Apart from the vehicles, 172 auction books were also sold. The program netted an impressive total of RM 389,963.

The batch of vehicles consists of 30 motorcycles, 20 cars, nine MPVs, two trucks, one jeep, and a trailer.

Director of the JPJ’s Enforcement Unit’s Headquarters, Khairul Anwar Bachok expressed his surprise at the large turnout. A crowd started to show since 8am and stayed until the auctions ended at 3pm.

Bids for motorcycles opened at RM 150. A lucky bidder claimed a Yamaha YZF-R6 for RM 15,000.

The vehicles consist of those confiscated by the department for various offences. The vehicles were without legal owners after court rulings. Offences included not having valid Motor Vehicle License (better known as road tax), driving without a valid license, and driving below legal age. A number of the cars were “clones”.

So, watch out for the next auction, because you don’t what you can walk away with.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
