00:00For your information, Aliyah Muhammad, in 2024, we have seen the number of
00:05control license suspension actions and the highest permit for vehicles
00:09on a company that fails to audit the Industry Safety Code or ICOP
00:16resulting in failure or involvement in related violations.
00:21This is in line with the Ministry of Transport's firm commitment
00:24to improve road safety
00:26and ensure safety regulations for heavy vehicles.
00:30A total of 247 control licenses have been suspended
00:35in 2024 compared to 101 in 2023
00:40and 94 in 2022,
00:43while only 8 control licenses were suspended
00:46between 2019 and 2021.
00:50The Ministry of Transport through the Land Transport Agency
00:53also suspended 23 vehicle permits in 2024
00:57for violations of the Road Safety Code.
01:00The suspension period can reach up to 90 days for serious violations.
01:05In addition, the Ministry of Transport through the APAD
01:08also suspended 7 control licenses between 2022 and 2024
01:14compared to no suspension between 2019 and 2021.
01:19When a company's control license is suspended or suspended,
01:23all registered vehicles under the company cannot operate.
01:28Among the companies whose control licenses have been suspended
01:31include a company listed in Busan, Malaysia
01:34that has more than 1,000 vehicles.
01:37As reported by the media,
01:39the company was forced to make an announcement in Busan, Malaysia
01:43regarding the suspension action by APAD
01:45because there are serious implications for its operation.
01:49This is the result of the MOT's insistence
01:52not to take action
01:55even though the big companies have violations
01:58that can jeopardize the safety of the public on the road.
02:01The MOT will continue this action
02:04in addition to improving other road safety initiatives
02:07including the enforcement of heavy vehicles
02:10that exceed the limits,
02:12tightening the inspection procedures
02:15and improving the compliance of the ICOB between the players.
02:18In addition to suspending or suspending the license of lorries,
02:23can the owners of these lorries be brought to court
02:28and be charged?
02:31Are the lorries that have been proven to exceed the limits
02:36can be removed by the government?
02:41Yam Mohamad, Minister, for your answer.
02:43Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman.
02:45Yes, I do agree with Yam Mohamad's view.
02:48We do not have any compromise
02:50towards the operators of this company
02:54that transport goods with such excessive limits.
02:59It is true that in Section 57.3 of the Land Transport Act 2010,
03:06the operators of the transport company
03:09can not only be suspended from their license,
03:12but can also be prosecuted
03:14and brought to court up to 500,000
03:17or imprisoned for no more than two years.
03:21It is also true that their vehicles can also be confiscated.
03:25There are indeed several cases that we have brought to court
03:28to give a strong signal or message
03:31to these operators
03:33so that they do not exceed the limits.
03:37This is a strong message.
03:39In the Ministry of Transport,
03:41we are also seeing that
03:43not only the operators and owners of the transport company
03:47are subject to action,
03:49but also the owners of the cargo
03:51are also held accountable
03:53for their actions.
03:55If they allow their cargo
03:57to exceed the limits.
04:00The weight in motion has already been planned.
04:03There has been a proof of concept.
04:05We are currently working on
04:10the weight in motion machine
04:14and it will be installed in several locations
04:16as a starting point.
04:18From a long-term perspective,
04:20this is an approach that the Ministry will take
04:24to implement
04:26weight in motion more efficiently
04:30to monitor the movements of heavy vehicles
04:33that carry more cargo.
04:35We hope that with this approach,
04:40the number of vehicles carrying
04:43excess cargo can be reduced.
