KUALA LUMPUR: The actions of Road Transport Department (JPJ) vehicles escorting several timber laden lorries in Gua Musang, Kelantan, which were part of a video that went viral on Monday (Jan 3), were actually part of a special timber lorry operation implemented by the Kelantan JPJ.
The department said in a statement on Tuesday (Jan 4) night that the vehicles were escorting the lorries to ensure the drivers did not evade JPJ control and would proceed directly to the Mentara enforcement station in Gua Musang for their weigh-in, adding that it was a standard operating procedure to ensure the safety of other motorists and reduce the risk of accidents occurring.
