In an effort to crack down on motorists running red lights, Malaysian police are conducting “Operation Red Light” from December 15 to December 30, nationwide. The operation is intended to penalise those running red lights, especially motorcyclists, including food and despatch riders, as well as other road users.
This was said by DCP Datuk Azisman Alias, director of the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) in a press release. The operation is also intended to raise awareness amongst road users traffic lights and signals must be obeyed.
Offenders will be summoned on the spot or have their vehicle details recorded for further action. Any individual found committing the offence of running a red light under Section 17 of the Traffic Rules and Regulations, 1959 can be subject to a fine not exceeding RM2,000 or six months jail.
In 2019, a total of 69,267 summons were issued for the offence of running a red light. Of this number, 32,657 were motorcycles, 29,873 motorcars, 2,808 lorries and 3,929 for other vehicles.
Meanwhile for the months of January to November 2020, 52,170 summons were issued for running red lights. This constituted of 26,764 motorcycles, 20,751 motorcars, 2,208 lorries and 2,447 other vehicles.

“Operation Red Light” from December 15 to December 30, nationwide.
Do this everyday 365 please
Make sure you dont close one eye to those motor riders with green, red, orange, blue or rainbow box behind. Those are the biggest culprits.
Haha good luck on catching those riders. They are rampant everywhere.
I really want to do good for the country and it pisses me off when seeing motorists violating traffic light. I mean, it has become an epidemic that abnormal behaviour and violation of rules are being taken lightly by them and by the authority. I am willing to load my dashcam videos for free. Let me have the online platform to upload – no Youtube as it for commercial – prepared by the government. Do SOMETHING about it before it is too late & abnormal action being accepted as norm.
Yup…I just bought a dash cam to capture all this rampant red light violater. Pls provide a place to upload it. BUT, how will they learn? Every year ada discount. Pdrm should be stricter, no more discount. If don’t pay by 30 days, gradually increase by rm100 per math. If don’t pay within a year, confiscate the vehicle.
Beating red light among bike riders are “normal” in Malaysia. Delivery boys doing it all the time, everywhere. Heck, even secondary school kids are influenced that beating red light is ok.
How to saman when offender riders complain no money becoz gaji ciput??
How to jail when offender riders explain anak-isteri cannot survive alone?
How to gantung license when offender riders are “tarak lience” in the 1st place?
Chicken-egg situation decades ago…….until now.
Problem unsolved, yet problem becoming more acute.
Thanks to cyclists police have finally open up their eyes on traffic light jumpers. Thank you again.
Just make this a permanent fine, no reason to allow running through red light. Those food riders really bad and out of control.
should remove the rm2k fine, just remain the jail time.
Just send the all the summon to those delivery company (grab panda lala or whatever..)fine the company let the company to control their riders so their riders will obey or their money deducted straight from company to pay off the summon…
really tangkap ke?
If the math works out, that’s 120,000 motorcyclists per day at RM 2,000 equals RM 7.2 billion in a month. Godspeed, pdrm.
Oh sorry forgot you’re busy catching negative Facebook comments. Priorities, boys, priorities.
catch those drivers who cut queue and using handphone while driving as well…pleaseee
If police and the road and transport departments what’s to see a real good results with Malaysian drivers, first stop this two weeks
Inspection and go every year and get all who break Malaysian laws. Then we may see a better result.
