JPJ Officers Attacked With Firecrackers by Motorcyclists, Police Report to Be Filed

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will lodge a police report following the reckless actions of a group of motorcyclists who threw firecrackers at its officers while they were conducting a Chinese New Year Operation patrol in the area.

Selangor JPJ Director, Azrin Borhan, said the department views the act seriously as it endangers enforcement personnel as well as other road users.

“I have instructed the officers involved to lodge a police report regarding the incident,” he said when contacted by Sinar Harian on Sunday (22 February).

Azrin said JPJ will continue to carry out focused operations to ensure compliance with road laws, particularly offences involving riding without a licence, lack of insurance, and failure to wear helmets.

He also urged the public, especially motorcyclists, to respect enforcement officers and obey road safety regulations to avoid unnecessary risks and legal action.
