By Malay Mail Wednesday, 20 May 2026 2:06 PM MYT GOMBAK, May 20 — The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has detected truck operators using special stickers believed to be intended to help their vehicles evade enforcement detection during operations in the Klang Valley. Sinar Harian reported JPJ Senior Enforcement Director Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan as saying that trucking companies are believed to have paid individuals or groups known as ‘tonto’ to monitor and relay the movements of enforcement teams.“The group would tail JPJ officers once they go out for operations before relaying real-time location information to lorries carrying specific stickers,” he said at a press conference here today. He said the ‘tonto’ groups use communication devices to track enforcement officers, allowing the trucks involved to temporarily lie low until operations end before resuming their journeys.“These lorries were also found to be using back roads to avoid detection and enforcement action,” he was quoted as saying. Muhammad Kifli issued a stern warning to truck operators against employing or engaging ‘tonto’ groups to shield their vehicles.He said information on such activities would be handed over to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for further action, including potential joint operations.He added that JPJ will continue special operations on commercial vehicles nationwide to curb overloading, permit violations and technical non-compliance.From 2024 to April 2026, a total of 2,580,954 commercial vehicles were inspected nationwide, with 415,846 vehicles taken action against for various offences under existing laws.He said 45,986 notices were issued in 2024, increasing to 57,174 notices in 2025, while 14,885 notices were issued between January and April this year.JPJ also carried out seizures involving 753 lorries for permit violations and offences under the Land Public Transport Act 2010.Penang recorded the highest number of seizures at 133, followed by Selangor with 125 and Pahang with 101.
