NILAI, March 27 (Bernama) -- The Negeri Sembilan Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department issued 1,497 summonses for red light violations during a special operation conducted from March 12 to 22.
State police chief Datuk Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said that in addition, 572 summonses were issued for various other offences, including illegal modification of exhaust systems, driving without a licence and missing registration numbers under Section 64(1) of the Road Transport Act.
