The police seized 11 motorcycles ridden by foreigners without licenses during an operation in Tasik Permai, Ampang.
The Ampang Jaya Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPT) stated that the operation was conducted following public complaints.
“Inspections revealed that most of the motorcycle riders and drivers committed the offense of not possessing a valid license.
“Moreover, some were not even wearing helmets while riding, which clearly violates traffic laws,” the department said in a Facebook post.
It was reported that all 11 seized vehicles were ridden by foreign nationals who did not have driving licenses.
The authorities issued summonses to the involved foreigners, while the motorcycles were confiscated under Section 64(1) of the Road Transport Act (APJ) 1987 and taken to the Ampang Traffic Police Station.
The police stated that they will summon the registered owners of the vehicles for the motorcycle claim process, and they will also be fined for allowing unlicensed individuals to ride their motorcycles.
