A TOTAL of 6,684 advocacy notices were issued in the capital yesterday as part of Ops Patuh Undang-Undang (Ops PUU), a city-wide operation focused on promoting traffic law compliance, particularly among motorcyclists and vehicle drivers.

Kuala Lumpur Police Chief, Datuk Fadil Marsus, said the operation targeted 6,350 road users and 334 pedestrians, issuing advisory notices rather than immediate fines in a bid to raise awareness about common traffic offences.

“Of the total notices, 3,132 were issued to motorcyclists, 2,813 to car drivers, 120 to van drivers, 103 to lorry drivers, and 182 to taxi drivers,” he said in a statement today.

The notices were issued under two main enforcement exercises: 6,284 during daily operations and another 400 under the educational component known as ‘Ops Didik’.

The most common offences included obstructing traffic (3,134 notices), failing to obey traffic signals (494), stopping within yellow boxes (380), using decorative or non-standard number plates (411), failing to wear seatbelts (328), and not wearing helmets (305).

An additional 1,632 notices were issued for various other infractions, such as missing side mirrors, expired or missing road tax, lack of student driver stickers (L or P plates), worn tyres, and exposed motorcycle chains.

Datuk Fadil confirmed that the operation was conducted by officers from the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT), stressing the importance of advocacy in promoting long-term road safety behaviour. - September 16, 2025
