Police Rider Killed in Road Accident with Car

A police rider was killed in a road accident with a car.
Witnesses reported the driver of the car swerved into the path of the policeman.
Motorcyclists in Malaysia have to face such dangerous situations everyday.

Lans Korporal Mohamad Hanis Bin Zainudin, the police officer with the Unit Rondaan Bermotosikal (Motorcycle Patrol Unit) has passed away today after being involved in a road accident yesterday.

The accident happened in Kulai, Johor. Witnesses stated that a car from the opposite lane had cut across the officer’s path to enter the Shell petrol station. Being already at a short distance from the car, the officer couldn’t avoid and slammed into the front left door of the vehicle.

The impact threw the policeman off his bike. A video taken at the accident scene showed that the entire front portion of his Kawasaki Ninja 250 was smashed.

He was rushed to the hospital and listed as critical. However, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away this morning at 10am.

We wish to convey our condolences to his family.

Unfortunately, L/Kpl Mohamad Hanis will not be the last to die because due the impatience and indifference of other motorists towards motorcyclists. This writer himself encounter at least three close calls per day while commuting on his motorcycle.

But what truly makes us mad are certain groups and individuals who never fail to blame motorcyclists for every single accident which involves a motorcycle. To us, these people are both myopic and selfish. Sure, not every motorcyclist is an angel, but surely not every cause of accident is attributable to the motorcyclist. We really want to hear what they think of Allahyarham L/Kpl Mohamad Hanis’ demise.

Police to Act Against Motorcyclists Who Don’t Use Motorcycle Lane

The Royal Malaysian Police will carry out more operations to nab motorcyclists who have “discipline problems,” including not utilizing the motorcycle lane.
Other offences include riding without a valid license and road tax.
They nabbed a motorcyclist who had 23 outstanding summonses and 9 arrest warrants two days ago.

The Royal Malaysian Police will carry out more operations to nab motorcyclists who have “discipline problems,” including not utilizing the motorcycle lane.

The police added that this wasn’t the only problem as they have stopped many motorcyclists who ride without (or expired) license and motorcycle road tax. They even arrested a rider who has 23 outstanding summonses and 9 arrest warrants to his name, besides not owning a riding license.

Additionally, the police issued 162 summoses within a two-hour period in just one traffic operation two days ago.

Indeed, this writer personally witnessed the recalcitrance of motorcyclists who chose to ride on the main highway instead of the motorcycle lane during a recent Hari Raya safety campaign at the Bukit Jelutong Toll Plaza. A number of riders chose to u-turn against oncoming traffic while others squeezed past cars, busses and trucks at the booths.

While we understand that the condition of motorcycle lanes isn’t exactly conducive to riding, we are required to use it by law. However, we implore the authorities to pay attention to provide a safer environment to motorcyclists, instead of going after silly policies that serve no purpose other than riling public anger.

Pada masa sama, Ketua Pegawai Operasi PLUS Malaysia, Zakaria Ahmad Zabidi mendedahkan 13 daripada 18 kemalangan maut berlaku di leburaya melibatkan penunggang motosikal.

Menurut laporan NST, Zakaria memohon agar semua penunggang motosikal untuk lebih berhati-hati ekoran angka kematian melibatkan penunggang berada di tahap membimbangkan.

Ops Selamat: Denda Maksimum RM300 Menanti Pesalah Trafik

Pengguna jalan raya digesa untuk mematuhi segala peraturan jalan raya ekoran pihak berkuasa telah menetapkan saman maksimum RM300 ketika Ops Selamat bagi musim raya ini.

Sebelum ini, Menteri Pengangkutan, Anthony Loke menegaskan bahawa tiada diskaun terhadap sebarang saman yang dikenakan sempena musim perayaan ini.

Menurut laporan The Star, pihak berkuasa juga akan lebih tegas terhadap pengguna jalan raya yang memandu laju, melanggar lampu merah, menggunakan lorong kecemasan, memintas di garisan berkembar dan memandu sambil menggunakan telefon.

Ops Selamat telah pun bermula pada 29 Mei dan akan berlangsung sehingga 12 Jun 2019 dengan seramai 4,500 pegawai daripada Bahagian Siasatan Dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik Bukit Aman akan turun bagi memastikan kelancaran operasi.

Sementara itu, Ketua Bahagian Siasatan Dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik Kuala Lumpur, ACP Zulkefly Yahya mengesahkan tiada sebarang diskaun akan ditawarkan kepada pesalah trafik dengan tujuan untuk mendidik orang ramai agar lebih bertanggungjawab di atas jala raya.

ACP Zulkefly turut menasihatkan pengguna jalan raya terutamanya penunggang motosikal untuk mematuhi peraturan jalan raya dan lebih berhati-hati ketika musim perayaan ini.

Diharapkan penguatkuasaan yang lebih tegas ini dapat memastikan daripada tidak berlakunya insiden yang tidak diingini.

PDRM Saran Orang Ramai Isi Borang Balik Kampung

Sempena sambutan Hari Raya yang semakin menghampiri, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) menggesa agar orang ramai mengisi borang keselamatan sebelum memulakan perjalanan balik kampung.

