Kuala Lumpur, 17th September 2023 - Motorists in Kuala Lumpur (KL) beware! The KL cops are coming down hard on traffic offenders in a large-scale operation citywide that began on Friday and will go on until the end of this month.
“This is the second phase of the operation. The first one was conducted in July,” ACP Sarifudin Mohd Salleh told The Star yesterday.
“Based on the success of the first operation, we hope this second phase will be able to create more awareness of the importance of obeying traffic laws,” he added.
The KL Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief said a total of 4,719 summonses were issued on the first day of the operation.
"Among the highest number of offences are traffic obstruction or illegal parking with 3,712 summonses, followed by stopping vehicles on pedestrian walkways and white lines (247), and driving/riding without a driving licence (108).
"Another 30 summonses were issued by the Road Transport Department,” he said.
ACP Sarifudin said the main objective of the operation was to ensure the safety of all road users.
“The latest operation will be conducted for two weeks, and we feel that it will have a positive impact. It is never our intention to inconvenience road users.
“The operation is designed to ensure that all traffic laws are adhered to and not disregarded,” he said.
