PUTRAJAYA, June 25 (Bernama) -- In an unprecedented move, the Transport Ministry today revealed a list of 28 commercial vehicle operators with a high number of outstanding traffic summonses, warning them to settle their dues promptly.
Minister Anthony Loke said the offenders comprised 11 goods vehicle operators and 17 express bus companies.
He named the top offenders as KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd, which has 22,017 summonses, Mainiza Mantap Sdn Bhd (5,108 summonses), Advancecon Mantap Sdn Bhd (3,620), Cepat Ekspres Sdn Bhd (540) and New Hoover Ekpress & Travels Sdn Bhd (512).
He said all companies involved have been given 14 days from today to settle their outstanding summonses at any state or branch Road Transport Department (JPJ) office.
'Failure to do so will result in stricter enforcement actions, including immediate blacklisting of the vehicles.
'No discounts will be given — payment must be made according to the existing rates,' he said at a press conference here.
Loke said the summonses involved offences under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333), the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987 (Act 334) and the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (Act 715).
He said the five main offences were speeding, driving without a licence, technical violations, overloading, and driving without a motor vehicle licence (LKM) or insurance.
When asked about the rationale behind the disclosure and firm action, Loke said it serves as a warning to all companies to prioritise vehicle safety and hire trained and responsible drivers.

UIS Empowers Students For Digital Era, Aims To Become Malaysia's First Wakaf University
KAJANG, June 25 (Bernama) -- Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS) continues to drive digital transformation and Islamic values-based education through various digitalisation initiatives, in line with the current job market requirements. Its vice-chancellor Datuk Prof Dr Mohd Farid Ravi Abdullah said among the key efforts were the implementation of online digital learning, micro-credential programmes, and the upgrading of technology-based teaching and learning systems. 'Recently, we upgraded 11 laboratories with the latest computers and software, including building a dedicated studio and recording room for communication and media students to gain hands-on training akin to real-world industry experience,' he said in a press conference here today. Mohd Farid said the university's approach, which integrates modern knowledge such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity with Islamic values, was aimed at producing well-rounded graduates capable of imparting knowledge, engaging in dakwah (Islamic propagation), and contributing meaningfully to society. UIS currently offers over 79 academic programmes from foundation to doctorate levels across six main faculties, including the Faculty of Islamic Civilisation Studies, the Faculty of Economics, Accounting and Management, and the Faculty of Creative Multimedia and Computing. According to Mohd Farid, UIS, formerly known as Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (KUIS), would officially be proclaimed a university by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, on July 19. Established in 1995, KUIS was upgraded to a full-fledged university in October 2022. Tengku Permaisuri Selangor, Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, will be proclaimed as the Chancellor of the university, which is wholly owned by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS). 'His Royal Highness' consent is a great honour and elevates the image of UIS as one of the top choices for Selangor's youth to further their studies,' Mohd Farid said.

Kota MADANI development in Precinct 19 can overcome shortage of govt quarters
PUTRAJAYA: Calls to increase the number of government quarters in Putrajaya over the past 25 years are set to be finally answered through the development of Kota MADANI in Precinct 19 here, said Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) president Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud. Speaking to Bernama and RTM here today, he said government quarters are still in high demand, particularly from support groups who have been renting houses quite far from their workplaces. 'Under the original master plan in 1998, we did plan for these residences. Based on the demand for quarters that we have received so far, we now have 17,000 applicants from various categories. 'As far as I can recall, requests to build more quarters have been made since 2000. Finally, this year, we can implement the development of these quarters,' he said. Spanning 41.28 hectares, Kota MADANI is set to feature 10,000 high-density vertical residential units capable of accommodating over 3,000 residents. Its design will integrate artificial intelligence technology, efficient digital infrastructure and a green mobility system. Commenting on the assumptions of certain parties that the project used public funds, Fadlun stressed that the project is being developed through a public-private collaboration by Putrajaya Holdings using the Build-Lease-Maintain-Transfer (BLMT) concept. '... and this can reduce the actual costs because the government does not come out with any funding, and it is all borne by the developers. The only thing is that the repayment period will be determined by the Public Private Partnership Unit (UKAS),' he said. The development of Kota MADANI in Precinct 19 will be implemented in stages, with the first phase set to commence in the third quarter of this year, and the development is estimated to cost RM4 billion. The development of Kota MADANI is a long-term strategic investment to shape Putrajaya's future as a model city that upholds MADANI values and aligns with the vision of Bandar CHASE - a clean, healthy, advanced, safe and eco-friendly city.
