KUALA TERENGGANU, July 4 — Only an express bus driver and three express bus passengers have been issued summonses for not wearing seat belts in Terengganu under a special operation by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) nationwide since July 1. Terengganu JPJ director Zamri Samion said a total of 85 express and tour buses were inspected during the period following the enforcement of the new directive, which makes compulsory the wearing of seat belts by drivers and passengers of express and tour buses. 'We found the level of compliance was very good, where only four summonses were issued, to a bus driver and three express bus passengers,' he said during the operation in Chendering near here, last night. To further increase awareness and compliance, Zamri said the department would hold a meeting with express bus and tour bus operators next week for more intensive advocacy purposes. 'JPJ will not compromise on any safety-related issues, and strict action will be taken against those who fail to comply with regulations and laws,' he said. According to him, any complaints related to the issue of wearing seat belts can be made via the MyJPJ application or by email to [email protected]. — Bernama

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued 746 summonses for various offences over the first two days of the Special Hari Raya Aidiladha Operation (Ops HRAA) 2025, which runs from June 4 to 10. Its director, Zamri Samion, said the summonses were issued following inspections of 6,006 vehicles, including lorries, buses, motorcycles, cars and other private vehicles. He said the most common offences involved motorcyclists not wearing helmets and failing to stop at red lights. 'Other offences included registration numbers not complying with specifications, tyre issues and illegal vehicle modifications. 'In the first two days of operation, we also seized 25 vehicles, including a lorry with serious technical issues involving its tyres, lack of insurance and expired road tax,' he said during Ops HRAA 2025 at the Sultan Mahmud Bridge here last night. Zamri said 110 JPJ enforcement personnel in Terengganu were involved in Ops HRAA this time, with a focus on seven major offences that contribute to accidents. These offences are speeding, running red lights, overtaking on double lines, driving on the emergency lane, reckless overtaking or blocking others from overtaking, queue-jumping, and using mobile phones while driving. 'We are also targeting a 25 per cent reduction in accident rates and a 10 per cent drop in fatalities during this operation,' he added.
