PSP inspected nearly 700 people, no suspicions of wrongdoing

The Public Security Police Force (PSP) reported conducting an extensive series of operations as part of its winter crime prevention plan. During the Lunar New Year (CNY) holidays, the force intensified some operations to reinforce community safety.

The force said it inspected 694 random individuals from January 28 to February 2, with no cases of suspected wrongdoing reported.

Regarding vehicle checks, 125 vehicles were stopped and searched, resulting in two penalties for the same driver. The first penalty involved failing to display an identification sign (commonly known as a “P plate”), which indicates that the rider has held a motorcycle license for less than one year and cannot transport passengers. The second penalty was for transporting a passenger while having a license for less than one year.

The PSP added that 123 officers were involved in these operations at various locations on the Peninsula and Islands.

Additionally, during the CNY, the force reinforced inspections related to excessive noise and the illegal use of firecrackers and fireworks. According to the report, 106 complaints about noise pollution were received. Of those, 32 resulted in warnings, and 12 were fined. In the remaining cases, no action was taken as the noise source could not be identified. RM
