KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Bukit Aman has denied issuing a statement that went viral on WhatsApp that the police would carry out controls to enforce the use of seat belts for rear passengers every night on the PLUS highway.
The Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) also denied that a citation of 300 RM was issued for one errant rear seat passenger and 600 RM for two of those passengers.
Bukit Aman JSPT Deputy Director Datuk Mohd Nadzri Hussain said the department discovered a viral message spread via WhatsApp that citations would be issued to rear passengers who did not buckle up when traveling on the PLUS Highway.
He added that the department had never issued a statement on the matter.
“Road users are urged to stop spreading any false messages and to always verify the veracity of any message before uploading or sharing it on social media.
“The department advises all road users to always obey the law and traffic regulations to ensure everyone’s safety,” it said in the statement. – Bernama
