Earlier this week, the road transport department (JPJ) carried out a series of road inspections in three states to weed out foreign nationals riding or driving vehicles without valid licences. Operasi Pemandu Warga Asing (PEWA) saw road checks being conducted in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Melaka.
The blitz netted quite a haul. In Kuala Lumpur, the department issued 280 summonses for various offences during its inspection, which took place around Jalan Tasik Tambahan in Ampang, as Bernama reports.
Out of that number, 114 summonses were issued to foreigners for not having a driving licence, 32 summonses for vehicles without insurance cover, while 68 vehicles were seized, comprising 64 motorcycles, two cars and two lorries.
According to KL JPJ deputy director Erick Jusiang, the inspection found that most of the seized vehicles belonged to locals driven by foreigners. “I advise locals not to rent or allow foreigners to drive their vehicles because a summons will be issued to the driver and owner and the vehicle will be confiscated under Section 64 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,” he said.
He added that 49 foreigners from Bangladesh, Myanmar, India, Pakistan and Indonesia were also arrested in the operation for not having valid travel documents and overstaying in the country. The individuals were taken to the immigration department office in Kuala Lumpur for further action.
In Melaka, an inspection carried out at Taman Peruna Sungai Udang, saw 21 vehicles being seized, consisting of 19 motorcycles and two cars. The department said that all the seized vehicles either had expired road tax or were being driven by individuals without a valid licence.
Meanwhile, in Penang, the Ops PEWA inspection carried out in Bulatan Seberang Jaya saw the seizure of 26 motorcycles and a car, with the cases all involving foreign nationals. As was the case with those in Melaka, all the seized vehicles either had expired road tax or were being driven by individuals without a valid licence.

You should find the root of the problem or else this will never end. Oh i don’t think it will end because the JPJ is known with rasuah
You have to look at the root of the problem, How can these foreigners buy or rent motorcycle easily? If you are a motorcycle shop owner, you seriously going to reject a buying customer eventhough they are foreigners with no valid documents, etc?
So,the bikes got “di sita” n stored in the JPJ yard.
What happens when owner wants to “redeem” the bike?
“Macam mana,mau setel? “Is there a ‘foolproof “way that one can pay the fine and collect our “swei”
bike without paying “duit kopi ?”
The best way is to jail the blardy owner for at least 6 months,sita the bike permanently,lelong it..proceeds go to rumah anak yatim.
Ahlokekor…pls get parliament to pass new laws if needed to stop this shit from overflowing.
The root caused by greedy owner / employer
Mind you, RXZ biker all have roadtax and license, they not meet the standard, that’s all
GOOD JOB JPJ DO MORE LIKE THIS
AliBaba Land boleh tumpang lesen bisnes malu apa BossKu
Foreigners need to go to work too. They are hard working and contribute greatly to the economy. There is nothing that JPJ should be proud off. Maybe if ‘spoon fed’ Malaysian work in low paying jobs that foreigners currently do and contribute to the economy in the same manner then foreigners would not have to be here.
where those viral heroes…pity those bikers that got sita. Can giveaway new bike like the food panda rider ?
