The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has identified <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/jpj-rm3-million-rolls-royce-among-53-vehicles-seized" target="_blank" style="">more than 1,000 luxury vehicles including Ferraris and Lamborghinis that have gone without valid road tax and insurance for an extended period.</a><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">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.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“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.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/ops-luxury-jpj-seizes-101-luxury-vehicles" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> Officers will not hesitate to seize any vehicle caught driving illegally.</a><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Between July 30 and August 1, a total of 53 luxury cars were impounded.

“That assumption is false and against the law. We know who the owners are.

Complaints can be submitted through the MyJPJ app or by emailing the department directly (aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my) with complete details.

JPJ flags over 1,000 luxury cars, including Ferraris and Lambos, for missing road tax and insurance.

Shuttle buses were sent in to keep things moving, and by 11:01am, the Aerotrain was back on track.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">But for many, the disruption felt like deja vu.“Broken again?” user @afiqmukhtar posted at 10:52am, tagging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook. “Millions spent on upgrades and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/klia-aerotrain-stalls-after-downpour-causes-drainage-pump-malfunction" target="_blank" style="">it still can’t handle full passenger loads.”</a>

This isn’t the first time the upgraded RM456 million train system has come under fire. Since resuming operations after a 28-month suspension, it has faced multiple interruptions, drawing backlash from commuters and public figures alike.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">MCA Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung didn’t mince words, urging the transport ministry to form a dedicated task force to uncover what’s really going on. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“It’s disappointing and unacceptable,” she said, pointing to repeated issues in just one month.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Earlier reports highlighted similar problems, including jammed doors to unexpected shutdowns. On July 4, a blogger noted the trains weren’t running again, with passengers rerouted via buses. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">MAHB later explained that a faulty drainage pump during heavy rain had caused flooding, triggering the train’s safety shutdown system.

Transport Minister Loke responded, clarifying that the rain-related glitch had nothing to do with the new train itself. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“It was a failure in the airport’s older infrastructure. Once water levels rose beyond the safety limit, the system did exactly what it was designed to do, which is stop,” he said.Still, for passengers, the growing list of excuses is wearing thin. With trust in the system running low, many are asking the same question. Was the Aerotrain truly ready to return?

KLIA’s Aerotrain stalled for 15 minutes due to a door glitch, prompting an apology and public frustration.

This, he said, will ensure that aid is channelled only to those who truly qualify while reducing leakages and errors.The use of centralised, updated data is part of the government’s wider effort to enhance service delivery and policy targeting. According to the minister, PADU’s capabilities also allow for the development of tailored intervention programmes to better serve specific demographic groups. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18814/15807486/conversions/PADU-(20)-full_normal-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15807486" alt="PADU-(20)-full_normal.jpg"> To date, 204 government agencies are actively contributing data to PADU.
