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.
