6 cases of illegal racing detected in KL operation

Kuala Lumpur witnessed an overnight enforcement operation targeting illegal racing and dangerous riding, resulting in six cases detected. The Kuala Lumpur Road Transport Department, in collaboration with Putrajaya headquarters, conducted the seven-hour operation from 10pm to 5am, involving 37 personnel. Nine motorcycles were seized during the operation, which covered key thoroughfares like Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan Ampang, and the city center.

Thirty-five vehicles were inspected, and enforcement actions were taken against 11. Forty-seven notices were issued for violations such as driving without a valid license, expired licenses, and technical issues. New Section 42A of the Road Transport Act imposes heavier penalties for repeat offenders, emphasizing that public roads are not designated for illegal racing.
