JPJ seals 270 luxury vehicles without road tax, insurance coverage through Ops Luxury
The operation is being carried out continuously across all states to take firm action against luxury vehicles being driven without a valid motor vehicle licence (LKM) or insurance. – Bernama photo JOHOR BAHRU (Aug 16): The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has seized 270 luxury vehicles nationwide for not having valid road tax and insurance under Ops Luxury, carried out since July 1. Its director-general, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, said the operation is being carried out continuously across all states to take firm action against luxury vehicles being driven without a valid motor vehicle licence (LKM) or insurance. 'This operation is a stern measure against luxury vehicles that are being driven without paying road tax, with some also without insurance coverage. The vehicles will be detained and seized until the owners settle all outstanding road tax, insurance, and summonses before they are released,' he told a press conference at JPJ Taman Daya recently. Also present were JPJ senior director (Enforcement) Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan and Johor JPJ director Azmil Zainal Adnan. Aedy said the seized vehicles included a Ferrari in Johor Bahru, which was without road tax and insurance, a Lamborghini Huracán with an annual road tax of RM12,000, and a Rolls-Royce in Kuala Lumpur with unpaid road tax of RM29,000 per year. He revealed that some of the vehicles had not had their road tax renewed for more than a year, with one case in Kuala Lumpur involving a lapse of up to three years, where the owner claimed to have 'forgotten' to renew it. 'Ops Luxury will be expanded nationwide, including to Perlis, Sabah, and Sarawak. This is not a one-off action, but a continuous effort. 'We do not want luxury vehicles on the road without valid road tax and insurance, as the risks to public safety in the event of an accident are extremely high,' he said. Aedy added that legal action has been taken against several vehicle owners in court, while those who have settled their road tax and insurance arrears have been allowed to reclaim their vehicles. – Bernama Aedy Fadly Ramli lead luxury vehicles road tax Road Transport Department

JPJ seizes 270 luxury vehicles in nationwide Ops Luxury crackdown
JOHOR BAHRU: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has confiscated 270 luxury vehicles across Malaysia for operating without valid road tax and insurance under Ops Luxury. The operation, active since July 1, targets luxury cars driven without proper documentation nationwide. JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli stated that the crackdown ensures strict action against non-compliant vehicle owners. 'This operation is a stern measure against luxury vehicles that are being driven without paying road tax, with some also without insurance coverage,' he said. Seized vehicles will remain impounded until owners settle outstanding road tax, insurance, and summonses. Among the detained cars were a Ferrari in Johor Bahru and a Rolls-Royce in Kuala Lumpur with unpaid road tax of RM29,000 annually. A Lamborghini Huracán with RM12,000 annual road tax was also seized during the operation. Aedy revealed some vehicles had lapsed road tax for over a year, with one case in Kuala Lumpur reaching three years. The owner of the three-year-lapsed vehicle claimed to have 'forgotten' to renew the road tax. Ops Luxury will expand to Perlis, Sabah, and Sarawak as part of continuous enforcement efforts. 'We do not want luxury vehicles on the road without valid road tax and insurance,' Aedy emphasised. He highlighted the high public safety risks if uninsured luxury vehicles are involved in accidents. Legal action has been initiated against several owners in court for non-compliance. Owners who settle their arrears can reclaim their vehicles after fulfilling all requirements. The press conference was attended by JPJ senior director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan and Johor JPJ director Azmil Zainal Adnan. - Bernama
