Despite repeated police operations, Kuala Lumpur motorcyclists are a stubborn lot, refusing to stop using motorcycles with noisy exhausts. In a mid-week operation conducted in conjunction with the Department of Environment (JAS), Kuala Lumpur traffic police (JSPT KL) nabbed a number of motorcycles for noisy exhausts.
All seized motorcycles were brought to JSPT KL headquarters at Jalan Dang Wangi for testing by JAS using a calibrated decibel meter. Owners of non-compliant motorcycles were issued summons and required to undo and rectify any modifications done to their vehicles before being released.
This is after a similar operation against motorcycles with noisy exhausts the previous month, where police conducted checks on offenders under the Environmental Quality Act 1974 – Environmental Regulations (Vehicle Noise Emissions) 1987. ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa, head of JSPT KL, was in attendance during the operation.
