The road transport department (JPJ) has seized 101 luxury vehicles that have been linked to various traffic offences. During the course of the nationwide operation, called Ops Luxury, the department hauled an assortment of vehicles from various brands such as Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lotus, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
These vehicles were found to have violated traffic laws by either having expired road tax (LKM), no valid insurance coverage, displaying the number plate of a different registered vehicle, using illegal number plates or for having mismatched chassis numbers to that listed in the JPJ database.
The department said that Selangor and Kuala Lumpur recorded the most cases, with 17 vehicles each, followed by Penang (14), Perak (11), Johor (10), Kedah (nine), Pahang and Melaka (five each), Negri Sembilan (four), Kelantan (three), Terengganu and Sabah (two each), and Sarawak and Perlis (one each).
All of the vehicles are currently detained at the JPJ storage depot for investigation and further action under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and related regulations, said JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli.
He said that the operation sends a clear message that the department will not compromise with any party that fails to comply with road regulations. “Owning a luxury vehicle is not an excuse to ignore one’s responsibilities as a legal road user,” he said, calling on vehicle owners to be responsible by ensuring that vehicle documents and driving licenses are always updated and valid.
Stating that JPJ will continue similar operations from time to time, he said the public can channel information regarding violations of the law via the MyJPJ app’s e-Complaint function or email [email protected] with complete complaint details.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
no insurance? kantoi.. got money buy car no money insurance.. maybe car also counterfeit
There’s likely some syndicate(s) bringing in these cars without paying any duties also. An industrial area near where I live has a lot of those so called “sifu” workshops specializing in servicing/modifying luxury brands. I always see a lot of exotic sports cars sitting in the premises, and most of them don’t have number plates attached.
All these and then what?
Release after paying a few bucks?
What’s the point when it’s not a penalty sour enough to ensure no repeat offence?
Let’s say Roadtax and insurance a year is RM10k and the summon if caught is RM2k only.
You do the math…
all these while b40 motorcycle bullies are running free on the road daily
No road tax and no insurance is very serious. You can imagine what will happen with the car being involved in an accident resulting in serious damage or death to a third party. Jail time alone is not enough.
Thats y u see them drive omg slow only for show. They dont dare to floor it, they internal part also very poor condition afraid burn or gear box engine burst.
Detained the car until they cleared all the fees
If they can’t pay the fees just put them behind bars and auction off the cars

i dont mind reporting law violations but if jpj only doing enforcement to luxury car then nobody is gonna bother and everything gonna be the same
Aiya..nowadays ppl not stupid. Those drivong exotic cars probably do not own it. Prob recond car dealer workers or related family. Most car prob also illegal u knw what I mean. Thus without insurance no reg number diff chasis no this that. Why they dont dare to speed kaw kaw? Because worry car will die or burn. Only luar paint qork cantik engine internal all kaw kaw d. No one dare to floor it. Nanti accident or burst engine kena check polis habis kete compound.Tak Mampu then buy 1.8T recond C coupe or CLA mod AMG body Kits boleh tipu la. AMG45 oso very cheap recon. Those driving new BMW Merc like G30 G60 G20 2024 E400 C300 la yg kaya. Normally they pay everything legally thru official dealer. Their price at 300-500k can buy nice recon porsche gts or panamera etc already but they dont want only. Kalao porsche from official dealer Panamera at 1.4mil ok itu betul kaya.
