Over 50 luxury vehicles seized during JPJ operation
KUALA LUMPUR: A Rolls-Royce worth RM3mil was among 53 luxury vehicles seized during a three-day enforcement operation by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) around the Klang Valley. The crackdown, codenamed "Ops Luxury 2.0", was conducted by Kuala Lumpur JPJ based on intelligence gathering and public tip-offs. JPJ senior Enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said various offences were detected during the operation, including expired road tax, lack of valid insurance, expired or non-existent driving licences, and the display of unregistered number plates. "The operation was carried out under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and related regulations," he told reporters on Friday (Aug 1). Initial investigations revealed that three of the seized high-end vehicles were being driven by foreigners without valid road tax or insurance coverage. "These vehicles were rented, while some were owned by companies where the individuals were employed. "One of the foreign drivers was also found using a fake international driving permit, allegedly purchased in Dubai for RM5,000. "Among the other vehicles seized were a Lamborghini, a BMW i8, and an Aston Martin. Muhammad Kifli said some of these vehicles had reportedly not renewed their road tax since 2022. He said that there are currently more than 1,000 luxury vehicles nationwide flagged by JPJ for not having valid road tax or insurance. He stressed that JPJ would not practise selective enforcement and would continue taking firm action regardless of vehicle type or status. "We will not compromise with anyone who fails to comply with traffic regulations," he said.

Lawyers question probe into Zara's death, lack of post-mortem
Published on: Friday, August 01, 2025 Published on: Fri, Aug 01, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Noraidah Lamat, the mother of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir, has raised serious concerns over the investigation into Zara's death at her Papar school dormitory on July 17, highlighting the lack of a post-mortem and delays in police updates. 'Our client does not believe Zara took her own life. She believes there are criminal elements involved,' her counsel Hamid Ismail and Shahlan Jufri said in a statement. They revealed that Zara had confided in her mother about bullying by senior students, including one who allegedly said: "If I touch you, you'll bleed." The family claims to receive no updates from police between July 17 and 27. 'This silence worries our client. It gives the impression that the police did not investigate the death,' they added. Police only issued a short statement on July 28, and on July 31, it was disclosed that 60 individuals had been called in for questioning. On July 30, Noraidah filed a supplementary police report in Sipitang urging a thorough probe and revealed that school authorities had advised her not to lodge a report. The lawyers also questioned the claim that Zara fell from the third floor noting her face showed no injuries, bruises, or wounds typically associated with a fall from such height. Despite these circumstances, no post-mortem was conducted before Zara was buried. The lawyers have since written to the State Attorney General's Office, urging an inquest under Section 339(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code and requesting Zara's body be exhumed to determine the true cause of death. The firm also dismissed online allegations blaming the mother, calling them false and malicious. They urged the public not to spread defamatory claims and encouraged anyone with relevant information to come forward. * 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?
