The key performance indicator of the road transport department (JPJ) is the reduction of fatal accidents, and not the number of summonses issued to motorists, said transport minister Anthony Loke, reported Bernama. This was in response to queries regarding the number of summonses issued since Monday, March 16.
“I want to emphasise that our goal is not to issue summonses. Our objective is to ensure that everyone complies with road traffic laws. Our KPI is not the number of summonses issued, but rather the reduction of road accident rates. This is the primary mission of the Transport Ministry and JPJ,” he said.
The transport ministry aims to intensify the perception of being caught by increasing patrols by enforcement personnel in identified hotspots to remind motorists that they are being monitored, and thus encourage more prudent and cautious behaviour on the road, Loke said.
The physical patrols carried out will be complemented by modern technology in order to increase monitoring effectiveness. “This includes the deployment of six traffic surveillance drones, enforcement action cameras, smart enforcement devices, officer body cameras and dashboard cameras. This not only facilitates operations but also ensures broader and more precise monitoring,” said the transport minister.
The Kuala Lumpur JPJ Special Aidilfitri Operation commenced on March 17 and will run until March 29, and the integrated nationwide operation will involve 3,000 JPJ enforcement personnel. This operation focuses on nine major road offences, including speeding, running red lights, using a mobile phone while driving and overtaking in the emergency lane, according to the report.

It’s always Anthony Loke problem. Others law enforcement agencies just hide behind.
Are you sure, Loke? I think all Malaysians will immediately think of another objective when they see roadblocks. It rhymes with rocket bunny and has the same initials as Prime Minister.
do the crime, pay the fine. the wealthy T1 are shivering and dont even dare to drive out their supercar lambo because they havent renew roadta insurance.

Wow, since when did PH become so strict?
Yup,
JPJ really ensure we obey the rules…even last time i kena roadblock due to my rear window tinted too dark (before Loke implement window rules) , the enforcer only give me a notice and warning regarding this issue, and asked me to settle my window within 2 weeks and return to JPJ for inspection..that all…no saman..Of cos i did what they required…Only the white legs did roadblock and saman us saja..
He is not lying here….he clearly state the objective. How to achieve the objective? LOTS of ways.
