JPJ says it has not issued any notice of conducting a large-scale operation to check on vehicles in October

The road transport department (JPJ) says that it has not issued any notice that it will be conducting a large-scale operation in October to check vehicles for illegal modifications and excessive tinting. This comes following viral posts on social media and messages circulating through mobile chats claiming that it was set to do so.

In a post on its official Facebook page, the department said it was aware of the posts and messages, but stressed that it has not issued any such notice as reported in these posts.

The department advised the public not to trust unverified information received online and to contact the nearest JPJ office for more accurate information, should that be required.

Earlier this year, the department had to issue a disclaimer regarding the sale of registration numbers through a supposedly official account on the TikTok platform, stating that the social media account in question was fake.

      • It said “no large scale operation”, not “no operation at all” for October. Shouldn’t authorities correct fake news?

          Why authorities need to announce the operasi?
          OPerasi should be conducted regularly all year round,unannounced, officers banned from carrying handphones during operasi etc.
          The next time the robber targets your house,he will announce it on tiktok,twitter,facebook.
          Just pathetic madani civil servants funded by tax Ringgit.

    All JPJ “large scale” operations are conducted without announcement.

    Easier to makan kopi duit that way.

    • Any operation can lead to duit kopi. They can also have the same kopi sitting in their office.

      Please tell, how to reduce the traffic offenders as far as licence, roadtax, tint, number font and illegal modifications.

    Of course JPJ will say it’s fake news. Otherwise how are they going to cari makan when everyone is cautious?

    But, have no fear. As long as Ah Loke is MOT, we can expect more and more degenerate behaviour and practices to be legalized. Full pitch black tinting has been legalized. Absence of road tax stickers have been legalized. Soon loud exhausts and fancy lighting will be legalized also.

    • I have to agree with this. The dark tint is a stupid move. People cannot see the road condition beyond the car in front.

          Distance has got nothing to do with it.

          Do you know why third brake lights were implemented? So that there’s a higher brake light that will be visible though the front and rear windshields of the vehicle immediately behind, to provide an indication to the car that’s two cars behind.

          By allowing pitch black tint, Ah Loke the genius has effectively rendered third brake lights useless.

    Regulatory activities should never be seasonal. If that’s the case they should not have full-time employees. they should recruit on an operational basis and keep the depts lean saving some of the taxpayers’ money. Make announcements of the regulatory changes and follow up on that with actions.

      You mean JPJ should hire temp staffs on top of their overbloated workforce? How is that even better?

    This idark tint is double edge sword . It impaired the frontal view of the next next car in front . And also side view when there is car beside during exiting road junction .

      Tell that to Loke who approve super dark tint to be legal during his 1st stint as TM.
