicate selling “protection stickers” targeting operators of heavy vehicles has been found, and this syndicate seeks operators who are looking to evade fines and inspections of their vehicles at roadblocks, according toThese stickers are purchased by some lorry drivers at prices from RM1,000 per vehicle, and the stickers are attached to vehicles in order to signal corrupt enforcement officers of the vehicles’ “protection” status.
“These stickers often feature designs like an eagle symbol with specific codes. When syndicate members or enforcement officers spot the sticker, they recognise that the lorry has ‘paid’ and allow it to pass without inspection. The primary users of these stickers are trailers and tipper lorries,” the source said.
Citing an example, if a driver usually operates in Klang but enters Petaling Jaya, the lorry driver might still be stopped for being ‘out of zone’ despite having a sticker, because the sticker they purchased is only recognised for a given area. “In such situations, the operator must negotiate separately with the Petaling Jaya syndicate to obtain similar privileges for that area,” the source said.
