Settle summonses or face enforcement, RTD warns commercial operators
KOTA BARU: The Road Transport Department (RTD) says it will act against express buses and commercial goods vehicles that fail to settle outstanding summonses within the 14-day deadline. RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the deadline will end on July 8, after which enforcement will follow. He said the vehicles will be blacklisted and barred from the roads if payment is not made before the deadline. "We guarantee that by midnight on the final day, RTD officers will be on the roads to act against the vehicles found to have unsettled summonses. We are fully prepared for this. "Since the announcement by Transport Minister Anthony Loke last Friday, company operators have been rushing to pay their summonses. "If any company feels the number of summonses issued does not match their records, they are welcome to visit the nearest RTD office for verification. "They may even find that they have more summonses upon further checks," he said. He was speaking at a press conference after attending the RTD's Setia Assembly here today. Also present was RTD senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan.

Container transport industry does not use fake GPS, says group
PETALING JAYA: The issue of dummy Global Positioning System (GPS) used in heavy commercial vehicles does not affect the container haulage sector, says the Association of Malaysian Hauliers. Its secretary Mohamad Azuan Masud said this was because container hauliers operate in a highly-regulated and system-integrated environment. 'To gain access to port terminals, prime movers must have functioning GPS devices that are linked to the port terminal systems. 'This makes it virtually impossible for hauliers to operate without an active GPS,' he said when contacted. Mohamad Azuan said container hauliers are among the most technologically advanced in Malaysia's commercial logistics industry. 'We have long adopted best practices in the region, including GPS tracking, driver behaviour monitoring systems and soon, the advanced driver-assistance system to improve operational efficiency and safety. 'We are working closely with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) to ensure smoother and safer adoption of these technologies,' he said. Mohamad Azuan urged the Works Ministry and the Public Works Department to increase scheduled road maintenance near port areas where heavy cargo traffic is concentrated. 'As cargo volumes are projected to increase, revisiting the Weight Restriction Order alongside road infrastructure upgrades will be necessary to ensure safety and long-term sustainability,' he added. Mohamad Azuan said the association would fully support measures by the Transport Ministry to enhance safety standards and reduce accidents involving commercial vehicles. 'We are committed to playing our part as responsible industry players,' he said. Pan Malaysian Bus Operators Association president Datuk Ashfar Ali said all buses under them are installed with serviceable GPS devices and that their movements are constantly monitored by Apad. 'There is no question of our buses operating without a GPS or having a ghost GPS installed to deceive the authorities. 'Even when a bus breaks down and is expected not to be in use for an extended period, we would have to notify Apad. 'Hence, it is not possible to operate without the device,' he said. Ashfar said there are buses of various roles, but only express and stage buses come under the purview of the association.

64% of commercial vehicle operators fail safety audit, says JPJ
JPJ director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said some companies had no safety action plans in place and did not display hotline numbers or the names of responsible officers on their vehicles for public complaints. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The road transport department (JPJ) found that 64% of commercial vehicle operators failed an audit on mandatory safety requirements, in a recent nationwide operation. Its director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said the operation, which began on June 23, saw audits carried out on 133 companies operating commercial vehicles, Bernama reported. He said only 48 companies passed the audit while the other 85 failed as they did not comply with JPJ Inspection and Safety Audit (Jisa) guidelines. 'The non-compliant companies comprised 43 lorry operators and 42 tour and express bus operators,' he was quoted as saying. Among the key violations were the failure to appoint occupational safety and health officers (OSHO), lack of GPS installation in all vehicles and poor GPS monitoring practices. Many companies also failed to record drivers' working hours, which must not exceed eight hours a day, and to ensure that drivers take a break of at least 30 minutes for every four hours of driving. Aedy said some companies had no safety action plans in place and did not display hotline numbers or the names of responsible officers on their vehicles for public complaints. 'The department will submit the list of non-compliant companies to the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) for further action, including recommendations for possible suspension or cancellation of operating licences,' he said.
