"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.

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