KUALA LUMPUR, 1 March 2022 – YBhg Datuk Lokman bin Jamaan, Senior Director of Enforcement, Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Malaysia (JPJ) today officiated the opening of the first session of Vehicle Theft Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTREC) with the co-operation of Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) and Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) on vehicle theft motivated by stolen vehicle spare parts and fake spare parts laboratory. The lab took place at Kuala Lumpur Golf Club, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.
Stolen vehicle spare parts and fake spare parts he said, “can act as a safety hazard. The brakes you bought might not be able to stop the car in time or the aftermarket sport rim alloy can crack as soon it hits the potholes. Lab on vehicle theft with stolen spare parts components and counterfeit parts are rarely featured, therefore this lab is certainly significant in our effort to combat vehicle theft and road safety hazard. The lab will channel the information we want to know.” In his Officiating Speech, he also highlighted, “Congratulation to VTREC in organising the lab, the approach of the lab is important and rational in facing the challenges of vehicle theft issues and consumers safety.”
