JPJ director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said the officer has been issued a summons for overtaking on a double line, and suspended from driving the department’s vehicles.

“The officer has also been temporarily removed from active duty and reassigned to a non-operational role at the JPJ headquarters while a full investigation is carried out,” he said in a statement.

Aedy said the department views the matter seriously and has launched further investigations to determine if the officer has committed other offences.

“JPJ will not compromise on traffic violations, even if it involves our own personnel. We will take firm action against any officer or road user found breaking the law,” he said.

The 12-second video shows the JPJ vehicle overtaking on a double line, causing other motorists to honk to warn oncoming vehicles.

The department thanked the public for recording the video and urged more people to come forward with reports of traffic offences.

“Complaints may be made in real-time using the MyJPJ app or emailed to [email protected] with complete details,” it said.
