"I advise all road users, especially motorcyclists, to renew their road tax and insurance. If anything happens, it will cause hardship not only to them but to other road users," he added.

Aedy Fadly also said JPJ will confiscate any motorcycle without insurance or road tax, and with extreme modifications.

Earlier, he attended the closing ceremony of the Kuala Lumpur-level MyLesen 2024 programme at Setiawangsa Community Centre Hall here.

At the ceremony, a total of 1,824 people received B40 MyLesen benefits including class B2 driving licences, vocational public service vehicle (PSV) e-hailing licences and PSV bus licences. – Bernama
