PDRM’s traffic investigation and enforcement department (JSPT) says that it is constantly monitoring private vehicles with strobe lights, something many motorists have voiced out against. Those who install these lights seek to get an advantage on the road by posing as enforcement officials or VIPs.
JSPT made an example out of this white Alphard you see in the video below. Yesterday, the MPV was stopped by the cops near the Batu Caves industrial area. It was found to be using blue strobe lights, installed at the base of the windscreen.
The driver was investigated under a rule (Kaedah 94 Kaedah-Kaedah Kenderaan Motor, Pembuatan dan Penggunaan, 1959) that if found guilty, can be fined not more than RM2,000 or jail of not more than six months. JSPT stressed that it’s illegal for private vehicle to have strobe lights.
The law states that only vehicles responding to emergencies such as those used by the police, bomba, JPJ and ambulances are allowed to gain right of way above other road users with sirens or two-tone horns. Perhaps we should all capture these unauthorised strobe light users on camera and tag the cops.

This is so common it’s not even funny anymore. Typically, there would be crests on the plate number too, stating where their titles come from……….
Let’s end this culture.
“2k only. No prob. I can pay. Biforti can stfu…”
Reality.
Don’t forget about funeral vans! Those fuckers use emergency lights, horn and highlight to force me to give my lane! It’s a 2 way road and they want to use both lanes! The person aredy dead what’s the rush. ♂️
Depends. If it is hearse carriers, then yeah no point to rush. Bit if it is Van Jenazah, then they have to rush as our fellow muslim followers have a short window for burial hence the rush. I do hope our people learn more about the cultures of others so as to be more understanding here. No offense.
It’s the same for other culture as they have a timing for burial/cremation. But usually they travel in single file on the slow lane and I would agree it’s wrong to take up both lane and aggressively push their way thru. But not all act that way.
Other certain cultures take their time manmanlai go slow towards cemetery with a long train behind. Not the same as muslims bros.
RM2000 means nothing for those able to own tis type of car. Giv them afew days to dismantle the light n report bac to police station.
rm 2k is the maximum the law allows to fine. PDRM cant go above the law here. This is not usa where police arbitrarily goes beyond their scope of power.
Then the MPs should change the law. Maybe the 2k fine was for 20 years ago. Now should be 10k.
20 years ago the max saman was rm300 bro. That 2k saman was recent.
The proper course of action is cuffing the owner (not chauffeur) and making them watch their compensation-mobile being turned into a half cut!
Mantap abam PDRM! Saman kawkaw! Patriotic Rakyat Malaysia sapot abam PDRM!

Good. I never give way to those vehicle with this type of strobe light and without siren
i wish to do that too but i drive a little mazda2, they would literally force their way
increase the fine
Rm2k is nothing. The penalty should be much higher for impersonating a police vehicle.
What happens when these creeps start pulling people over, getting their personal details or harassing them?
That’s not what they charged him/her for. They can but that’s not it. Something just fishy as fu*k
Any form of automotive lighting nuisance should be given heavy fines and mandatory jail of between 1 week to 6 months. Besides strobe lights, book also those who drive with rear fog lights constantly on, and also those who think that it’s cool to drive with headlights off and only bumper-installed lights on.
These people know exactly what they are doing.. and they will laugh off at the public when they duped them by their antics. They are imposing as officers of Law to con the public for their own advantage. They should be given the max sentence as prescribed by the Law for their indiscretion and deliberate action.
Should change it to minimum 10k fine.. maximum of 2k, penny change for these sort of people
Put him behind bars for a month and let him play with his strobe-lights there.
this is the surest n best deterrent!!! once “kena” both him/her n others alike would learned n behaving themselves afterwards.
Practically every morning from monday to friday at around 7.25am a convoy of white police van will sound their siren rushing through the jam. Wonder it is legal to do that. I suspect these vans with passengers inside are rushing to report to work in KL. Why are they given this privileged while others are driving slowly in the jam to work too. It happened from batu 8 cheras Cuepec poliice contingent direction to the main cheras highway
Those are real police. They can do whatever they want to do. Any obstruction to them may result in fines or penalty. I have no problem on this. But main issue here is cars acting like police cars. They should be penalised like a person impersonating a police guy.
Nobody is above the law. Everybody MUST obey traffic laws. Should be ONLY in EXTREME EMERGENCY involving life and death then they can use the siren and strobe.
Who are you to say those sirens and lights are not about EXTREME EMERGENCY involving life and death?
Boss very good salah tangkap…dan banyak kereta ada bunyi Exso pipe sangat bising ini orang supid mahu kacau orang awam
exzos bising nie is out of control. grab, food panda, and its cause serious health issue to the public. thinking when gov gonna end this or never happen
Colour lights r normal nowadays. I noticed lots of lorries wt white colour brake light. Can pass jpj inspection?
As an effective deterrent, such idiots should go straight to jail.
Good job well done PDRM!
It’s easy to catch but difficult to prevent this from happening. Actually, just fine them rm200 and jail them 2 weeks. This will prevent anyone from doing this.
However, more irritating is uniformed authorities are abusing this by using it when not in emergency.
Last week, I saw, Majlis Perbandaran Kluang traffic wardens doing the same thing and asking cars to give way in KL road. Is this legal?
Also don’t forget to saman those car with no third brake light (mostly from kilang kereta Sg.Choh )

