Authorities in Kedah, Malaysia, have seized a luxury Toyota Vellfire, reportedly owned by a national football player, due to expired road tax and lack of insurance. The vehicle was stopped during an operation by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) in Alor Setar.

According to Kedah JPJ Director Stien Van Lutam, the MPV was driven by a 29-year-old man, who is the brother-in-law of the footballer. Investigations revealed that the vehicle's motor vehicle license (LKM) had expired in November of the previous year, and it lacked valid insurance coverage. The driver claimed he was unaware of the expired road tax.

JPJ emphasized that the special operation, dubbed 'Op Luxury,' was conducted to ensure all vehicle owners adhere to road regulations and laws, irrespective of their social standing or background. The department affirmed its commitment to continuing enforcement operations to guarantee compliance with traffic laws.

JPJ Kedah will continue to intensify enforcement operations to ensure that laws are always complied with.
