KLANG — Police have detained 146 people for questioning during a focused enforcement operation against road bullying at Bukit Raja toll plaza in Selangor. The operation, which included a minor aged 16 among those detained, formed part of authorities' broader efforts to curb aggressive driving and traffic-related violence on Malaysian highways.
The detentions were conducted as part of a systematic check at the toll plaza, a major thoroughfare connecting Klang and surrounding areas. Road bullying and reckless driving behaviour have become increasingly concerning issues on Malaysian roads, prompting law enforcement agencies to intensify their enforcement activities and conduct targeted operations at high-traffic locations.
Details regarding the specific offences recorded during the operation and subsequent actions against those detained remain under investigation. The operation reflects ongoing efforts by authorities to enhance road safety and reduce incidents of aggressive driving behaviour that endanger other road users.
Police have urged the public to exercise patience and courtesy while driving, and to report instances of road bullying to the authorities immediately.
