PETALING JAYA: A total of 66 motorcycles were seized during the Ops Khas Motosikal carried out in conjunction with Ops Hari Raya Aidilfitri (HRA) 2026 by the Kuala Lumpur Road Transport Department (JPJ).
Kuala Lumpur JPJ director Hamidi Adam said the operation comprised four enforcement exercises conducted around the capital ahead of the festive season, focusing on compliance and safety, particularly among motorcyclists who are considered a high-risk group.
“We will not compromise on road safety. Enforcement will be intensified, especially during the festive season when traffic volume increases,” he said in a statement on Thursday (March 26).
He added that in the latest operation on Wednesday (March 25) at the Sentul Pasar toll plaza, a total of 3,120 vehicles were inspected.
Overall, 9,542 vehicles were inspected throughout the four operations, with various traffic offences recorded.
“Among the offences detected were riding without a valid driving licence (CDL), expired Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM), no insurance coverage, failure to use designated motorcycle lanes, non-compliant registration plates, illegal vehicle modifications including exhausts, as well as other technical offences that compromise safety,” he said.
He added that the operation also involved strategic collaboration with the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) and the National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) to ensure a more comprehensive and effective enforcement approach.
He also reminded vehicle owners whose motorcycles were seized to claim them within the stipulated period.
“Vehicles that are not claimed within three months from the date of seizure may be subjected to forfeiture in accordance with the law,” he said.
The public has been urged to ensure they possess valid driving licences, keep their road tax and insurance up to date, refrain from carrying out illegal vehicle modifications and comply with traffic rules at all times for the safety of all road users.
