KUALA LUMPUR, Aug. 8 -- Authorities in Negri Sembilan seized five luxury vehicles during their latest operation for not having valid road tax and insurance coverage.

The state Road Transport Department (JPJ) has also impounded a total of 10 high-end vehicles so far this year due to similar offences, director Hanif Yusabra Yusuf said in a report by The Star.

"These vehicles cost hundreds of thousands of ringgit each, but sadly, their owners have not paid the road tax," he was quoted saying.

From January to July this year, the state JPJ issued more than 10,400 summonses to vehicle owners who failed to renew their road tax.

In the same period, another 7,812 summonses were issued to motorists whose vehicles did not have insurance coverage...
