The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has launched its fleet of new vehicles that is aimed at enhancing its services nationwide. The new assets, which are comprised of various types of vehicles were procured with a cost of RM22 million.
Among the new vehicles that are a part of the new vehicle fleet include 80 Honda CR-Vs, 71 Ford Rangers, 14 Ford Transits and for the first time ever, the JPJ will use high-powered motorcycles with 20 Kawasaki Versys 650s being deployed as well.
Present at the launch was Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, who highlighted the various applications of the vehicles. “In order to reach more areas, JPJ will use the robust Ford Ranger,” he told The New Straits Times
On the usage of the Kawasaki Versys 650s, Liow said, “the addition of the motorcycles will allow our JPJ officers to beat traffic congestion, allowing them to solve any issues on the road quickly.” Of the 20 units, half will be used by the Selangor JPJ, while the KL JPJ will receive deliveries of the remaining 10.
“We also plan to use more high-powered motorcycles in large cities such as Ipoh and Johor Bahru next year based on the needs and available funds,” he added. The new fleet of vehicles will expand the JPJ’s arsenal, which also include 14 mobile units that offer eight services including licence and road tax renewals, and the transfer of vehicle ownership.
Liow was also present to officiate the launch of the ‘Jom JPJ‘ programme at the Bentong Bus Terminal. The campaign is part of the Department’s initiative to provide its services to Malaysians who are living in rural areas during weekends. Recently, the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has begun using electric vehicles (Renault Twizy and “electric chariots”) for patrols.

I hope these cars/bikes number plate are in accordance to the the rules…
No point having new vehicles when your officers are still so corrupted and always asking for money. You can even have Lamborghinis to chase offenders also no point, because when your officer catches the offenders, he will definitely ask for money to make the saman disappear.
I advice the JPJ director general and Transport Minister, clean up the JPJ. Every fibre of it is so corrupted. Every single department is asking for money from people. Of course open counters to renew licence etc got no corruption but at the back office, everybody is taking money.
Go to JPJ PJ New town you can also see so many runner boys cum ulat hanging around promising to by pass the queue to get your lesen done in a minute. How can he do this? Simple. He and the counter guy has special understanding and they share profit.
And your boys on the roadss are the champions. Some earn over RM1000 per day clean profit. Tahan a few lorries and trucks, is a lucrative job.
Pleae lah JPJ, clean up your officers. They are so so so so dirty.
It is all about money, guys! No purchase no transaction how to convert public money to private account?
please upgrade your server as well sir..
New fleet only use import brand… Proton & Perodua mana?Local enforcement tak guna local products?
lol how typical of the government. Ask raykat to buy local products but government officials themselves buy foreign goods. hypocrite scumbags

