The ‘war against overloaded commercial vehicles‘, or Ops Perang Lebih Muatan, is not a seasonal thing; it will be carried out year-round, transport minister Anthony Loke has said, according to a Bernama report.
“Last year, we launched large-scale operations against overloading, and they had a significant impact by demonstrating the government’s seriousness in addressing this issue. However, some parties assumed enforcement ended last December. So, I want to make it clear that enforcement activities are ongoing at all times and remain a core responsibility of the road transport department (JPJ),” he said yesterday.
169,965 heavy vehicles were inspected from October 14 to December 31, 2025 – 3,563 were found overloaded and 6,843 notices were issued to drivers and vehicle owners, along with 4,983 saman.
“If violations are detected, firm action will be taken. Do not assume enforcement has been halted or relaxed,” Loke said, adding that enforcement this year will also place strong emphasis on overall road safety, including drink-driving, street racing and bikers’ safety.

Last week during Q&A in Dewan Rakyat, the transport minister, in his reply to the MP of Rasah, said that the number of fatal accidents involving heavy vehicles in 2025 had decreased by 37% as compared to year 2024.
It’s always Anthony Loke problem. Others just hide behind. maybe we should pay Loke triple salary since you expect him to be responsible for the jobs of transport miniuster, law minister, and pdrm minister.
He came out with many stupid ideas of allowing unlimited darkness to tinting. Also he stop issuing physical license and road tax.
yeah so what does unlimited darkness to tinting and stop issuing physical license and road tax, have to do with overloaded lorries? not related at all.
Loke introduced no limit to rear windscreen and windows to avoid peeping tom like yourself to look inside other vehicles. It makes rempits hard to determine whether there are valuables hidden around the rear seats, deterring break-ins.
Which is good for leaving your child behind and forgotten about it.
