In Negeri Sembilan, the road transport department (JPJ) has found that many motorcyclists detained during an operation recently were found to be using licence plates not conforming to stipulated specifications.
The department noted that a majority of motorcyclists who were hauled up during Ops Lejang, which was conducted at the Senawang Toll Plaza entrance on Sunday, were found to be using ‘fancy’ number plates that were too small or had numbers or letters that were difficult to identify, Harian Metro reports.
“In this operation, we found various types of number plates that violated the rules. Some were shiny, some were only the size of two fingers, and there were even motorcycle owners who dared to ride bikes that did not display any registration numbers,” said JPJ Negeri Sembilan director Hanif Yusabra Yusuf.
He added that a total of 138 motorcycles were inspected and all the motorcyclists were hauled up for various offences, including exhaust modification and the use of fancy number plates. A total of five motorcycles were confiscated.
“If there is an accident, it will make it difficult for the authorities to investigate. Their actions also seem to be an attempt to hide their identity from authorities should they be found to have committed an offence such as running a red light or riding dangerously,” he said. The offence is punishable with a fine not exceeding RM2,000 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both, in accordance with Section 119(2) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Hanif Yusabra said that registered owners of these motorcycles will also be issued with a Vehicle Use Prohibition Notice (PG1). “They are given 10 days to attend an inspection at any nearby JPJ to ensure that the vehicle is corrected by changing the registration number plate to one that follows the specifications,” he said.

Hope to see you in KV soon, need the operation like this, not only motor bikes, also check those VIP Alphard or Supercars with motorbike size number plates… motorbike running on HID high beams some with flashing headlights some more.
Should confiscated and crushed all of those motorcycles
Motorbike kan biasa.. u go local parks can see groups lepak lepak there, go walk past see their number plate.. some tall and thin number plate that I can’t tell what’s the alphabet and number, some fat and short.. some gold colour lagi, macam royalty already they use the colour..
Please also check all those cars and vvip’s cars.
Enforcement not consistent, every day in day out, so many vehicles on the road using fancy number plate especially klang valley areas, i dont think the driver dare not scare to put on fancy fancy numbers becos they know enforcement only based on ad hoc basis……
Tapi bila nak buat standard plate? Kalau std huruf O & I pun boleh pakai. Selagi tak buat, isu ni takkan selesai. Jgn kata tak boleh.. indo, thai boleh buat
