Ops Samseng Jalanan: 11 motorcycles seized, 65 summonses in Petra Jaya
KUCHING (July 21): A total of 11 motorcycles were seized and 65 summonses issued during the 'Ops Samseng Jalanan' integrated operation conducted last Saturday at Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakob, Jalan Astana, and Masja in Petra Jaya.
Kuching district police chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu said the operation aimed to crackdown on road bullies and ensure compliance with traffic laws and regulations.
'During the operation, 11 motorcycles were seized under Section 60 of the Road Transport Act 1987, as they were found to have been modified from their original structure and will undergo further inspection,' he said in a statement today.
He added that Department of Environment (DOE) enforcement officers also inspected motorcycles emitting noise levels exceeding the permitted threshold, resulting in six riders being fined by the department.
Alexson warned that such operations will continue, reminding road users to obey the law, refrain from engaging in street gangsterism, and refrain from illegally modifying their vehicles.
He emphasised that careless driving or riding can poses a danger to other road users and could endanger one's own life. Alexson Naga Jabu lead Ops Sameng Jalanan petra jaya

DOE intensifies patrols and drone surveillance to combat haze in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: The Department of Environment (DOE) has ramped up efforts to tackle haze by deploying extensive ground patrols and drone surveillance. Since the start of the year, authorities have carried out 4,184 inspections on the ground and 645 aerial checks to detect open burning activities. DOE director-general Datuk Wan Abdul Latiff Wan Jaffar stated that enforcement actions have been strict, with 58 notices issued, 27 court cases filed, and 59 compounds imposed on violators. 'We are intensifying daily patrols in high-risk areas while closely monitoring Air Pollutant Index (API) levels,' he said. The National Open Burning Action Plan and National Haze Action Plan have been activated to coordinate government efforts in managing haze. Landowners are urged to monitor fire-prone zones such as landfills, forests, and plantations to prevent trespassing and illegal burning. As of 3 pm today, API readings showed good air quality in five areas, moderate levels in 61, and unhealthy conditions in Kuching, Sarawak, and Johan Setia, Selangor. The haze in these regions is attributed to transboundary pollution rather than local fires. API readings classify air quality from good (0-50) to hazardous (above 300). Authorities continue to urge public cooperation in preventing open burning to safeguard air quality. - Bernama

Trailer stops on Second Link due to tyre puncture before being rear-ended
JOHOR BARU: A trailer carrying chemicals plunged into the sea after it was rear-ended while parked on the Second Link bridge due to a tyre puncture. Iskandar Puteri police chief, Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan, said both drivers involved in the crash at Km0.8 of the Plus highway's Second Link northbound stretch sustained minor injuries. "Preliminary investigations revealed that a trailer carrying an ISO tank had stopped on the left lane of the bridge due to a punctured tyre. "Another trailer travelling behind it collided into the rear right side of the stationary vehicle, causing it to swerve and the ISO tank it was transporting to fall into the sea. "Both drivers suffered minor injuries," he said in a statement today. The case is being investigated under Section 43 of the Road Transport Act 1987. Kumarasan urged anyone with information on the incident to contact the Iskandar Puteri Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPTD) at 07-5101322. Earlier today, it was reported that a chemical container had fallen into the sea following a crash involving two trailers on the bridge. One trailer was transporting propylene glycol, while the other carried sodium hypochlorite. The ISO tank containing propylene glycol plunged into the sea. However, authorities confirmed that there was no leakage from the tank, and no surface foam, oil slicks or bubbles were observed. The Johor Fire and Rescue Department's hazardous materials (Hazmat) unit was deployed to the scene as a precautionary measure to monitor for any signs of contamination.
