SHAH ALAM, Sept 29 — Police will stop issuing warnings for traffic offences in Kuala Lumpur beginning October 1, with strict enforcement to follow under Ops Pematuhan Undang-Undang (Ops PUU), reportsThe Star.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said the operation, which began on September 6 with an awareness phase, had already seen 60,596 warning notices issued.
“Starting October 1, we will not issue any more warnings. Instead, we will take stern and prompt enforcement action against traffic offenders,” he said when contacted by the English daily.
Most of the offences involved traffic obstruction and failure to comply with road signage.
Other violations included not using pedestrian walkways, displaying illegal number plates, not wearing helmets or seatbelts, stopping in yellow boxes, and modifying motorcycles.
Ops PUU, led by the city’s police Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department, is focusing on high-traffic areas such as Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Jalan P Ramlee, and Jalan Tun Razak.
Fadil said the initiative aims to instil long-term road safety awareness, ease congestion, and prevent crime.
