Ferrari, Porsche among 23 luxury cars seized by JPJ
A Rohingya man, in his 20s, was detained after the vehicle he was driving was detected moving in a convoy with several other vehicles at the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway toll plaza.
Federal territories road transport department (JPJ) director Hamidi Adam announced that 23 luxury and high-performance vehicles, including a Ferrari F8, Porsche Macan, and Range Rover Sport, were seized in Kuala Lumpur. The operation, which took place from Tuesday to Thursday, also saw the arrest of a Rohingya man in his 20s, who was found driving without a valid licence.
The man was detained after his vehicle was detected moving in a convoy with several other cars at the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway toll plaza. JPJ director Hamidi Adam warned vehicle owners, particularly those with high-powered and luxury vehicles, not to use the status or value of their cars as an excuse to disregard regulations.
Instead, they must ensure their road tax, insurance coverage, and driving licence are always valid before operating the vehicle. During the special operation, a total of 73 notices were issued, with 39 for expired motor vehicle licences, 30 for lack of insurance coverage, three for missing driving licences, and one for displaying another vehicle's registration number.
The special operation targeting luxury vehicles began in January, resulting in the seizure of 179 vehicles and the issuance of 393 notices.
