JPJ inspected 1.2m commercial vehicles in 2025 – 240,493 saman, 465 seized; focus on overloading

JPJ says that it is committed to continue nationwide enforcement against commercial vehicles that run afoul of the rules via Operasi Lebih Muatan.

Director-general of the road transport department Datuk Aedy Fadly bin Ramli revealed that JPJ inspected 1.2 million vehicles in 2025, and of that total, action was taken on 240,493 vehicles, including the seizure of 465 units under Section 80 of the Land Public Transport Act 2010.

At an operation at the Dengkil R&R yesterday, he said that the JPJ is focusing on overloading offences, technical enforcement and the usage of the speed limit device (SLD). JPJ stresses that it will not compromise on rule-breaking and enforcement efforts will continue to be strengthened for the safety of the public.

Of late, there has been no shortage of road accidents involving lorries, so much so that Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Al-Haj, weighed in with an advice to the government to step up action. Of course, the industry fought back with pressure, but the rules are there for a reason.
