LIMBANG (NOVEMBER 13, 2024): The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will be intensifying its enforcement operations throughout the state to crack down on errant motorcyclists and commercial vehicle drivers in an effort to reduce the worrying number of road fatalities.

Its state director Norizan Jili said the department will continuously hold operations and inspections to reduce the rate of fatal accidents and ensure compliance with road safety laws.

“JPJ does not compromise on road safety issues. We impose strict measures, including taking road offenders to court if they violate the laws and regulations,” he said during the JPJ Director’s Special Operation on the road near the Taman Tasik Bukit Mas Limbang overpass recently.

Also present is JPJ Limbang branch head Abang Aien Abang Bolhil.

Norizan also said JPJ will work closely with the police to identify road offenders and reduce the rate of fatal accidents in the state.

He urged motorcyclists to ride safely and use helmets with Sirim safety certification, while drivers of heavy vehicles must ensure that their brakes and other safety-related equipment are fully functional.

“It is important to ensure that all motorcyclists and other road users always comply with current regulations to help reduce the rate of road accidents,” he said.

Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah expressed concern last weekend over the rising number of fatal road accidents involving motorcycles, which make motorcyclists the most vulnerable group on the country’s roads.

According to the police, a total of 6,024 fatal road accidents were recorded in 2023, a 9.46 per cent increase from the 5,671 cases reported in 2022.  Motorcyclists accounted for the highest percentage of these fatalities, with 4,489 deaths.

In Sarawak, 378 road accidents cases involving motorcyclists and 198 fatal cases were reported last year.
