56 Notices Issued During Kelantan Timber Lorry Operation

A total of 56 notices were issued for various offences during a special timber lorry operation conducted by the Kelantan Road Transport Department (JPJ). The operation involved JPJ vehicles escorting timber-laden lorries to ensure compliance and safety.
Operation Details and Purpose

The operation saw 30 timber lorries stopped and inspected in front of the Gua Musang district police headquarters. These vehicles were then escorted by JPJ official vehicles to the Mentara enforcement station in Gua Musang for weighing. This escort procedure is a standard operating procedure designed to prevent drivers from evading JPJ control and to guide them directly to the weigh-in station.
Safety and Accident Risk Reduction

JPJ stated that the escort was implemented to ensure the safety of other motorists on the road. By controlling the movement of the timber lorries, the department aimed to reduce the risk of accidents, particularly given the nature of the cargo. The procedure ensures that the lorries proceed directly to the designated enforcement station for weighing without deviation.
Response to Public Perception

The department addressed negative perceptions that arose from a viral video, including insinuations that JPJ was "protecting" the lorries. JPJ views such claims seriously, as they tarnish the department's reputation and stem from a misunderstanding of its operational procedures. JPJ indicated it would consider lodging a police report if accusations continued to affect its credibility and image while conducting routine duties.
