Datuks, doctors among owners of 38 luxury cars seized for no road tax or insurance, says Penang JPJ
BUKIT MERTAJAM, Aug 21 — The Penang Road Transport Department (JPJ) has seized 38 luxury vehicles valued at more than RM10 million in 'Ops Luxury' for not having valid road tax (LKM) and vehicle insurance. Penang JPJ Director Zulkifli Ismail said that the operation, which has been carried out since June, focused on luxury vehicles used on the road without complying with the stipulated legal requirements. 'The seized luxury vehicles include Rolls Royce, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Ferrari, all of which had no LKM and insurance for between six months and more than two years but were still used on the road. 'Based on the inspection, it was found that the Rolls Royce, valued at more than RM3 million, had the highest road tax value at RM54,000 per year and had not been paid for a year. The total amount of unpaid road tax for all the seized vehicles is RM77,400,' he said during a press conference at the Penang JPJ office here today. He said the owners of the luxury cars were companies and individuals, including company owners, corporate members, businessmen with 'datuk' titles, and doctors and when flagged down, some of the vehicles were being driven by family members or company employees. Zulkifli said that these actions not only result in a loss of national revenue but also affect other road users in the event of an accident. He added that the most common reason given was forgetting to renew the road tax. He said all the luxury vehicles were being held at the state JPJ office until the owners paid the summonses and renewed their road tax and insurance, even if they had complete and valid ownership documents. 'They were seized and are being investigated under Sections 23 and 90 of the Road Transport Act 1987. The operation will be continued to ensure all vehicles comply with the regulations. 'We are not fighting against luxury vehicles, but this enforcement is important for the safety of road users because if an accident occurs involving a vehicle without insurance, it will cause problems for both the owner and the third party,' he said. — Bernama

No plans to host F1 races, Hannah says
The last race in Malaysia was in 2017, as Putrajaya decided not to renew its hosting rights due to a decline in returns. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia has no plans to host the Formula 1 (F1) Grand Prix, due to the costs involved in securing the rights to organise races and preparing facilities, the Dewan Rakyat was told today. Youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh said the F1 championships required the government to pay F1 owner Liberty Media Corp some RM300 million a year. 'The contract to organise the races lasts three to five years, which would see us committing RM1.5 billion for the period,' she said to Oscar Ling (PH-Sibu), who had asked if the country would host F1 races again. She added, however, that this did not mean Malaysia was closing the door on the matter. 'If the corporate sector is keen to bear the costs, interested parties can contact the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) to discuss the matter further,' she said. In April 2023, Yeoh said it would be 'quite impossible' for Malaysia to host F1 races because of the high costs this would incur. Malaysia first hosted the F1 Grand Prix in 1999. The last race in Malaysia was in 2017, as Putrajaya decided not to renew its hosting rights due to a decline in returns. On Sunday, SIC CEO Azhan Shafriman Hanif said it was a mistake for Malaysia to give up its F1 hosting rights. He said it would be a tall order now to host the F1 race in Sepang as there was a long waiting list for a place on the motorsport event's calendar.