Borang tersebut yang boleh dimuat turun di SINI, akan memudahkan pihak polis membuat pemantauan di kawasan perumahan agar dapat mengelakkan daripada kejadian jenayah berlaku.

Inisiatif Borang Maklumat Balik Kampung itu sedikit sebanyak dapat mengurangkan kebimbangan orang ramai terhadap rumah dan kenderaan yang ditinggalkan ketika di kampung halaman.

IPK Selangor Tampil Ber-Bezza dengan Perodua

No Benelli TRK 502 Says Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM)

Pictures of a Benelli TRK 520 in Royal Malaysian Police colours were making rounds on the internet.
The pictures led some to believe that PDRM are using the bike.
However, they denied that they have the model in service.

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has denied that they have drafted the Benelli TRK 502 into service.

Pictures of a Benelli TRK 502 resplendent in PDRM markings were making rounds on the internet. Additionally, it is equipped with police regalia such as sirens/loudspeakers and strobe lights. There appears to be no CB radio, however.

Director of the Strategic Human Resources and Technology at Bukit Aman, Datuk Sri Tajudin Md Isa said that PDRM has yet put any new bike into service. “I confirm that the motorcycle does not belong to the Royal Malaysian Police.”

Conversely, he added that, “The motorcycle may be used for testing.”

The PDRM currently has six types of motorcycles in service. They are the Honda CBX750P, Honda VFR800, Honda ST1300, Kawasaki Ninja 300, Kawasaki KLX250 and Kawasaki Z250.

The fleet is being used by the Department of Traffic Investigation and Enforcement (Jabatan Siasatan Trafik dan Penguatkuasaan), Motorcycle Patrol Unit (Unit Rondaan Bermotosikal) and Special Operations Command (Pasukan Gerak Khas).

We hope that the bike is legit i.e. being tested by the police. Otherwise, please refrain from dressing up your motorcycle to mimic that of the police.

850 Summonses Issued in 3 Hours at Two Locations

A total of 850 traffic summonses were issued by the Police and JPJ to motorcyclists at two different locations yesterday.
Offences include not using the motorcycle lane, riding without license, expired road tax, among others.
The number of offences is mind-bogging, to say the least.

Guthrie Corridor Highway

The Malaysian Traffic Police issued 232 summonses in just 3 hours to motorcyclists who did not use the motorcycle lane at Kilometre-2.5 of the Guthrie Corridor Highway. The news was reported by Kosmo! Online yesterday.

The Police sting was part of the Ops Selamat in conjunction with the Chinese New Year road safety campaign, which also involved the Road Transport Department (JPJ). While the number of motorcycle lane defaulters amounted to 232 summonses, a total of 375 were issued including other offences.

While the operations were conducted, there were several hardcore law breakers who turned back and rode against traffic flow to escape the roadblock. The Police resorted to chasing them down on their motorcycles.

One motorcyclist who rode 100 metres against traffic was chased down and found riding without a valid license.

Jalan Duta Toll Plaza

In a separate JPJ operation at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza, a total of 475 summonses were issued while another 15 motorcycles were impounded from 9pm to 12 midnight. Offences range from not possessing valid license, not wearing a helmet, using non-regulation number plates and expired road tax.

850 summonses in the space of 3 hours each at two locations is an outrage! Where is this? Afghanistan? This is beyond alarming. What would other vehicle owners think of motorcyclists if this continues? And yet some motorcyclists are critical of how others drive.

While we do not like using the motorcycle lanes due to being shoddily designed and maintained, we still do use them when available. The need of doing so is due to both the law and safety from having to share space with larger vehicles.

Riding without valid license or road tax are offences because there is no insurance cover in case one gets into an accident. However, mishap or otherwise, the law is the law. Our roads will descend into utter chaos and anarchy if no one obeys traffic laws!

Police Caught Singaporean Bikers with Taped Up Plates

The Malaysian police have caught the Singaporean bikers with taped up number plates.
Malaysian Inspector-General of the Police confirmed the news
They paid up their summons.

PDRM caught the Singaporeans bikers who taped up their bikes’ number plates yesterday.

PDRM showed a radar gun picture of a Suzuki Hayabusa travelling at 253 km/h, although they did not specify where the group was stopped.

Another picture of a PDRM highway patrol car stopped in front of the motorcycles outside a petrol station shop. The bikers were seen taking selfies and smiling nonchalantly.

The next set of photos saw them paying up their summons at a PDRM payment counter. We assume they were escorted to the nearest police station.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun confirmed that the group were Singaporeans and the dashcam video was caught in Johor Bahru. “We have taken action against those bikers involved, regardless if they are locals, what more foreigners,” he added during a media press conference yesterday.

The Royal Malaysian Police had set up roadblocks and speed traps on Malaysia’s main highways and roads in conjunction with the Chinese New Year. Major celebrations in the country always sees the exodus of thousands of Malaysians to their hometowns and holiday destinations. So, it was foolhardy to pull such a “trick.”

This unruly bunch were lucky they didn’t get involved in accidents and causing even more difficulties to highway users during this busy time.

In any case, well done, PDRM.
