The Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) has implemented targeted enforcement operations against commercial vehicle drivers to enhance road safety and regulatory compliance.

Initial operations in regions such as Kedah and Selangor focused on addressing illegal substance use and documentation issues. In Kedah, authorities detained drivers suspected of using methamphetamine to combat fatigue during long-distance trips. In Selangor, enforcement actions identified drivers operating without valid licenses or legal employment documentation.

Subsequent joint operations in Kuala Lumpur, involving the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK), expanded the scope of drug screening. Out of 341 commercial drivers screened through September, 25 failed initial urine tests, including freight, tourism, and public service vehicle drivers. These operations also resulted in numerous summonses for various violations, such as expired vehicle taxes, improper insurance, and vehicle maintenance issues.
