Minister Loke Siew Fook said the “name and shame” policy was among several enforcement measures being implemented by the ministry, the road transport department (JPJ) and the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad).
He said that as of Oct 8, in the bus operator category, GIG Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd recorded the highest number of outstanding summonses at 271, followed by Cepat Ekspres Sdn Bhd (198), AC Interstate Coach (M) Sdn Bhd (185), and Juara Roda Express Sdn Bhd (45).
Bus operator Express Senibudaya (M) Sdn Bhd had 39 outstanding summonses, while Pancaran Matahari (M) Sdn Bhd and Syarikat Pengangkutan Azra Sdn Bhd had 35 each. Kenderaan Bas Mara, TMKL Express & Tours Sdn Bhd, and Zenwan (M) Sdn Bhd each had 33.
In the lorry operator category, SPT Power Transport Services topped the list with 114 active notices, followed by Tiong Soon Trading & Transport Sdn Bhd (88), Visions Transport Enterprise Sdn Bhd (65), Tenaga Nasional Bhd (57), E2S Logistics Sdn Bhd (56), and Securiforce Sdn Bhd (53).
Other lorry operators included Chan Soon Transport & Trading Sdn Bhd with 47 outstanding summonses, GD Fit International (M) Sdn Bhd (46), Jimat Jaya Sdn Bhd (37), and SBS Teguh Impian (M) Sdn Bhd (37).
Loke was responding to Cha Kee Chin (PH–Rasah), who asked the ministry to name the 10 bus and lorry companies with the highest number of speeding summonses recorded since June 25.
Loke said other enforcement actions include enforcing the use of speed limiters and conducting year-round special operations focusing on high-risk transport companies, overloaded vehicles, and drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
“These measures also include the suspension and revocation of vehicle permits and operator licences for serious offences,” he added.
Last month, the minister said fewer than 3% of heavy vehicle operators had installed speed limiters in their vehicles despite the Oct 1 deadline for compliance with the new rule.
He said that fewer than 3,000 heavy vehicles had been verified as equipped with speed limiters, with many operators adopting a “wait-and-see” approach. - FMT
