The Perak Road Transport Department (JPJ) will be imposing a RM300 fine on bus drivers caught spitting while driving during their special Chinese New Year operations. JPJ director Mohammad Yusoff Abustan stated that such behaviour is not only disgusting but also a safety concern as it diverts drivers' attention from the road. The department will also deploy plainclothes officers as undercover passengers to monitor compliance with road rules. In a separate operation, 21 motorcycles were seized for various offences, including lack of road tax and insurance.
