PUTRAJAYA: In its toughest enforcement operation against overloaded lorries yet, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) is set to begin a nationwide crackdown on Tuesday (Oct 13) – with its officers armed in anticipation of any intimidation by hired thugs.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the special operation, which runs until Dec 31, will see an "all-out war" declared on overloaded heavy vehicles in five zones: the north, south, east and west of the peninsula, and the Bornean states.
