The Road Transport Department (JPJ) announced yesterday that they have seized a total of 101 luxury vehicles under “Ops Luxury” – a nationwide operation specifically targeting luxury vehicles for violating road traffic laws. Some of the luxury vehicles confiscated included cars from Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Porsche, Lotus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, as well as Toyota Alphards and Vellfires.
Many of the cars seized under the operation were found with either an expired Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM), no valid insurance coverage, an expired or invalid driving licence (CDL), false registration number plate or trade plates, or a chassis number that did not match the department’s records.
Most of the violations centred around the Klang Valley, with Kuala Lumpur and Selangor both recording 17 cases each. Other larger states such as Penang and Johor followed with 14 and 10 cases respectively. Interestingly, Perak and Kedah also reported a notable number of violations, with 11 and nine cases respectively—make of that what you will.
Next up the list are Pahang and Melaka, with five cases each. The confiscated vehicles are currently held at the JPJ storage depot for investigation and further action under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and related regulations.

JPJ Director-General, YBhg. Dato’ Aedy Fadly bin Ramli, said, “The execution of Ops Luxury sends a clear message that JPJ will not compromise with any party that fails to comply with road regulations. Owning a luxury car is not an excuse to neglect one’s responsibilities as a lawful road user.”
The department urges vehicle owners to be responsible by making sure their vehicle documents and driving license are updated and valid. They also assured that they will continue to carry out similar operations every so often to ensure a safe environment for travellers.
Road users are encouraged to report any form of traffic law violations through the MyJPJ app (e-Aduan) or email at [email protected].
