SEREMBAN: A total of 106 luxury vehicles worth around RM21mil were seized in Ops Luxury across the state this year, says the Negri Sembilan Road Transport Department (JPJ).
State JPJ director Hanif Yusabra Yusuf said the seizures were due to owners’ failure to comply with the Road Transport Act 1987, including expired licences, no valid insurance and invalid driving licences.
He said the seized luxury cars included the Mercedes A, C, E and S-Class, Porsche Macan, Cayenne, Panamera, Taycan and 718 Cayman, BMW 3, 5, 7 and X5, Audi A and Q-Series, and Toyota Alphard and Vellfire.
“The enforcement action involved vehicle owners aged 35 to 55, including a businessman with the title of Datuk.
“This luxury vehicle seizure is among the largest by Negri JPJ, compared with 20 vehicles last year, marking an 80% increase,” he told a press conference yesterday, Bernama reported.
Hanif Yusabra also said that 318 compound notices were issued, including for possessing expired road tax or no road tax, vehicle licensing breaches and other violations under the Road Transport Act 1987.
He said the operation is part of a nationwide crackdown and that the operation will continue to target illegally owned or unregistered luxury vehicles and road tax evasion.
Hanif Yusabra also urged the public to report traffic violations via the MyJPJ app (e-Aduan) or send an email to aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my.
