Road Transport Department (JPJ) plans to meet with RXZ Members organizers to discuss safety enhancements for upcoming motorcycle gatherings, following a string of accidents linked to the event, according to Sinar Harian. The first engagement session will take place at JPJ headquarters in Putrajaya, with JPJ Senior Director of Enforcement Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan stating that the focus of the meeting is not to restrict the event but to prioritize road safety for both participants and other road users.
On August 2, media reported that JPJ would intensify enforcement against motorcycle gathering participants, including holding an engagement session with organizers in light of frequent accidents associated with such events. During the RXZ Members 8.0 programme, which took place from July 30 to August 2, 46 road accidents involving motorcyclists were recorded, with 11 cases (24%) resulting in fatalities, five cases (11%) involving serious injuries, and 30 cases (65%) resulting in minor injuries.
