We reported previously that the operation has seen JPJ seize 101 vehicles for numerous offences, including having an invalid or expired LKM or driving licence (CDL), using false registration number plates, or having a chassis number that did not match JPJ’s records. To date, some 421 luxury vehicles have been seized, Bernama reports.
Speaking to media at a press conference, Loke said, “Among [the owners of these vehicles] are prominent individuals — Tan Sri, politicians, businessmen. I urge them to carry out their responsibility [and pay their road tax].”
The seized vehicles will be placed under JPJ’s storage pending investigation and further action under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and related regulations.
In related news, Loke has reported a very low compliance rate for the Speed Limiter Device (SLD) verification, which is set to begin phase one of enforcement on 1 October 2025 for heavy vehicles registered after January 1, 2015.
As of September 23, 2025, only 2,915 out of 108,805 targeted heavy vehicles in Phase 1—a mere 2.68%—have completed the process, leaving 97.32% yet to be verified.
The SLD is a device designed to enforce the maximum speed limit of 90 km/h on heavy vehicles, including commercial and heavy goods vehicles (over 3,500 kg), rebuilt vehicles and used imported goods vehicles (over 3,500 kg), buses, and passenger vehicles (carrying more than 8 people and over 5,000 kg).
The first phase of enforcement, starting October 1, applies to all heavy vehicles registered after January 1, 2015. For vehicles registered before that date, enforcement will begin on January 1, 2026. As part of the new regulations, all heavy vehicles must keep a valid SLD certificate inside the vehicle at all times, with renewals required every two years.
