The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has called for more systematic risk management and tighter safety measures for large-scale motorcycle gatherings, following an engagement session with the organisers of RXZ Members in Putrajaya. The session, chaired by JPJ, focused on road safety and measures to improve risk management before, during and after major motoring events.
Among the key areas highlighted was the need to ensure the eligibility of both riders and motorcycles, manage traffic and vehicle movements, and carry out targeted enforcement focusing on offences that pose the greatest risk to road users. JPJ also stressed the importance of cooperation with highway concessionaires and the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) in implementing Travel Time Advisories (TTA), aimed at improving traffic flow and road safety during major events.
The department recommended a phased approach, beginning with early engagement, education and public awareness, followed by firm enforcement where necessary. Close cooperation between event organisers, JPJ, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and relevant technical agencies would be crucial to ensuring large-scale motorcycle gatherings are conducted in an orderly, safe and responsible manner.
The engagement session was attended by the JPJ state directors of Pahang, Melaka and Terengganu, senior JPJ headquarters officials, as well as representatives from the Corporate Division, Automotive Engineering Division and Road Safety Division. Also present were representatives from PDRM Terengganu, Kuala Terengganu City Council (MBKT), the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), Department of Environment (DOE), Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) and RXZ Members organisers.
JPJ said in its media statement it continues to support motoring community activities that are organised in a proper and responsible manner. However, the department stressed that public safety, compliance with the law and protection of road users’ lives will remain its top priorities, with further engagement sessions with relevant agencies and event organisers held in the future.
The engagement session follows the recent RXZ Members 8.0 Gathering, held in Kuala Terengganu. During the event, which reportedly saw over 200,000 participants, 11 accident deaths were recorded, with a further 30 cases of accidents resulting in light injuries recorded.
Like training a bunch of monkeys
They need safety belt
… to keep them at home
Hahahahahaahahahhaha
Okay dah tu
first of all, fix the fundamental; those who violated the rules, shouldn’t be attending at all.
just catch them on the highway entries. right before they start doing superman and monkey stunts and endanger the lives of other road users.
and JPJ, do you job. illegal mods on the bike, no matter extreme or minor, is still against the law and you need to give summons.
easy la… make it compulsory that all participants need to wear full face helmet, protection jacket, gloves and boots that meets CE standards. the number of participants will drop dramatically because all they can afford is MS88 helmets.
tapi, anak saya baik.
just shoot all of them to increase the average income and IQ of malaysians. Problem solved
According to a retired ex-cop neighbour, shooting guns at motorcyclists for committing such traffic offences will never be allowed by any law, because shooting at a moving target will increase the chance of the bullet straying off & hitting something or somebody else, since road junctions are already in public areas with other vehicles & bystanders present.
When even the popo were former rempits, what hope do normal people have?
Ensure they have OSHA committee. These committee will look the safety of members, participants, public and properties. Safety along the way which include safe back-up support team, Fuel Filling stops between rest areas. Proper side parking with proper emergency stop signage. Liase with proper agency to provide emergency / medical / repairs / accident cases. Highlight the need to be courteous to other road user, villagers and those eating by roadside stalls / restaurant or RnR areas. JPJ and police should take note the vehicles used are roadworthy.
wont work if you ask THEM to govern themselves. Just look at Lembaga Tabung Haji. stealing muslim’s money since early 2000 undetected until now. zero shame. zero fear of islam.
Waste of taxpayer money to enforce authorities. Just ban the gathering
Just ban them. Waste of taxpayer money to enforce authorities
Check for driving license, more than half gone!
