Continuous enforcement efforts by Kuala Lumpur Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (JSPT) saw six Malay youth aged between 17 and 21 detained. Additionally, three pillion riders aged 13, 16 and 18 were also detained, while seven motorcycles were seized.
In a late night/pre-dawn operation on the night of July 3 and the morning July 4, JSPT conducted an operation around Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman dan Jalan Raja Laut. The operation involved two senior officers and 16 other ranks who managed to apprehend the six riders for performing wheelies and other dangerous stunts on public roads.
The seven motorcycles were seized under Section 60 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for investigation and further action. JSPT is taking a serious view of road hooligans in Kuala Lumpur with such operations conducted on a daily basis.
Police ask parents and guardians of youth to play a more active role in supervising their children’s activities, especially at night. Road users are also asked to ensure safety on the road remains a priority for all.
Anak saya baik orangnya
Aiya..seized for what, behind the scene receive money and give it back
PDRM should more often cracked down all this illegal bikes, its really annoying and irritating….should also impose heavy penalties including jail.
To paraphrase the legendary Ling Liong Sik regarding the high rate of motorcyclist accidents and deaths, “Mereka mahu mati, apa boleh kita buat?”If they ride with a death wish with no regard for the safety of other road users, no amount of banning, restrictions, etc will ever reduce the fatality rate. They will just find other ways to kill themselves and harm other road users.
