SEREMBAN: Professionals and individuals with 'Datuk' titles are among those caught driving luxury vehicles worth millions of ringgit without valid road tax or insurance.
Negri Sembilan Road Transport Department (RTD) director Jasyindar Singh Sidhu said 143 luxury vehicles were seized in the state in 2025 for the offence.
Between January and April this year, another 45 luxury vehicles were seized for the same offence.
"Among the vehicles seized in 2025 were seven Porsches, 11 Audis, 21 Toyota Alphards and Toyota Vellfires, 30 Mercedes-Benzes, 35 BMWs, and 39 other models.
"From January to April this year, the department seized three Porsches, four Audis, three Toyota Alphards and Vellfires, 15 Mercedes-Benzes, 12 BMWs, and eight other vehicles," he told a press conference.
He said in one case, the RTD seized a car belonging to a Datuk in his late 40s.
The offence, he said, continues to baffle the department.
"They can afford a Porsche but not road tax and insurance. It is baffling," he said.
In a separate matter, Jasyindar said the department seized 335 motorcycles ridden by foreigners in 2025, with another 175 seized between January and April this year.
He said action was taken against 460 foreigners in 2025 and another 101 between January and April this year. Most of the offenders were Pakistanis (224), Indonesians (116), and Bangladeshis (159). - NST
