KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (RTD) will suspend the licences of commercial vehicle drivers involved in crashes until investigations are completed, its director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said. Should the holder of a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licence or Goods Driving Licence (GDL) be found guilty after the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) investigation, their licences will be terminated.

'The refresher course will be organised by the RTD at locations to be determined later and drivers will be charged fees to cover the cost of the course,' he told reporters after a licence presentation here today. He shared that five commercial vehicle drivers have been suspended, including those involved in the fatal PDRM Federal Reserve Unit lorry crash in Teluk Intan and the bus that hit a height restriction barrier in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan yesterday. In other developments, Aedy Fadli said the RTD has issued 510 compound notices to express buses, tour buses and goods vehicles since the enforcement of wearing safety belts came into effect in stages from July 1 and that 80 of the notices were issued to drivers and 396 to passengers and attendants. He also reminded express bus drivers that they will be issued compounds should their passengers be found not to be wearing safety belts and it was their responsibility to remind passengers before their vehicles moved out. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
