JPJ Raids PUSPAKOM: Bribery Suspected in Approval of Unsafe Vehicles VIRAL VIDEO SPARKS QUESTIONS ON INTEGRITY AND SAFETY

Kuala Lumpur, 31 December – A viral TikTok video has revealed a raid by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) on PUSPAKOM over allegations of approving small cargo lorries that failed to meet safety standards. The incident has sparked public outrage and concern.

Approval of Unsafe Vehicles
The video shows a lorry reportedly deemed unsafe that was allegedly approved by PUSPAKOM. The vehicle is linked to a company based in Gombak, Selangor. These allegations raise serious questions about the integrity of PUSPAKOM, including claims of bribery in the vehicle inspection process.

Criticism of PUSPAKOM Leadership
PUSPAKOM CEO Mahmood Razak Bahman is under intense public scrutiny, with many calling for him to take responsibility. The management has faced widespread criticism, with demands for his resignation growing louder.

One social media user wrote, “If these allegations are true, public safety has been compromised for profit. Authorities must act immediately!”

Firm Action by Authorities
JPJ is reported to be conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. A JPJ spokesperson stressed the department’s commitment to road safety, stating that any form of misconduct would not be tolerated.

“The safety of road users is our top priority. Any misconduct will be met with strict action,” the spokesperson said.

Road Accidents and Safety Standards
The incident has reignited broader discussions on road safety and the rising number of accidents caused by vehicles that fail to meet safety standards. Many believe systemic weaknesses in vehicle inspections and corruption must be urgently addressed to prevent future tragedies.

PUSPAKOM’s Silence
As of now, PUSPAKOM has not issued an official statement. The public is demanding decisive action from the government and law enforcement to ensure the integrity and efficiency of institutions responsible for road safety.

Will strong follow-up action be taken, or will this incident become yet another unresolved issue? The public awaits the government and JPJ’s response to this pressing matter.
