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 revealed that Ferrari F8, Porsche Macan, and Range Rover Sport were among the 23 luxury and high-performance vehicles seized in Kuala Lumpur. Other seized vehicles comprised BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, and Toyota Alphard models. The special operation, conducted from Tuesday to Thursday, found a Rohingya man in his 20s driving a Honda Civic Type R without a valid licence, along with three others driving without valid licenses.
JPJ director Hamidi Adam cautioned vehicle owners, particularly those driving high-powered and luxury vehicles, not to use the vehicle's status or value as an excuse to disregard regulations. He emphasized the importance of ensuring road tax, insurance coverage, and driving licence validity before operating the vehicle. A total of 73 notices were issued during the operation, including 39 for expired motor vehicle licences, 30 for no insurance coverage, three for no driving licence, and one for displaying another vehicle's registration number.
The special operation targeting luxury vehicles commenced in January, leading to the seizure of 179 vehicles and issuance of 393 notices.
