“Other offences include no insurance (204), using number plates that are not according to specifications (115) and no side mirror (58),” he told reporters after checking on a roadblock in Jalan Pahang here yesterday.

“The foreigners comprised 59 men and 11 women, and they will be taken to the Kuala Lumpur immigration department in Jalan Duta for the documentation process,” he said.
