The road transport department‘s (JPJ) Ops Ekstrem, which began this year targeting excessively-modified bikes, has been expanded to cars. On Sunday, JPJ seized 37 such cars – some lowered, some with flaming exhausts and some even with air suspension, Bernama reports.
“Some vehicles had been extensively modified, with their bodies lowered to the point of almost touching the road, while some owners had spent up to RM150,000 modifying exhausts to produce flames. Roads are not the place to showcase extreme vehicle modifications that push vehicles to their limits, disrupt public order and endanger other road users,” JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said.
He added that the seized vehicles will be held until legal action is taken against their owners and the vehicles are restored to their original specifications and condition.
Conducted between one and five in the morning around KL, particularly along Jalan Raja Laut, the operation took action against 97 of the 156 vehicles inspected, for various offences. 485 notices were used (97 for non-regulation number plates, 77 for exhaust-related offences, 66 for expired road tax, 57 for not having insurance, 44 for tinted windows and 11 for vehicle modifications).
Aedy Fadly said the air suspension systems, which cost RM15,000-25,000, were initially brought into the capital from Borneo, and that Ops Ekstrem will expand nationwide beginning this week.
He said JPJ will refer such modifications to the domestic trade and cost of living ministry (KPDN) and the customs department to curb the entry of illegal components and take action against unregistered workshops.
Knight rider still around?

Rakyat menderita. Barang semua mahal. Gaji kecik. 300l BUDI mana cukup. Negeri kita orang nak ambik dah.
So on and so forth.
it’s the typical t20 culture of a very specific race (this is statistics, not racism). where they think behaving like chimpanzees equals cool and points. But to the rest of the world, they are simply society’s trash
If these morons can spend RM150,000 to race like Mr Torreddo..it is small change..just seize the damn cars and auction off ..proceeds go to help Kebajikan welfare receipients like oku and anak yatim.
The soft approach is Jurassic.
Just SITA permanently.
Sampah!
t20? Really. LOL
tapi kan, anak saya baek…
Empty can make the loudest noise,
More engine, exhaust noise than oomph
Pop & Banggang Kalcher….
minyak mahal bising, makanan mahal bising…sara hidup tinggi
buat ejoz bising…hobi habis duit pun tak apa… gaya hidup tak mau bising…
It’s just so stupid and annoying. These people are childish and just clamouring for attention. They think people are so impressed when their car exhausts make those explosive sounds… and they intentionally rev their engine just to get the desired effect. I hope JPJ will continue carrying out these Ops until all these irritating cars are taken off our roads.
