Ferraris, Lambos Among 1,000 Untaxed Vehicles - JPJ

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has identified more than 1,000 luxury vehicles including Ferraris and Lamborghinis that have gone without valid road tax and insurance for an extended period.

These high-end cars, often owned by celebrities and prominent business figures, are typically used only on weekends or for special occasions. But that, according to JPJ senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan, does not exempt them from the law.

“It does not matter how rarely the car is used. If it’s on the road, it must be properly taxed and insured,” he said.
As part of its ongoing enforcement drive under Op Luxury, the department is closely monitoring traffic using both marked and unmarked vehicles. Officers will not hesitate to seize any vehicle caught driving illegally.

Between July 30 and August 1, a total of 53 luxury cars were impounded. Among them was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth RM3 million, along with a Lamborghini Huracan and an Aston Martin DBX. 

In an earlier phase of the operation in June, another 101 vehicles were seized, including a Porsche believed to belong to a local actress.

Kifli said many vehicle owners wrongly assume that their cars do not need valid documents if they are driven only occasionally. 
“That assumption is false and against the law. We know who the owners are. If the cars appear on public roads, we will act immediately,” he added. 

JPJ is also calling on the public to report similar violations. Complaints can be submitted through the MyJPJ app or by emailing the department directly ([email protected]) with complete details.
