A total of 1,535 cloned cars brought into Malaysia from Singapore have been seized by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to date. According to the New Straits Times, JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said that the seized vehicles were unregistered and often had fake road tax stickers, leaving buyers unable to renew their road taxes once they had expired.
“Syndicate members have been detained with the help of our elite squad and they are under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission,” Ismail said. He added that, largely, Malaysians living in Johor had fallen victim to these syndicates.
Speaking to reporters at the JPJ’s 70th anniversary celebrations in Seberang Jaya, the director-general also said that Phase Three of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) will be introduced in due time. The system will be enforced to monitor vehicles entering Sabah and Sarawak from Indonesia. Eventually, the JPJ chief said that the authorities will also adopt the system at the Malaysia-Brunei border.
Ismail reiterated that Phase One of the VEP system will begin in Johor, and that Phase Two will be at the Thailand-Malaysia crossing. Phase Three in Sabah and Sarawak will only commence once Phase Two is successfully implemented.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
used car dealers all salivating at prospect of next ‘auction’ to make these cars into huge profitable gain
Instead of demolishing clone cars, JPJ could instead give them to taxi drivers. Scrap the 20 year old Wira and Iswara taxis. Taxi drivers then join Uber. Everybody is happy. Except taxi permit cronies.
What to do, they don’t clever enough to build cars so they make cloned ones!
Cukur bolehland people are more intelligent
Lolololololololololol
SS427 sila jawap!
Do like what they did with ivory & drugs: burn them with faiya!
This is all drama by JPJ. They sacrifice 1500 cars to show they are doing the job. In actual fact JPJ staff themselves are the kingpins of this syndicate and it has been going on for 20 years. The big boss JPJ also knows about this but he pretend to be catching these bad guys. This 1500 cars is just a small sacrifice for the JPJ crooks cause every year, they earn billions of dollars doing this and it has been going on for 20 years.
One big question is this, why don’t we just abolish the AP cronies and buy up these good cars from Singapore? 10 year old Mercedes is as good as new or 10 year old Audis, BMWs, Accords etc
The Government should do this. Sell cheap cars to the rakyat so that we don’t have to suffer paying high prices to the AP thieves. A good E250 Mercedes can be bought for hardly SG$10k also. Even you tax the car also, it will still be lesser burden to us Malaysians. Government prefer to screw the rakyat with high car prices from AP Cronies.
Gov shud ban all moving coffins inc ur god kompeni toyota. Burn it with faiya!
AP king need rakyat spoon-feed him. Who care about you life.
‘… had fallen victim to these syndicates’
What? Victims? Come on. they were not victims. they were either dumb, stupid, ignorant, gullible, or plain guilty.
How lah can a car be sold sooooo cheap (rm10k for instance) and then pass it off as a ‘legit’ deal.
And then when we tahan that clone car, (sometimes with the original car) the ‘victim’ will make up funky stories saying that his husband bought the car lah, sepupu punya kereta lah, nenek punya suami punya kereta lah..
And the best part, after a while, the exact same car that was impounded is seen roaming the roads, with the same cloned plate.
What?
sti!!!!!
The web of cloned car operations span all the way from legal to illegal institutions and they work hand in hand.
Can you please name the boss of the syndicate
you arrested.?
Only say crippled but until today no one is charged in court.
As usual NFA .. case closed.
Terima kasih jpj….cpat kan urusan lelongan kenderaan…..kawan2 sy mau beli….huhu
JPJ cannot lelong… cause they dont have power to do that except given by royal malaysian customs…
Hanya kastam sahaja yang boleh buat tender/lelongan kenderaan dan juga polis…
Obviously you have not been to JPJ vehicle auction before mate. FYI, most of the “good” cars will be snagged before the auction starts. Leaving only the scrap quality cars on auction, which is usually sapu-ed by halfcut peeps.
