A total of 78,152 summons was issued by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) for various offences since November 1. During the 2024 Motorcycle Special Ops held in November, JPJ also issued 1,530 notices to foreign national riders and pillions.
In an official statement, JPJ seized 2,125 motorcycles for various offences, while 234 riders were screened and 34 detained after testing positive for drug use. Scheduled to run from November 1 to December 31, the Motorcycle Special Ops is conducted nationwide.
According to JPJ, the Motorcycle Special Ops is in response to statistics showing a rising trend for motorcycle accidents and fatalities. As recorded by police, the death toll from fatal motorcycle accidents currently stands at 1,908, or 70% of total road accident fatalities.
Listed in the statement are eight offences which JPJ are focusing on to reduce the numbers. These are not having a driving licence, expired road tax, no insurance, running red lights, extreme vehicle modification, not wearing a helmet, illegal racing and other technical offences.
You know what JPJ and PDRM should be.
Get the help of the app they are working for eg, the green one, the animal mascot and the orange one.
They would have all the info of their independent contractors.
They could help on issues like non confirming number plates and bikes.
If their tools of trade are “legal”, ok to go, else get it fix.

72k summons. What is the outcome? Did the death rate go down? Enough pretending and cinematics. The gomen seems to be happy to see these motorcyclists behaviour on the road
I am a daily rider too..
1. Its 02-Dec-2024 and have never seen any road block on the roads that i ride on.
2.From what i have observed is the the accidents are caused because the riders are
a) impatient.. no slowing down- even when cars signal and the rider is behind the car by 10-15 metres they do not slow down and give way for the car to turn
b) no focus- checking their phones or eating while the bike is moving.
How is the 78,152 summons going to solve this 2 concerns?
saman saman buat apa?
orang tak bayar…
Fix the problem, make sure they will pay… else the saman is just a paper… wasting your time…
Another form of revenue collection? And later discount fiesta again? Another hangat tahi ayam enforcement?
Let’s do the maths…close to 80k summons…say each RM 50 after the usual “fiesta” discount now and then…and assume 50% paying…hence…walao RM 2 mil…not bad…not bad.
to combat drug abuse, our law penalize the drug dealers, right? so to combat illegal motorbike modification, why dont our law penalize the workshops that modify these bikes?
