No Roadblocks for RXZ Members 8.0, Police Vow Strict Enforcement

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will not be implementing roadblocks during the RXZ Members 8.0 event, scheduled from July 31 to August 1. However, Terengganu Police Chief Datuk Mohd. Khairi Khairuddin issued a stern warning that there will be no compromise for any participant caught violating road traffic laws. The event is anticipated to draw a massive crowd, with an estimated 100,000 to 120,000 Yamaha RXZ riders converging from across the country.

To ensure the smooth running of this large-scale motorcycle community gathering, 619 police officers and personnel will be deployed across strategic locations and main routes throughout the state. Mohd. Khairi emphasized that while roadblocks are absent, enforcement will be intensified through patrols and monitoring. "Enforcement strategies will still be implemented, but the operational methods are police strategies and cannot be disclosed," he stated during a press conference.

There will be no roadblocks, but that does not mean there are exceptions. If you commit an offense, we will take action according to the law.

Recalling the RXZ Members 7.0 event last year, Mohd. Khairi noted that two fatal accidents occurred in Dungun and Hulu Terengganu, along with severe injuries in Kemaman and Setiu, and seven minor injuries across various districts. "Although the number of fatal accidents decreased compared to the previous year, every loss of life is a tragedy we deeply regret. Therefore, we want this year's event to be safer without any untoward incidents," he added.

Police posts and tents will be stationed at key areas, including Jalan Pantai Miami and Jalan Pantai Kota Ketapang, to deter dangerous stunts like 'wheelies' and to increase police visibility in high-traffic zones. Participants are reminded to ensure their motorcycles are well-maintained, possess valid driving licenses, adhere to speed limits, and follow all road regulations. The use of side mirrors, registration plates conforming to JPJ specifications, and standard exhausts are mandatory.
