4,600 JPJ personnel to monitor deadly stretches during Aidilfitri

A total of 4,600 Road Transport Department (JPJ) personnel will monitor 202 deadly stretches nationwide during the Aidilfitri festive season.

The two-week operation, which will be conducted round the clock, will start one week before Aidiltri, said JPJ director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan.

He said JPJ personnel would also be deployed at 36 bus terminals nationwide to check the condition and log books of express buses while the police would conduct urine tests on drivers.

“The JPJ will flush out touts from bus terminals while taxi drivers will be pulled up if they charge exorbitant fares or refuse to use meters,” he told reporters at the close of the One Community One JPJ Programme at Kampung Sungai Berua Orang Asli Village here today.

He said JPJ control rooms in all states and the headquarters would operate round the clock during the operation.

Complaints against errant drivers can be made at JPJ counters at bus terminals, control rooms in all states or the headquarters, or via e-mail at aduan@jpj.gov.my.

Thirty-six Orang Asli residents from Kampung Sungai Berua received class B2 driving licence at the ceremony which was officiated by Terengganu Youth and Sports Committee chairman Rozi Mamat, who represented Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said
