The Kuala Lumpur Department of Environment (DOE) conducted an enforcement operation around the capital city, inspecting 50 motorcycles for noise and exhaust emission violations. Six motorcycles were issued compounds under the Environmental Quality (Motor Vehicle Noise) Regulations 1987 and Environmental Quality (Control of Emissions from Motorcycles) Regulations 2003, as they were found to contribute to air pollution and noise nuisance.
The operation, which involved the Tun H.S. Lee Traffic Police Station and the KL Road Transport Department (RTD), aims to ensure riders comply with existing regulations and laws, ultimately safeguarding environmental sustainability and contributing to better air quality for public well-being. Throughout the year, the KL DOE has carried out 50 enforcement operations, issuing 235 compounds to motorcycle owners found in violation.
