Batu Kawa vehicle checks: JPJ seizes eight after inspecting 759
-
Sarawak's Road Transport Department seized eight vehicles for further investigation after checking 759 along two Batu Kawa routes on October 14.
JPJ said the operations covered Jalan MJC–Batu Kawa and Jalan Batu Kawa–Kuching under Ops HID/LED, Ops Luxury and Ops Pemandu Warga Asing. Its account was reported on October 16.
The seized vehicles included a luxury vehicle with expired road tax and insurance, a pickup driven without a licence, and a car and five motorcycles with extreme modifications. Detected offences across the operations also included expired driving licences, seat-belt violations, non-compliant plates, HID/LED use and technical vehicle offences.
For drivers on these commuter routes, the department's account points to several separate compliance checks: valid road tax does not replace valid insurance or a driving licence, while lighting, plates and modifications carry their own requirements. The 759 figure is the number inspected, not the number found in breach; the eight seizures remain subject to investigation. The operations took place on October 14, rather than being a live roadblock notice.
