KUCHING (July 21): A total of 11 motorcycles were seized and 65 summonses issued during the 'Ops Samseng Jalanan' integrated operation conducted last Saturday at Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakob, Jalan Astana, and Masja in Petra Jaya.
Kuching district police chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu said the operation aimed to crackdown on road bullies and ensure compliance with traffic laws and regulations.
'During the operation, 11 motorcycles were seized under Section 60 of the Road Transport Act 1987, as they were found to have been modified from their original structure and will undergo further inspection,' he said in a statement today.
He added that Department of Environment (DOE) enforcement officers also inspected motorcycles emitting noise levels exceeding the permitted threshold, resulting in six riders being fined by the department.
Alexson warned that such operations will continue, reminding road users to obey the law, refrain from engaging in street gangsterism, and refrain from illegally modifying their vehicles.
He emphasised that careless driving or riding can poses a danger to other road users and could endanger one's own life. Alexson Naga Jabu lead Ops Sameng Jalanan petra jaya

KUALA LUMPUR: Authorities have seized a total of 11,606.09 metric tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste), worth RM66.6 million, during the Department of Environment's (DOE) nationwide operations under Op Hazard 1.0 and 2.0. DOE's principal assistant director of the Hazardous Materials Division, Thahirah Kamarulzaman, said the seizures were the result of joint enforcement raids on 42 illegal e-waste premises, out of 122 inspected across the country. She said Op Hazard 1.0 was carried out from Feb 14 to 16, while Op Hazard 2.0 took place on June 16 and 17. "Relevant legislation regarding e-waste includes Section 18 and Section 34B of the Environmental Quality Act 1974, the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 1989, and the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 2005. "For import activities, it is governed by the Customs (Prohibition of Imports) Order 2023, and for export under the Customs (Prohibition of Exports) Order 2023," she explained during a presentation on e-waste issues on Thursday.
