JPJ books 1,392 heavy lorries under Op Paras
Selangor JPJ director Azrin Borhan inspecting the weight of an overloaded lorry at the South Klang Valley Expressway in Kuala Langat today. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The Selangor road transport department (JPJ) has taken action against 1,392 lorries, mostly for overloading, as part of its Op Paras launched on May 1. Selangor JPJ director Azrin Borhan told Bernama 724 lorries had loads exceeding the permitted limit, 645 were carrying goods 'dangerously', and 23 had loads exceeding 70% of the permitted weight. Azrin said many drivers cited the desire to earn commission or profit as a reason for carrying loads beyond the allowed limit. The overloaded lorries were transporting stones, sand, soil and palm oil waste, he told a press conference held today at the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE). He said Op Paras was launched to curb the rising number of accidents caused by heavy vehicles. On 'tontos' (informants), who monitor JPJ operations to tip off lorry owners of impending enforcement action, Azrin said no critical threats had been received, either verbally or in writing. He said JPJ would continue conducting periodic operations, using various methods to avoid detection by tontos, including dressing in plain clothes and using unmarked vehicles to inspect commercial vehicles.
