JPJ to audit 500 bus and lorry operators from June 23 in special ops
JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, said the operation was ordered by Transport Minister Anthony Loke to investigate operators to ensure compliance with the audit process stipulated under the Land Public Transport Act.
He said the main focus of the operation is to assess the company's compliance level with safety aspects, vehicle maintenance, driver management and compliance records under the Road Transport Act 1987 and related regulations.
"It involves the implementation of safety inspection and audit reports that focus on compliance with the industrial code of practice regarding safety in the transportation industry.
"Additionally, there will be the review and resolution of outstanding issues for vehicle owners and drivers, as well as compliance with the vehicle technical plan," he said at a press conference after officiating the Penang-level MyLesen B2 Driving Licence Programme 2025 presentation ceremony here on Friday (June 20).
Aedy Fadly emphasised that the action was taken following the recent frequent accidents involving heavy vehicles, including the bus crash that claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students on June 9.
Commenting further, he said his team had also identified the list of involved companies obtained from Apad and JPJ list through a review of outstanding summonses.
"Based on statistics, the JPJ has identified a category of high-risk operators, which includes 300 lorries, 100 tour buses and 100 express buses," he said.
He added that strict action would be taken against any operator found to be violating regulations or neglecting safety aspects, including issuing notices of violation, suspension, or cancellation of vocational driving licenses or company operator licences. – Bernama
