According to JPJ’s official statement, the individuals were identified as Rohingya nationals who were driving without valid licences. Furthermore, they were operating vehicles with expired Motor Vehicle Licences (LKM), commonly known as road tax, and without valid insurance coverage.
The Kedah JPJ’s Motorcycle Enforcement Unit, known as the Falcon squad, subsequently seized both motorcycles. The vehicles were taken to the Kedah JPJ depot for further action under the relevant laws.
“During the operation, Kedah Falcon officers successfully detected and stopped two foreign drivers of Rohingya ethnicity who committed multiple traffic offences,” the department stated.
