JISA Special Op To Audit 500 Bus And Lorry Operators Starting Monday
Its director-general, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, said the operation was carried out in line with the directive from the Transport Minister Anthony Loke to investigate PSV and GCV operators to ensure compliance with the audit process stipulated under the Land Public Transport Act (APAD).
He said the main focus of the operation is to assess the company's compliance level with safety aspects, vehicle maintenance, driver management, and compliance records under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and related regulations.
"The enforcement of the JISA Special Op involves the implementation of Safety Inspection and Audit Reports that focus on compliance with the Industrial Code of Practice (ICOP) regarding safety in the transportation industry.
"Additionally, there will be the review and resolution of outstanding issues for vehicle owners and drivers, as well as compliance with the Vehicle Technical Plan," he said at a press conference after officiating the Penang-level MyLesen B2 Driving Licence Programme 2025 presentation ceremony here today.
Aedy Fadly emphasised that the action was taken following the recent frequent accidents involving heavy vehicles, including the bus crash that claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students on June 9.
Commenting further, he said his team had also identified the list of involved companies obtained from the APAD and JPJ list through a review of outstanding summonses.
"Based on statistics, the JPJ has identified a category of high-risk operators, which includes 300 lorries, 100 tour buses and 100 express buses," he also said.
He added that strict action will be taken against any operator found to be violating regulations or neglecting safety aspects, including issuing notices of violation, suspension, or cancellation of vocational driving licenses (PSV/GDL) or company operator licences.

SEREMBAN: The Negeri Sembilan Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has uncovered 369 violations since January 1, resulting in compounds totalling RM91,700. State chief enforcement officer Faizah Othman confirmed that 249 offences fell under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, while 120 cases were linked to the Weights and Measures Act 1972. In a recent operation targeting durian traders, 41 premises were inspected, with 12 traders fined RM2,500 collectively. 'These traders failed to display price tags and used expired weighing equipment,' Faizah said. Over 30 enforcement officers from KPDN branches in Port Dickson and Kuala Pilah participated in the inspections. Faizah reminded traders, particularly durian sellers, to ensure their weighing scales bear valid verification stickers. Non-compliance could lead to penalties under the Weights and Measures Act 1972. 'The durian season runs until August. All traders, including seasonal sellers, must adhere to regulations to protect consumer rights,' she added. - Bernama

SHAH ALAM: Police have revealed that British teenager David Balisong, 17, sent a final email to his family urging them not to search for him before he went missing in Malaysia. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that the message was sent to his mother on July 9, marking the last known communication. 'In the email, he reassured his family not to worry or try to find him. He also wished them success and apologised for what he was about to do,' Hussein said during a press conference. Authorities confirmed that Balisong gave no indication of his plans to return. Investigators have recorded statements from six individuals, including the teen's mother, a bus driver, ticket counter staff, a currency exchange worker, and police personnel. CCTV footage last captured Balisong at KL Sentral's lobby around 10.09 am on June 7. 'There is no record of him having left the country, and search efforts are still ongoing,' Hussein added. Balisong, a high-achieving student from Cheadle, Greater Manchester, reportedly left home early on June 6, telling his brother he had school matters to attend to. Instead, he boarded a flight alone from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur. His phone has since been switched off, with no further responses to emails. - Bernama
