JPJ warns those in dodgy vehicle transfers

However, checks found that the vehicles were sold to foreigners without proper ownership transfer,” he told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur JPJ headquarters yesterday. “As a result, the registered ­owners remain fully responsible and will also be subjected to enforcement action under existing laws,” Hamidi added. The foreign drivers came from various countries including Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Myanmar. “Several foreign drivers ­attempted to flee during the ­operation but were successfully detained and brought to Kuala Lumpur JPJ for further action,” he added. “The decline is likely due to ­sustained enforcement and ­cooperation with other agencies, but Kuala Lumpur JPJ will continue operations from time to time to address this issue,” he said.