Those display r 4 wayang only
Always good to keep up with the latest equipment. But high tech equipment alone will not bring any benefits if the mentality of the JPJ officer didn’t change. To be a developed nation or a high income nation, enforcement officer also needs to change their mentality when patrolling or giving security services to the people. They need to upgrade their knowledge. Learn what other developed nation does. Bring the good things back.
care to share your knowledge on what other developed nation did?
Hopefully with the new fleet they’ll be more motivated.
“Jom JPJ”? more like “Jom Songlap”.
i bet those companies tender to supply these vehicles will have to pay undertable money.
jpj – nowadayas alot of fatal accident cause by errant lorry driver – you buat apa???
commercial vehicle such as lorry and van should have their own plate number – easier for the authority to monitor them for crime prevention..
come on la.. you have to think 5 years ahead… not just waiting for a whistleblower..
What the hack? Just enjoy public money. Rakyat rata rata ikat perut.
My personal opinion will be a waste of country’s money. As this is non profit organisation, they should not deserve the best equipment, like 2.4cc CRV. Why can’t just use 2.0cc instead of 2.4cc? I think this is not the direction to be a developed nation as they are so much other necessity thing for our government to spend on, but they chosen to spend this way to spend the RM22.0 Million. Seriously not wise enough. No offense..
Proud of number plate “JPJ” as a Johorean. But 22 Million shld be able to transform GTR35 into JPJ car oled. why i can only see CHV and few katak Ninja 250???
perfect time to get a new fleet in this wonderful economic boom we are experiencing and our surplus is sky high….
infact , im surprised they havent buy private jets yet…
Buying equipment first class,
talking first class,
selling plate numbers very fast,
metro buses emitting thick smoke dia buat tidak apa.
malaysian ppl pls do not worry. these fleet of vehicles were bought without duty excise and GST.
meaning – the CRV at 150k without all those maybe is about 80K only. and Honda Malaysia is more than willing to reduce its profit margin further by 10-15k to make the deal a success.
congratulations to Sime Darby group, DRB and Honda Malaysia as well as Kawasaki Motors Malaysia (whose AP depended on the late Tan Sri Yahaya’s son Ahmad Faiz and an Umno branch head as executive directors)
I just want to ask one question to our honoured Datuk Liow:
If it is using your own money, would you still buy them?
wah 2015 Versys 650.
Which comes a question, why the hell they need bikes for? is not that they could not chase the lorries using the Rangers or CR-V`s. Are they going to do do the same as Police patrolling in which they are targeting vehicles only? It is quite a waste for them to use bikes IMHO
I’d rather that money went to upgrade PDRM’s overall capabilities instead of JPJ fully. Why does JPJ get priority in purchasing more robust and powerful vehicles when the cops are the ones who need them more? Isn’t the current fleet of Toyota Fortuner’s sufficient?
Harap abang2 JPJ boleh bawak SUV dan Trak baru
anda dtg tolong kat Pantai Timur musim tengkujuh nie..itu je
New vehicle fleet?? Hey, tontos said, they are not afraid. Dark windscreeners just sneer. Evo & rempits say, you catch my smoke. So, all syiok wasting taxpayers money.
i sincerely hope that these fancy fleet are not used for pegi minum kopi & breakfast, catching number plate & tinting offenders only yaa….. do some real enforcements!! Those dangerous overloading lorries, haphazard old lorries etc get them off the road too…
Why do they need Rangers with the 3.2?? And the top spec CR-V with the 2.4?? Really? What a waste of taxpayer money!
Paling kerap gua jumpa JPJ masa lepak petang kat gerai rojak cendol laa.
Baru habihh operasi donation kot..hehe
Why 80 CRVs and not Exoras instead? that would have saved at least RM4 mill minimum if they are all bought tax free.
don’t talk about new high powered fleet if officer who drive/ride the machine have no integrity..
JPJ – Jabatan Paling Jahat
cronies ah mok wins it all!
Why d hell u need high powered motorcycles? Can they go faster in the jams?
Yeah those 2015 versys 650 are easily rm30-40k each whereas they could have got themselves cheaper yamaha FZ150i with top box and side panniers for not more than rm10k each which can also go quicker in traffic jam since they’re much narrower than the versys. Duke and LDP highway patrols use them daily just fine. The versys is clearly the same case as the other top-specced vehicles they chose, which are an unnecessary excessive spending of rakyat’s money.
Jams. Masuk LONgkang besar even better. These UK police force wannabes have fantasized about looking like mat saleh british. Ada gaya saja but in reality, our hard earned money burned to shit.
JPJ is the dirtiest gang in the govt dept. The top position till the bottom really good at songlap money….record holder for many many years…
govt dont even support national car now???!!!
and went ahead buying Honda CRV for their fleet?? Tak mau guna proton ka?
Proton no class izit??
Or proton is so bad even govt ppl shy away from it??
So, Tun Mahathir……what is your comment??
Waste of money as usual after all these years…..
Honda CR-V 2.4 models? Our JPJ Malaysian Organization are trying very hard to imitate the UK Police Force.
Seriously what in the blue hell guys? Check the link, cheers

JPJ bekerjasama dgn DRB-Hicom ke? Diorang ingat kitorang rakyat bodoh sampai gila ke? Honda CRV 2.4 pun sapu sampai banyak unit.
Ramai lagi orang tak mampu milik untuk beli sebuah kereta di malaysia. Kita punya duit yang sangat susah utk dapat kena buang macam ni. Bodoh, celaka punya JPJ.
Duit 22 juta lebih baik digunakan untuk membina hospital atau ‘soup kitchen’ kepada rakyat miskin. Lepas celaka punya GST, isu ini lagi. Rakyat kita bukan bodoh.
JPJ help to clear old ranger stock too!
Sime Darby, Hicom, Good job!
Xlayak langsung jpj guna honda crv….pastu bawak laju2….mampus mnyusahkn orang lain…
What a waste of public money. Use big bikes for what? Just to chase the low income riders on their kapcais asking them to pay license and roadtax? Why dont they chase the errant drivers in big cars and deep pocket? Or the big powerful and fast lorries? If JPJ ended just make put cones and make roadblocks to check roadtax and license..and dont forget the expensive insurance, for what they want to ride big bikes and fast cars? Better buy more nissan vannetts and cones. And some laptops to write the tickets.
