PLUS hands over 10 units of Honda CR-V 2.0L to JPJ

PLUS Malaysia has contributed 10 units of the Honda CR-V 2.0L to the Road Transport Department (JPJ). According to PLUS MD Datuk Azman Ismail, the presentation of the vehicles – worth RM1.3 million – will enable PLUS to improve safety on its highways through regular enforcement by JPJ.

“The handing over of the vehicles to the department is an initiative to assist the authority in carrying out its monitoring and enforcement duties on the highways,” he said.

According to the highway concessionaire, the collaboration between PLUS and JPJ (and other enforcement agencies) as well as road safety initiatives put in place by PLUS has seen a significant reduction in the number of accidents on the North-South Expressway.

A total of 14,532 accident cases were reported in 2016, but this dropped to 13,269 last year, and there has been a seven percent reduction in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year.

Two JPJ enforcement stations have been set up at PLUS’ Dengkil and Gunung Semanggol rest and service areas (RSAs) to assist the department in conducting regular advocacy and road safety programmes along the highway, PLUS said. “A third JPJ enforcement station will be open soon. in Pagoh RSA,” Azman said.

    • Someone probably got a fat cheque for being the broker of this deal.

        The person who approved the deal very likely got something too.

    • Indeed. These CRVs might as well give to Yapeim to ferry poor anak yatim students to school.

  • Lol.. JPJ have 2.4 on previous CRV. So why Honda give 2.0 instead of 1.5 Turbo??

      No enforcement needed now that more and more offenses are made legal just by paying money. See non-transparent tints.

    When was the last time you bunch of so called MoT enforcement personnels drove on the NKVE? Cant you see that even the fast lane is now being taken over by these vans-lorries-buses-containers-trailers? They are way above their speed limit, honked & flashed at you. Accidents are happening more frequently ever since the fourth lane was available. Opening NKVE to motorcycles made it worse, now even brazenly racing with one another on the overtaking lane. You guys better figure out how to put all these to a stop as there’ll be more deaths and accidents on the NKVE. Let’s hope you don’t wait till your loves one got killed unnecessary then only start taking action.

      Actually, this is good becuase JPJ won’t have to spend more of taxpayers’ money via operation expenditure to buy assets like enforcement cars etc (those are not for personal use maaaa). We are already paying tolls. So, fair enough.

      Now, lets see how PDRM’s Mitsubishi Outlander vs JPJ’s Honda CR-V fleets, both given by PLUS doing enforcement.

    1. Steering rack issue.
    2. Gear knob detach issue.
    3. Water leaking into cabin issue.
    Who is going to pay for the issues? PLUS or JPJ? Wasting raykat money…
