From Monday, the police will be launching Ops Warta, a major crackdown on traffic offenders throughout the country, reports Bernama.

The operation is aimed at nabbing traffic offenders who have yet to settle summonses totalling RM1.9 million and those facing arrest warrants for traffic offences, according to federal traffic police chief SAC Mohd Fuad Abd Latiff.

"The operations this time will also focus on vehicles with number plates that flout the law and beacon lights or stroke lights that do not have Road Transport Department (JPJ) approval," he said on the Royal Malaysia Police's Facebook account today.

Mohd Fuad also said the police were deferring their operations on tinted vehicles until the Transport ministry announces a decision on its review of regulations governing tinting of car windshields and windows.
