Three-day JPJ blitz nets 53 luxury cars
Opulent rides: Muhammad Kifli (right) showing some of the seized luxury vehicles. KUALA LUMPUR: A Rolls-Royce worth RM3mil is among the 53 posh vehicles seized during a three-day blitz on owners who failed to abide by road transport regulations. 'Other cars seized included a Lamborghini, a BMW i8 and an Aston Martin,' said Road Transport Department (JPJ) senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan. This came after a crackdown, codenamed 'Ops Luxury 2.0', was held around the Klang Valley to detect owners of luxury cars with offences such as expired road tax, no valid insurance, expired or non-existent driving licences and the display of unregistered number plates. 'Some of these vehicles were without road tax since 2022,' said Muhammad Kifli. He said that initial investigations revealed that three of the seized high-end vehicles were being driven by foreigners without valid road tax or insurance coverage, Muhammad Kifli said. 'One of the foreign drivers was also found to be using a fake international driving permit, allegedly purchased in Dubai for RM5,000.' He said that these cars were rented, while some were owned by companies where the individuals were employed. The Rolls-Royce is believed to be owned by a businessman. Speaking to reporters yesterday, Muhammad Kifli said 'Ops Luxury 2.0' was conducted by Kuala Lumpur JPJ based on intelligence gathering and public tip-offs. 'The operation was carried out under the Road Transport Act and related regulations,' he said. Muhammad Kifli said that JPJ did not practise selective enforcement and would continue taking firm action regardless of vehicle type or the status of their owners. 'Our enforcement doesn't focus solely on motorcycles. Luxury vehicles are not exempted. 'We are carrying out this operation nationwide,' he said. Muhammad Kifli added that there are currently more than 1,000 luxury vehicles nationwide flagged by JPJ for not having valid road tax or insurance. 'Vehicle owners are urged to renew their road tax immediately. 'We will not compromise with anyone who fails to comply with traffic regulations,' he said.
