This enforcement initiative targets commercial fleet operators and bus companies that have repeatedly failed to settle traffic fines, with JPJ threatening permit suspension and vehicle seizure for non-compliant firms.

Key Facts

What Is Op Tegar and Why Is JPJ Targeting These Companies?

Op Tegar is a nationwide JPJ enforcement operation conducted from 2023 to 2026 that identifies vehicle companies with high records of unpaid traffic summonses and repeated failure to settle them. The operation specifically targets commercial fleet operators, including goods vehicle companies and bus operators, that have accumulated substantial outstanding fines. JPJ has stated it will not compromise further, with Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli declaring, "We have called for them to settle their summonses, but there are still those who are stubborn. So JPJ will not compromise after this. After this, we will not give any more leeway."

Which Companies Have the Highest Outstanding Summonses?

KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd leads the list with 3,083 unpaid summonses, followed by Mainiza Mantap Sdn Bhd with 889, Boon Chin Transport Sdn Bhd with 767, Syarikat Ehsan Enterprise Sdn Bhd with 482, and Tashwin IT Enterprise with 321 summonses. Among bus companies, Cepat Ekspres Sdn Bhd recorded the highest number at 199 summonses, followed by GJG Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd (108), AC Interstate Coach (M) Sdn Bhd (23), Sri Theven Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd (22), and Star Mart Express Sdn Bhd (21). These figures represent the top offenders identified during the 2023–2026 enforcement period.

What Actions Will JPJ Take Against Non-Compliant Companies?

JPJ has given all 945 companies a 14-day period starting Friday, 10 September 2026, to settle their outstanding summonses before further enforcement action is taken. Failure to comply will result in JPJ collaborating with the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) to suspend the permits of involved companies. Additionally, vehicles belonging to these companies that continue operating on the road may be detained and seized until all summonses are fully settled. JPJ Senior Enforcement Director Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan was also present at the press conference.

"If they fail, JPJ will take further action including cooperating with APAD to suspend the permits of the companies involved."

What Reasons Do Companies Give for Not Paying Summonses?

JPJ has identified common excuses from companies including forgetting about the summonses, being too busy with company duties, and claiming ignorance about the fines imposed. According to Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, these companies have taken the easy way out by not settling their summonses despite receiving various notices and reminders. The department has previously called these companies to settle their fines, but a significant number remain defiant. JPJ has stated it will intensify Op Tegar in a targeted manner against vehicle-owning companies and drivers with high outstanding summons records who repeatedly fail to resolve them.

Who Is This Enforcement Action For in Malaysia?

This enforcement action directly affects Malaysian commercial fleet operators, logistics companies, waste management firms, and bus transportation providers operating under JPJ regulation. For the Malaysian public, this action represents increased road safety accountability, as companies with outstanding summonses often have vehicles with unresolved traffic violations. The enforcement particularly impacts companies operating in urban areas like the Klang Valley, where KDEB Waste Management, a major waste collection contractor, operates. JPJ's collaboration with APAD signals a comprehensive regulatory approach affecting both goods transport and public passenger services across Malaysia.

Common Questions

How long do companies have to settle their outstanding summonses?

Companies have 14 days starting from Friday, 10 September 2026, to settle all outstanding summonses. JPJ will take further action, including permit suspension through APAD and vehicle seizure, if companies fail to comply within this period.

What happens to vehicles if companies do not pay their summonses?

Vehicles belonging to non-compliant companies that continue operating on the road can be detained and seized by JPJ until all summonses are fully settled. This applies to both goods vehicles and buses identified under Op Tegar.

KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd has the highest number of outstanding summonses with 3,083 recorded violations. This is followed by Mainiza Mantap Sdn Bhd with 889 summonses and Boon Chin Transport Sdn Bhd with 767 summonses.
