JPJ Deputy Director-General (Management and Operations), Datuk Jazmanie Shafawi, said that during the same period, 41,332 motorcycles were inspected nationwide, with 103 of them seized for various offences.

"In addition, 4,242 buses were inspected at depots and terminals across the country as of yesterday. From that total, 779 inspection slips were issued.

"Meanwhile, two buses were seized for non-compliance with established safety and legal requirements," he told reporters after overseeing the JPJ special operation for Chinese New Year at Lembah Sireh here today.
