Datuks, doctors among owners of RM10mil luxury cars seized over unpaid road tax
SEBERANG JAYA: The Penang Road Transport Department (RTD) has seized 38 luxury vehicles worth more than RM10 million in "Op Luxury" for offences involving expired road tax and insurance. State RTD director Zulkifli Ismail said the operation, conducted from June until yesterday, targeted luxury cars being driven without valid documentation. "The seized vehicles included Rolls Royce, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Ferrari models, all without valid road tax or insurance ranging from six months to more than two years. "Yet, they were still being used on the road. "This is not only a loss to government revenue but also endangers other road users if an accident occurs. "For example, the Rolls Royce, valued at over RM3 million, carried a road tax of RM54,000 per year, which had not been paid for the past year. "In total, the seized cars owed RM77,400 in unpaid road tax," he told reporters today. Zulkifli said the owners included companies and individuals such as businessmen with the title 'Datuk' and doctors. At the time of the seizures, some vehicles were driven by family members or company employees. "The most common excuse given was forgetting to renew the road tax, but there were also cases where owners deliberately avoided payment despite being able to afford it. "All the seized cars will remain at the state RTD office until the owners settle their summonses and renew both road tax and insurance," he said. He said while ownership documents for the vehicles were complete and valid, the lack of road tax and insurance required them to be seized and investigated under Sections 23 and 90 of the Road Transport Act 1987. "This operation will continue to ensure all vehicles comply with the regulations. "We are not against luxury vehicles, but enforcement is crucial for road safety. "If an accident involves an uninsured vehicle, it creates problems not only for the owner but also for third parties," he said. Recently, it was reported that RTD had seized 270 luxury vehicles nationwide for the same offences under Op Luxury, which has been ongoing since July 1. RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the operation was being carried out continuously across all states to take firm action against luxury vehicles being driven without valid licences or insurance.

JPJ seizes 38 luxury cars during crackdown on expired road tax and insurance in Butterworth
BUTTERWORTH: A total of 38 luxury cars have been seized by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) in a crackdown on owners driving without valid road tax and insurance. JPJ director Zulkifly Ismail said those caught include businesspeople and VIPs with Datuk titles. "This operation has been carried out across the state of Penang since June (until Thursday, Aug 21). "The main objective is to curb the use of luxury vehicles without valid road tax and insurance," he said during a press conference at JPJ Seberang Jaya here on Thursday (Aug 21). He said action was taken under Section 23 of the Road Transport Act 1986 for road tax offences and under Section 90 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for insurance-related offences. He said in several cases, inspections also revealed that some of the drivers did not possess a valid driving licence. Zulkifly said the operation aims to prevent national revenue losses, as many luxury car owners attempt to evade paying road tax and insurance. He said most importantly, the operation seeks to ensure road safety. He said vehicles operating without valid road tax and insurance not only deprive the government of revenue but also pose serious risks to other road users, as any accident involving such vehicles could result in significant financial and safety repercussions. Among the luxury vehicles that were seized are Rolls Royce, BMW, Porsche and others. "Based on our records, the Rolls Royce stands out with the highest road tax rate which is RM54,000 a year," he said. He said this particular vehicle was taken action against for two offences, driving with an expired road tax and without valid insurance. Commenting further, Zulkifly said one of the most common excuses given by vehicle owners during inspections is that they "forgot" to renew their road tax. "If we look at the cases here, some vehicles have expired for six months, some for a year, and the longest one even dates back to 2023, that is two years overdue. "So the excuse of 'forgetting' can no longer be accepted. It's a stale excuse, outdated and simply not valid. To me, claiming you 'forgot' is nothing more than a flimsy justification," he said. He added that JPJ Penang will continue to carry out Ops Luxury from time to time, and stern action will be taken against any party that defies road transport laws and regulations.
