The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has seized 38 luxury cars in Penang for being driven without valid road tax and insurance.

State JPJ director Zulkifly Ismail said the crackdown, which began in June, targeted owners across the state, including businesspeople and VIPs with “Datuk” titles.

Speaking at a press conference at JPJ Seberang Jaya on Thursday (Aug 21), he stressed that driving without valid documents not only causes government revenue losses but also endangers other road users, as accidents involving uninsured vehicles can lead to serious financial and safety consequences.
