JPJ seizes 3,790 luxury vehicles worth RM550m in nationwide crackdown since June 2025

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) in Malaysia has seized 3,790 luxury vehicles worth an estimated RM550 million since June 2025, as part of their nationwide crackdown known as Ops Luxury. The seizures, which took place between June 2025 and September 26, 2025, included 785 vehicles between June and December 2025, and another 3,005 vehicles from January to September 26.

Negeri Sembilan recorded the highest number of seizures with 469 vehicles, followed by Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and Penang. JPJ senior director of enforcement Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan explained that some luxury vehicle owners were reluctant to renew their road tax due to previous offences, while lower-income groups were able to renew their road tax without issues.

The investigation found that about 20% of the luxury vehicle owners were cosmetic entrepreneurs, influencers, and businesspeople. JPJ aims to continue Ops Luxury to ensure all road users comply with the law, regardless of the price or type of vehicle or the status of its owner.
