Kapcais with super thin tyres, known as ‘tayar sotong’, bikes with no rear brakes and loud exhausts were among the 90 motorcycles seized following a New Year’s Day traffic operation conducted by PDRM KL’s Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT). The cops also issued 378 saman and inspected some 800 motorcycles.
Ops Samseng Jalanan was in full force in KL city centre in the first few hours of 2026. Locations JSPT KL focused on included Jalan Tun Razak heading towards Sungai Besi, Jalan Ipoh heading towards Chow Kit, Jalan Ipoh heading towards Sentul, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (near the old Coliseum restaurant) and Jalan Pahang towards Bulatan Pahang.
The operations started at 2.45 am on New Year’s Day and ended around 5am. Involving eight officers and 80 members, Ops Samseng Jalanan focused on illegal vehicle modification, no lesen and other offences in the Road Transport Act 1987.
“Strong action was taken, especially towards motorcycles with extreme modifications. Any modification to the structure including loud exhausts and the lack of rear brakes can be seized under Section 60 of the Road Transport Act 1987. The bikes will also be inspected by the Department of Environment and JPJ,” JSPT KL head Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa told the media, reported by Kosmo.
“There were no incidents. There were attempts to escape, but our team intercepted them. We urge parents to closely monitor their children’s activities to prevent them from getting involved in offences that violate the law,” he added, quoted by The Star.
The most detailed report was from Sinar Harian, the owner of the two images attached in this post. The daily said that most of the bikes seized were Yamaha Y15ZR and Yamaha LC135 models and many of the riders were aged between 15 and 19 years old. Mohd Zamzuri said that the police received reports from hotels and residents around the area complaining about loud motorcycle exhausts.
“This exhaust is borrowed from my friend, I know it’s wrong. The rear brakes are broken, tuan,” a young rider told the cops with his head bowed.
Fully support! PDRM should more often cracked down all this illegal activities and modification, its really annoying and irritating….should also impose heavy penalties including jail.
UEC x boleh. orang kito boleh vroomm
kenderaan yg tidak mematuhi ciri ciri keselamatan yg ditetapkan mesti di sita dan dikeluarkan dari jalanraya. ia bukan sahaja membahayakan penunggang tetapi mengganggu pengguna jalan lain sehingga mungkin membahayakan pengguna lain akibat nak elak kenderaan ini.
Can look across the causeway for laws to follow, and enforce them! Those obnoxiously loud exhaust must go –
Singapore’s motorcycle modification laws are strict, requiring Land Transport Authority (LTA) approval for changes, with illegal modifications leading to heavy fines, imprisonment, and voided insurance; prohibited changes often involve engine/exhaust tampering, non-standard lighting (like LEDs), unsafe bodywork (like crash bars or lowered stances), and altered vehicle dimensions……….
Any person, including workshops, who illegally modifies or uses such vehicles can be fined up to $5,000, imprisoned up to 3 months, or both. The penalties for repeat offenders are doubled.
and that is why 1 SGD = 3.2 MYR
Keep the bikes at least 12 months before allowing release. That will teach them a lesson. Or two.
Especially the loud noise.. really a nuisance.
the loud noise really is a nuisance at 615am daily waking up sleeping neighbourhood, no wait sorry that noise is not from bikes.
There should be a law allowing Police to shoot them at sight. Bloody menace, parasites.
we need another Sam Ke Ting to run them over and cleanse the road
only otak udang kayu will remove rear brake and ride
After seize them all, straight to the meatgrinder at the metal scrapyard. Slap these idiots with hefty fine. They have been road nuisance number one everywhere.
Destroy all of such bikes. Slap 20-year prison sentences on shop owners selling such crap.
But due to this precious vote bank, the authorities will never take any drastic but necessary measures..
Please extend the operation at other states and kampung. Such a nuisance this bikes.
Excellent action by PDRM KL’s Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT). I asked to action in taman pusat kepong flats and Taman Sri Segambut . Very loud exhausts motorcycle by young people. Thank you.
