High-Performance Vehicles Allegedly Used in RM3.1 Million Road Tax Evasion Scam

Seven Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) staff are under remand in connection with an alleged scam involving high-performance and luxury vehicles, which resulted in an estimated RM3.1 million in road tax evasion. The operation, which spanned six months in 2019, is believed to have involved over 1,000 vehicles.
Abuse of JPJ's MySikap System

The JPJ staff, aged between 27 and 42, are suspected of exploiting the department's MySikap system. This alleged abuse allowed for the issuance of road tax for numerous high-performance and luxury cars without proper payment being made to the department. The investigation suggests that the road tax stickers issued in these cases displayed a zero amount (RM00.00).
Involvement of Third-Party Runners

Initial findings indicate the potential involvement of third-party "runners" in facilitating the scam. These individuals may have played a role in the process of issuing the fraudulent road tax stickers. This suggests a coordinated effort between internal JPJ personnel and external parties to circumvent the standard road tax collection procedures.
Investigation into Vehicle Ownership

Authorities are also scrutinising the ownership of the vehicles implicated in the scheme. Reports suggest that some of these high-performance and luxury cars are registered to high-profile individuals. This aspect of the investigation aims to uncover the full scope of the beneficiaries of the alleged road tax evasion.
Significant Financial Leakage

The alleged misappropriation of road tax payments between July and December 2019 is estimated to have caused a financial leakage of RM3.1 million from Johor JPJ's collections. This figure represents the total value of road tax that was purportedly evaded through the manipulation of the system for over 1,000 vehicles.