Serve your right..padan muka..selfish driver
Patut pun polis saman pengguna jalan raya yg mementing kan diri saperti ini. No plate mengeliru kan, cermin gelap pun patut disaman kerana cermin gelap pada sebelah blkg mengakibat kan kita tidak nmpk brake ketiga keenderaan didepan nya. Secara tak langsung split second kita telah dinafikan, mengakibat kan lampu brake ke tiga keenderaan dihadapan kereta yg kita ekori terhalang olih cermin gelap nmpk. Apa guna ada lampu brake ketiga kalau begitu
Keep tab on vehicle. Check daily and summon every time. 2k each summon. Gajah pun kurus
Can Malaysia just abolish all penalty fines? Fines is just a form of discrimination with the poor since rich people can pay double fines and not even impacting their cashflow.
Replace fines with jail term, canning, community services, etc.
Wot aboUt tnb maintenance truck that uses sirens?
Even the funeral parlour’s vans are using these strobes and sirens to get their way through the busy traffic. The installers of these strobes should also be booked for selling to unauthorized buyers.
2,000.00 fine? Max? That’s just carwash money. If they can use an Alphad, 2,000.00 is nothing.
Suspend their license for 2-4 years, Fine RM10k
We should punish him :
– Let’s forbid this gangster to get his next free injection against monkey-pox2.0 !
He doesn’t deserve free experimental healthcare! No more yummy injection for this evil driver !!!
No more free vaccines for this kind of criminal!
Make the jail term mandatory.
Those drivers should put a pink or rainbow strob, at least it would correspond to their faggot’s profiles…
By the way, we also have tons of fake doctors and “doubious specialists” on tv to push the sells of their big pharma drugs & snake oils sponsors, why not having “improvised self proclamed vip tards” on the road?
Oh? I forgot… Ah Beng can be jailed because of fake police strobe, but Google and Pfizer cannot be jailed to fake a pandemy, and poison people, isn’t it…
Some people on this planet have so much influence (under the table) that they don’t care about laws, in fact? They write the laws according to their “financial off-shors inovations”…
But let’s stay focused on fighting the real Evil :
– Ah Beng playing police light in Batu Cave LOL
We should stay calm and rational :
If this driver has completed 3 jabs + 2 boosters and wear at least 2 masks, he or she cannot be such a baaad person…
Brothers & Sisters, in the name of Humanity® (and their associates in Davos), let’s forgive this innocent sinner. LOVE!
Of course, if he/she/it is not vaccinated against the Cohen-19 flu, we should immediatly cane that monster and stone it, and then, burn it in public place :-/ Aimen lol
It’s illegal, it’s illegal… Well, well, well :
– Forcing someone to get injected with an experimental drug shouldn’t be “ILLEGAL” too?
By the way, is mass medication legal?
(So much hypocrisy and stupidity since God $cience has replaced comon sense…)
kenderaan pihak berkuasa tempatan.. is it an emergency vehicle…? at a glance the design sometimes looks like a police car.. do they have the rights to use the blue strobe light..? plus the super dark tinted window… even their uniform also mimics the police force..
And… while on vehicle modifications, how about coming down hard on people who use high intensity led headlights who blind there drivers. Accidents can happen when blinded.
2k only?
Should fine 20k, road tax, insurance, NCD and car license all burn.
Need to get new road tax, insurance and retake new car license.
Menteri transport….. Bangun la…
Jgn tidor lg….

Rm2000/ is too cheap. Why not make it Rm10,000/ and mandatory jail sentence. Let’s wait and see if there’s anymore of these parasites fooling around with beacon or strobe lights.
