JPJ has uncovered foreigners offering illegal transport services for passengers and goods. JPJ Terengganu director Mohd Zamri Samion said that the majority of the individuals nabbed were from the Rohingya ethnic group, and the vehicles were rented from Malaysians.
He said that the activity is not just illegal, but it endangers the safety of road users as the drivers involved do not possess driving licenses (CDL) or road tax (LKM) for the vehicles.
“We detected the activity of foreigners especially Rohingya who are using private vehicles rented from the locals to ferry passengers, children and goods used in their daily activities. This matter cannot be treated lightly as most of them do not have LKM and CDL. For example, the recent case of a Rohingya man who was driving dangerously and caused the death of a motorcyclist,” he said yesterday, reported by Bernama.
Mohd Zamri said JPJ Terengganu has seized 114 vehicles and issued 559 summonses for various offences under Operasi Penguatkuasaan Warga Asing (Ops PEWA) that started on June 1. 93 of the seized vehicles involved Rohingya drivers without any driving credentials or vehicle ownership documents.
“We want to give a clear message that strong action will be taken towards foreign drivers who break the rules, as well as vehicle owners who are found to be collaborating by renting out vehicles,” he warned, adding that JPJ went undercover into the villages to detect the illegal drivers.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
arrest and deport these rohingya back to Myanmar. for the locals, fine them, jail them and seize their cars. they will be ban from holding driving license too.
no harm done so no need such harsh punishment , these are merely minor offences.
authorities better focus on more serious crimes such as walking on Q book , and selling halla soxx from jj mart.
sorry typo , halla socks from kkmart
Fine the local heavily, suspend their licenses. It can be done, it’s just the enforcers are not enforcing due to selective and preferential treatment.
For those who never study and simply said deport back deport back… please use ur right mind to think about it, Its not easy to deport like u mentioned, even if u bring to the World Court, they can’t help it too, as this is not just the problem faced by us. Coz Myanmar doesnt recognize this bunch of peoples, and they are so eager to kick them out, and some of the countries, like us… wana play hero at first and accept them, and somehow probably turn blind eyes on many illegally arrived one, and then now, we are in the middle of nowhere, I think our PMX do call the MYANMAR authority or gov, but they dunwan the trash, and we already bring it in and now its hard for us to just send them away, as no one wants them, Singapore is clever in this sense, they prohibit it right from the beginning.
As for the LOCAL…. fine wat la.. unless it has become VIRAL, if not, no fine… coz our authority can then have a chance to pocket more money… this is happening before, and happening now, and will always be happening unless a true real and not hypocrite fight against corruption!
then these rohingya will become like how Israel took over palenstine lands in the past.
pls don’t arrest them , they just want a future in malaysia
Permanent black scare on Malaysia image to the world , if these not stop tday it would be biggest ever threat and headache to us , these people r from deep jungle survivors in their country of origin (which Myanmar)not recognised them even ,
Kindly stop them now and place them to other country
Msia love to collect garbage
Human being are not Garbage, Brother.
We accepted them, remember Najib making speech’s about their plight. And opening the doors for them. End of the day, their are human beings, trying to make ends meet.
do you know how many of them have a malaysian wife and three other rohingya wives living happily ever after, applying various business assistance from corporations that assists bumiputera’s business only, they are too clever to find loopholes like these so its only a matter of time for them to run for a campaign to elect a rohingya pm.
If u do not have brain or WOW brain better dun speak! first of all, for those who really have legal wife, then those are not their fault and nor the malaysian wife fault that they in love, even if that is loopholes, at least they dun giv a shit of their holes to u! that’s a pity u can only play ur gugu with ur bloddy mind! I do not support those illegally coming in creating problems, but as long as they live on our terms, and bringing up economically and doing good, what so wrong wit it after all? The malay of the past can accept Chinese & Indian, The Chinese & Indian now can some how accept some of the indon, and outher south east asian or expatrait? i dont see why that a big fuss?! as long as they follow law legally, that’s fine! for those illegal, then tat is other matters! and that is what we need to prevent
Why the government of union of Malaysia allowed this b*sted group to enter in Malaysia. Look at that gave problems to this country! Really absolutely absurd!!
lohingya once they are here they are never going to leave as they are free to populate like rabbits. Nurul izzah was championing bringing them in and now their population is beyond control. Go to Selayang and see for yourself
Remember, you invite them to your country. You made concerts, poem recitation etc but dont allow them to work, study and own assets. How else do they survive. Next time think before want to become world hero
how did Grab approves this? I thought they screen the drivers and the cars?
