Police To Launch Major Operation on Traffic Offenders in Two Weeks, 1.59 million warrant of arrest issued!

Cops to begin crackdown on offenders after two-week grace period

     
    KUALA LUMPUR: Motorists who have warrants of arrest for outstanding traffic summonses will have a little over two weeks to settle them before police kick into high gear.

    Bukit Aman traffic chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Mohd Fuad Abdul Latiff warned those involved to act immediately or face the consequences.
    “From Monday, these traffic offenders will only have two weeks to settle,” he said at Bukit Aman yesterday.
    “We will launch a major operations after the grace period is over," he said.
    Road blocks and door-to-door visits would be conducted, SACP Mohd Fuad added.
    “We have compiled the lists of offenders. Each traffic chief has been issued a list of all the offenders,” he said, adding that those who had difficulty settling their summonses could visit their local traffic chief or meet him at Bukit Aman to discuss the best way to settle their summonses.
    He said the offenders should not prolong the matter.
    “We are going after all 1.59 million warrants of arrest this time around,” SACP Mohd Fuad said.
    “Go to the nearest traffic police station and check on your summons status,” he said, adding that they would also look at keeping the counters open for longer periods if the feedback was good.
    SACP Mohd Fuad said the top five states with the highest number of outstanding warrants of arrest were Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perak and Negri Sembilan.
    “The states with the lowest number are Labuan, Sarawak and Perlis,” he said, adding that some of the offenders being targeted had warrants of arrest issued in 1990.
    He said during the crackdown, police personnel would be wearing their uniforms during the door-to-door visits.
    Meanwhile, on a separate matter, SACP Mohd Fuad said police would be visiting schools during the latest phase of Ops Roda.
    “Our aim is to stop offenders from riding or driving to school without a valid licence,” he said.
    “Parents who send their children to school should also make sure they have a valid licence, wear a helmet and ensure that the motorcycle has not been modified,” he said.
