Parking Tout Jailed for 30 Days

Have you encountered parking touts that demand a “guard fee” when you want to park your motorcycle or car? This matter is prevalent in many places around the National Capital despite the parking lot in question is a public area.

It is actually an offence and we can report such activities to the Police or City Hall.

Several days ago a parking tout was jailed for 30 days and fined by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall Magistrate’s Court (DBKL) after being found guilty of carrying out such illegal activities.

He along with seven individuals, including five foreigners, were accused in court after being arrested by the DBKL Enforcement Department through the Unlicensed Parking Guard Special Operation (Ops Jaga), last Thursday. The operations was carried out around Jalan Tun Sambathan, Jalan Sri Hartamas, Jalan Beremi, Jalan Tengkat Tong Shin, Jalan Alor and Jalan Raja Alang. These areas were identified as the focus of parking touts to “guard” and collect parking fees in public areas.

“A special operation was carried out from 12.30pm to 9.30pm, which resulted in arresting three local men and five foreigners consisting of three Indians, one Bangladeshi and one Myanmar national.

“They are then taken to the Enforcement Department for further action and documentation process (court prosecution/investigation papers).

“Yesterday, the DBKL Magistrate’s Court sentenced one individual to 30 days in prison, four others were sentenced to 14 days in prison while the other three were fined,” DBKL said.

Previously, the media reported the activities of parking touts in the capital operating unabated after they were seen often disturbing road users. The parking touts were spotted charging up to RM20 for a vehicle targeting crowded locations such as shopping areas, dining places and around entertainment centers.

Police Hunts Man who Causes Accidents to Claim Money

Penang Police are hunting for a man who caused an accident on purpose and demanded money from the driver.

The police have received a report regarding a man who allegedly caused a road accident intentionally with the purpose of demanding a sum of money, supposedly as compensation from the owner of the car involved.

The man is said to cause accidents often around the city, Jalan Masjid Negeri, Bukit Gambir, Taman Lip Sin, and Taman Tun Sardon.

North East District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Razlam Ab Hamid, said the man is still being hunted by the police since receiving a complaint from the public last December. “So far a report has been received regarding the incident and efforts to track down the suspect are still ongoing.

“The case is being investigated according to Section 420 of the Penal Code which is cheating,” he said when contacted today.

Earlier, several photos and videos were circulated on social media showing the man riding a motorcycle deliberately hitting a car and claiming that the fault was caused by the owner of the vehicle involved.

Following the “violation,” the motorcyclist is said to be asking for damages of between RM20 and RM60 from the car owner on the grounds that his side mirror was broken in the incident.

Scams like this have happened several times and it makes the car dashboard camera or action camera for motorcyclists a must-have device.

Highway Concession Companies Instructed to Prepare for Ramadan

All highway concession companies are instructed to prepare for the month of Ramadan, especially during peak hours to ensure comfortable, safe and smooth travel for users.

The Malaysian Highways Authority (LLM) informed that it expects an increase in the amount of traffic on tolled highways when going home or going to work during Ramadan which is expected to start this Tuesday.

“Among the initiatives that need to be implemented is re-coordinating the location and time of lane closures for maintenance works in line with the time of return or departure from work, whether in the government or private sector which will change compared to normal working hours.

“In addition, rescheduling the activation time of the tidal route or smartlane in accordance with the change in working hours and ensuring that all facilities are provided in rest and treatment areas, side stops and toll plazas in good condition.

“This includes aspects of water supply and cleanliness,” according to LLM while also asking the parties involved to identify focal locations and provide temporary additional facilities to deal with the increase in the number of users.

In addition, they hope that cooperation with the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) can be increased to help smooth traffic movement, especially at critical locations such as traffic lights after highway exits to avoid traffic overflowing onto the highway’s main route.

2024 Yamaha TMAX 560 Launched in Japan

The 2024 Yamaha TMAX 560 has been launched in Japan with some minor updates.

The Yamaha TMAX is arguably the scooter which started the maxi-scooter class when it first was first released in 2001, taking over from the 250cc Majesty.  Popular in Europe, the bike has continued it 23-year run with updates after updates to bring it up to snuff. It still promises performance and tech without compromising on praticality and comfort.

Therefore, it is not a surprise that Yamaha updated the TMAX further to keep up, if not stay ahead, of its rivals.

The engine stays the same: A 562cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected parallel-twin. It produces a healthy maximum power of 48 hp at 7,500 RPM and 55.7 Nm of maximum torque at 5,250. That is a good spread of 2,250 RPM between maximum torque and power, ensuring fast roll-on acceleration.

However, the main updates lie in the electronic features. For starters, there is now cruise control which is a welcomed addition for long distance rides. The full-colour 7-inch TFT display now has built-in Garmin navigation. Keyless ignition, traction control, ABS are retained. The Japanese model has heated grips and seats.

Other features include a tall windscreen, comfy seats, huge underseat storage space and more. 2024 Yamaha TMAX 560 owners in Japan can opt for saddlebags and top case, but they may not be available for our market. But one thing for certain is it will take quite some time to arrive here.

PETRONAS Warns of Fake Investment Scam Using Company, CEO’s name

PETRONAS is calling on the public to be more vigilant against fake investment scams using the name of the company and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

PETRONAS said it has been informed about the online investment fraud that is active in the WhatsApp application.

According to them, the fraud involved the illegal use of the PETRONAS company name and logo, as well as the name of the PETRONAS Group President and Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik.

“The message included a fake news report purportedly from The Star with the headline used ‘Special Report: ‘PETRONAS opens joint investment platform with government support!’.

“It offers a scheme that promises returns through weekly investments in government operations related to natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production,” PETRONAS said in the statement.

The report was also accompanied by a fake video of Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik, with his image and voice manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI) software.

PETRONAS management explained and emphasized that there is no such investment platform from them.

“We would like to call on everyone not to respond to this fake investment scheme,” the national petroleum and gas company added.

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
