KUALA LUMPUR — The Kuala Lumpur branch of the Road Transport Department (JPJ) recorded RM376,091 in proceeds from its latest public auction of seized vehicles, the department announced this week.
The auction, held under the department's vehicle forfeiture programme, saw a range of impounded vehicles sold to the public. The funds generated from such sales are typically channelled back into departmental operations and road safety initiatives.
The JPJ regularly conducts auctions of vehicles that have been confiscated due to various traffic violations and regulatory breaches. These public sales provide an avenue for the department to dispose of impounded assets while generating revenue for enforcement and administrative purposes.
The Kuala Lumpur JPJ office, which oversees one of Malaysia's busiest traffic enforcement jurisdictions, has stepped up vehicle seizure operations in recent years as part of broader road safety and regulatory compliance campaigns. Officials have indicated that proceeds from such auctions help support ongoing traffic management and public awareness programmes.
The department continues to accept bids from interested buyers for future vehicle auctions, with details typically announced through official JPJ channels and public notices.
