The Road Transport Department (JPJ) in Malaysia is actively investigating illegal motorcycle ride operators who are providing transport services to the Formula One (F1) Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC). These operators have been advertising their services on social media platforms, charging between RM10 and RM80 for rides between various locations, including Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA2) and the circuit.
