The Selangor Road Transport Department (JPJ) has seized a Lamborghini during a recent enforcement operation in Klang
The seizure occurred after the vehicle was found operating with an expired Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM), commonly known as road tax, along with other regulatory violations.
The operation, dubbed 'Ops Luxury', took place yesterday, 11 March, along Persiaran Ampuan Rahimah.
According to a statement on JPJ Selangor's official Facebook page, enforcement officers flagged the Italian supercar for multiple infractions.
In addition to the expired road tax, the vehicle's registration number plate failed to meet the technical specifications mandated by Malaysian law.
Following the inspection, the Lamborghini was towed to the JPJ Shah Alam headquarters for further action
Under the Road Transport Act 1987, driving a vehicle without a valid LKM is a serious offence that can lead to vehicle seizure and significant fines.
Owners of high-performance vehicles often face substantial annual road tax costs; for example, a 5.2-litre Lamborghini Huracán typically incurs an annual road tax of approximately RM12,048, while a top-tier Aventador or the hybrid Revuelto can exceed RM19,000 annually.
The enforcement underscores JPJ's increased focus on luxury vehicle compliance
"Selangor JPJ always pays attention and continuously monitors all complaints to ensure that vehicles comply with established road rules and laws," the department stated.
It added that the seizure was part of JPJ's broader commitment to ensuring all road users, regardless of vehicle value, adhere to the same legal standards.
The Lamborghini remains in custody under Section 64(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which permits vehicle detention to ensure the offence is halted
Similar high-profile seizures have recently occurred in the Klang Valley, involving luxury cars with "fancy" number plates that are often used to evade speed cameras or for aesthetic purposes, both of which are strictly prohibited.
