MIRI: Over a decade (2008 to 2018), a total of some 60,000 summonses for Brunei-registered vehicles are yet to be settled.
Following the outstanding summonses, a three- day operation was launched yesterday and to end tomorrow (Sunday October 28).
This was disclosed by Miri city police chief ACP Lim MengSeah yesterday during his visit to the Malaysia-Brunei border at Sungai 7 checkpoint, Kuala Baram. He was inspecting on the operation process being held on both exits.
Lim said the highest traffic offences recorded are speeding and illegal parking.
Other agencies involved are the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) and Miri City Council (MCC). Nearly 40 police personnel are involved in the three-day operation.
Lim said, for foreign citizens, especially those from Brunei, who have been to Sarawak, they are advised to check their outstanding traffic summonses at any traffic police stations.
This was the second time such operation being held to detect Brunei-registered vehicles with outstanding traffic summonses. Similar operation was held sometime in March this year.
Lim, when asked whether the operation would affect the flow of Bruneians coming to Miri, he said, the operation is just meant to detect those with outstanding traffic summonses.
