Melaka JPJ issues 153 summonses for seatbelt violations
Its director Siti Zarina Mohd Yusop said 135 summonses were issued to passengers, and 18 to drivers.
'The violations were detected through undercover officers and regular enforcement operations. The seatbelt rule has been mandatory for express and tourist buses since July 1,' she said after a special joint operation by Melaka JPJ and other agencies at Batu Berendam here last night.
She added that to raise awareness, JPJ has held engagement sessions with express and tour bus operators and provided promotional materials for display in buses.
Earlier, during the operation, a 33-year-old motorcyclist was fined for not having a licence and riding a Honda Wave motorcycle that was found to be unsafe.
The integrated operation, involving over 70 enforcement officers, checked 745 vehicles and issued penalties for 197 offences. - Bernama

JPJ warns against fake ‘kopi-O' driving licence scams
PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued a stern warning regarding fraudulent advertisements circulating online, which falsely claim to offer driving licences without the need for training or testing—commonly referred to as 'kopi-O licences'. A fake Facebook account under the name *Sekolah Memandu Jaya* has been promoting these unauthorised services, misleadingly stating that licences can be obtained without undergoing proper driving tests. The posts even included a photo of Transport Minister Anthony Loke, likely to deceive the public into believing the offers were legitimate. 'JPJ stresses that the advertisement and the account involved are fake,' the department clarified in an official statement. Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to such scams. JPJ emphasised that all driving licences must be obtained through proper channels, including mandatory training and testing procedures. To verify the authenticity of any driving licence-related information, the public is advised to contact JPJ directly or submit complaints through the official JPJ Complaint Portal at - Bernama
