RTD seizes 270 luxury cars in nationwide crackdown
Published on: Saturday, August 16, 2025 Published on: Sat, Aug 16, 2025 By: Malay Mail Text Size: Some of the seized cars. - Bernama KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department's (RTD) 'Ops Luxury 3.0' has hit the streets hard, seizing 270 high-end rides nationwide over the past two weeks. According to The Star, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls-Royces were among the flashy machines caught being driven without valid road tax or insurance. JPJ director-general, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, said the sweep snared celebrities, influencers and entrepreneurs, with some owing up to RM29,000 in back taxes. 'The seized cars include Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce, with some of them still driven without road tax for about three years. 'In Johor alone, we detained 11 vehicles, including a car with an annual road tax of RM12,000. 'In Kuala Lumpur, the highest road tax arrears recorded was RM29,000,' he reportedly said at a press conference yesterday, as cited by The Star. Owners can only reclaim their luxury rides once all outstanding road tax, insurance, and summonses are cleared. 'Driving without a valid road tax and insurance puts not only other road users at risk, but also the driver themselves in the event of accidents,' Aedy Fadly warned. He added that the crackdown will soon expand to Sabah and Sarawak, promising more high-octane surprises in the months ahead. - Malay Mail * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Pesta Labuk Beluran 2025 celebrates culture, unity and economic renewal
Hajiji performs a gimmick launch of the 2025 Labuk Festival in Beluran on Saturday. BELURAN (Aug 16): The inaugural Pesta Labuk Beluran 2025 was officially launched on Saturday, marking a significant milestone in promoting cultural heritage, fostering community spirit and driving economic growth in rural Sabah. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor, who officiated the celebration at the FAMA Tamu, said the event served as a platform to honour local traditions while empowering communities. 'This festival not only showcases the cultural richness of our people but also nurtures a spirit of unity. The collective effort demonstrated here today must be emulated to preserve our heritage for generations to come,' he said. Hajiji affirmed the state government's commitment to embracing cultural diversity, which he described as Sabah's strength. In conjunction with the festival, Hajiji also launched the Sabah Cockle Industry and Resource Development Project at the Muara Jetty in Beluran. The project follows a successful pilot in Tuaran and aims to position Beluran as a model for sustainable aquaculture in the region. Spanning 1,300 hectares, the initiative will involve 650 household heads in systematic blood cockle cultivation. It is projected to produce 3,240 metric tonnes annually, with an estimated market value of RM34.4 million and potential returns up to seven times the investment. 'This is a community-driven initiative that not only generates income and jobs but also preserves our marine ecosystem,' he said, acknowledging support from SEDIA, the Department of Fisheries Malaysia and the Sabah Fisheries Department. During the event, Hajiji handed over 180 Native Title (NT) land grants to villagers from Kolapis, Pulau Klagan and Sapi, covering 297.83 hectares. 'This reflects the government's commitment to ensuring rural communities enjoy secure land ownership and long-term well-being,' he added. He proposed that Pesta Labuk be included in the state's tourism calendar to attract more visitors and create economic spillover for the local population. 'The uniqueness of Labuk's cultural elements such as the Titik Tungkil traditional music, Magalai Labuk dance and Sabung Labuk traditional attire are treasures we must continue to preserve and promote,' he said. In response to local requests, the Chief Minister approved the construction of a tourism jetty and road connecting Kampung Air Beluran, while directing Yayasan Sabah to review longstanding village land claims involving foundation-owned land.
