KUCHING, April 24: The Sarawak Road Transport Department (JPJ) is undergoing internal inspections of its personnel’s vehicles to ensure they comply with regulations regarding tinted windows and vehicle registration numbers.
According to a report by Bernama, State JPJ deputy director Nor Azlan Ibrahim said the initiative aims to set a good example for the public in adhering to road safety regulations.
“We want our officers and staff to serve as role models for the public. Therefore, all their vehicles must comply with the regulations under the Road Transport Act 1987 and the Road Transport Rules,” he said in a statement.
He noted that internal checks have been implemented since last year. Any personnel’s vehicle found to be non-compliant will be issued a notice for investigation, and if the issues are not addressed, a summons may be issued.
“This action serves as an initial reminder. If they are still non-compliant, we will proceed with stricter action without further warning,” he added.
Nor Azlan also advised Sarawak road users and vehicle owners to visit the nearest JPJ branch for information about legally allowed vehicle modifications.
He urged the public to comply with road rules, including safety standards and vehicle modifications, to ensure Sarawak’s road environment remains safe and conducive.
Meanwhile, Nor Azlan took part in the JPJ Director’s Operation No. 5/2025 held at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman here alongside JPJ Sarawak head of Operations Section Saifullah Ali. – DayakDaily
