MIRI – Police in Miri have issued 50 summonses during a motorcycle enforcement operation carried out on 19 April 2026.
The initiative, led by the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division of the Miri District Police Headquarters (IPD), was conducted in response to public complaints about disruptive motorcycle activities in the Taman Tunku area.
The operation, which ran from 5.00pm to 9.00pm, focused on Jalan Taman Tunku, a location frequently reported by residents for traffic disturbances. Officers inspected 25 motorcycles and checked 30 individuals, comprising 22 men and 8 women.
Investigations revealed a range of offences, including riding without a valid driving licence, structural modifications to motorcycles, altered exhaust systems producing excessive noise, missing side mirrors, absence of registration numbers, and the use of non-standard or “fancy” registration plates.
Each of these violations was addressed with summonses issued under PDRM summons (K) 257, specifically targeting illegal modifications and technical breaches.
Miri District Police Chief ACP Mohd Farhan Lee bin Abdullah stated that the operation was necessary to address growing concerns from the community.
He emphasised that police will not compromise with individuals involved in street gang activities or reckless behaviour that endangers both riders and other road users.
Authorities highlighted that such enforcement operations are part of broader efforts to maintain public order and ensure compliance with road laws.
ACP Mohd Farhan stressed that adherence to vehicle specifications is crucial for safety, and modifications that violate regulations will not be tolerated.
The police have urged the public to drive responsibly, avoid unlawful modifications, and refrain from activities that disrupt traffic flow.
They also encouraged residents to report any information regarding street gang activities to the Miri IPD for further action.
This operation reflects the police’s ongoing commitment to tackling unsafe practices and reinforcing community confidence in road safety enforcement.
By responding directly to public complaints, authorities aim to reduce risks and maintain order in areas where traffic violations are most prevalent.
