MOTORCYCLISTS have emerged as the largest group of traffic offenders during the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department’s (JSPT) *Operasi Patuh Undang-Undang* (Ops PUU), which began earlier this week.
Between Tuesday and Saturday, a total of 42,288 advocacy notices were issued across the capital, with 19,672 directed at motorcyclists, according to Kuala Lumpur Deputy Police Chief Datuk Mohamed Usuf Jan Mohamad.
“Car drivers received 18,058 notices, followed by pedestrians with 2,206. Van drivers were issued 821, lorry drivers 576, and taxi drivers 955,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
The most common offence detected was traffic obstruction, accounting for 18,169 notices.
Other infractions included failure to obey traffic signals (9,897), stopping within yellow boxes (2,328), dirty, illegible or non-compliant (‘fancy’) number plates (1,843), failure to wear seat belts (259), and failure to wear helmets (1,633).
Datuk Mohamed Usuf emphasised that the campaign would continue in phases, serving as both a preventive and educational measure.
“Kuala Lumpur police will intensify the implementation of Ops PUU to educate and raise awareness among road users. The operation will be conducted periodically to ensure optimal compliance with traffic laws in the capital,” he said.
The advocacy campaign began on 6 September, focusing on key roads within the city centre. It is designed to prepare road users for full-scale enforcement by educating them on the importance of adhering to traffic regulations. - September 21, 2025
