"Enforcement teams will patrol these routes to enhance monitoring and reinforce the Perception of Being Caught (POBC). The presence of enforcement officers encourages motorists to be more cautious and comply with traffic regulations, ultimately making the roads safer,” Hanif told Bernama earlier today.

He adds that the number of patrol teams per shift will be increased to raise awareness among motorists, promote responsible driving, and reduce accidents. Additionally, JPJ will also deploy covert enforcement teams to monitor and record traffic violations, as well as undercover officers posing as bus passengers to identify drivers who fail to comply with regulations.

Up to 210 enforcement personnel have been tasked to execute the operation detailed by Hanif.

"This approach serves to remind all motorists that they are constantly being monitored and will face action if they commit traffic offences,” argues Hanif further before adding that up to 210 enforcement personnel have been tasked to execute the operation.

The state JPJ director also urged motorists to drive cautiously and responsibly to ensure their safety and that of others, especially with the expected increase in traffic during the festive season. "Motorists should ensure that their driving licence and vehicle registration documents are valid. Proper trip planning is essential for a safe and smooth journey,” he added.
