  "summary": "The Road Transport Department (RTD) in Selangor conducted a two-hour enforcement operation, seizing 14 vehicles, including 13 motorcycles and a three-wheeled motorcycle. The riders, who were Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and Cambodian nationals, were found committing several traffic violations such as driving without a valid licence, having expired motor vehicle licences, and lacking insurance coverage. Each rider was found to have committed between four and five offences. The operation, named Ops Pewa, was part of a statewide crackdown on foreign nationals driving or riding vehicles in Selangor. Some riders tried to delay enforcement by pretending to need to use the restroom. The seized vehicles will be taken to the Selangor RTD enforcement office in Shah Alam for further action. The department will continue monitoring complaints and enforcing traffic laws, accepting public complaints through its e-aduan platform or traffic complaints email.",
