SEREMBAN: The Negeri Sembilan Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department has issued 682 summonses for various offences through “Ops Lampu Isyarat” implemented in all districts in the state as of Tuesday (March 18).
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said 486 summonses were issued for violating red lights, while 196 summonses were issued for various offences, including no driving licence and no registration number.
"We also arrested a 29-year-old man under Section 30 (3) of the Poisons Act 1952 following the discovery of three plastic bottles of ketum water under the seat of the motorcycle he was riding," he said at a press conference at the Negeri Sembilan Police Contingent Headquarters here on Tuesday.
He said the operation, which would last for 11 days until 22 March, aimed to identify road users who failed to comply with traffic regulations, particularly those who did not stop at traffic lights, as this behaviour can pose a danger to other road users.
Ahmad Dzaffir said the operation was also aimed at creating awareness by taking legal action against road users, especially motorcyclists, including food or goods delivery workers who commit the offence of violating red traffic lights. – Bernama
