JPJ to seize commercial vehicles using foreign drivers from today

GOMBAK : The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will begin confiscating commercial vehicles owned by companies that employ foreign drivers starting today. JPJ’s Senior Director of Enforcement Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan stated that the crackdown targets lorries, public service vehicles, and tour buses driven by foreigners. He clarified that current regulations prohibit foreigners from holding Vocational Licences like Goods Drivers Licence (GDL) or Public Service Vehicle (PSV) permits. “Enforcement action can be taken under Sections 22, 41, and 57 of the Land Public Transport Act (APAD) 2010 for permit violations,“ he said during a press conference at the JPJ Enforcement Station. He added that Section 80 of APAD 2010 allows officers to seize and forfeit company vehicles if found guilty. The move follows reports of companies hiring foreign drivers for around RM2,500 monthly, alongside repeat offenders. As of July, JPJ issued 2,733 summonses against foreigners driving commercial vehicles, including 2,551 cases of no GDL and 93 cases of no PSV. “Transport operators must ensure employees have valid documents and qualifications,“ Muhammad Kifli emphasised. He warned of joint enforcement operations with other agencies under Act 333 of the Road Transport Act 1987 and Act 715 of APAD 2010. In a Selayang operation yesterday, JPJ caught a foreign lorry driver using a fake MyKad and driving licence. “Further checks confirmed the identity card, Competent Driving Licence (CDL), and Goods Vehicle Licence (GDL) were forged,“ he said. JPJ is investigating the syndicate behind the fake licences. Separately, an Indonesian lorry driver was arrested in Sungai Pusu for driving without documents and handed to KL Immigration Department. Past operations revealed multiple cases of foreign drivers using fake licences. - Bernama

Frankfurt sign Japan winger Doan in £17m deal until 2030

Frankfurt sign Japan winger Doan in £17m deal until 2030

EINTRACHT Frankfurt have secured the services of Japan international Ritsu Doan from Bundesliga rivals Freiburg. The 27-year-old winger has signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. Frankfurt reportedly paid 20 million euros (£17 million) to acquire the attacking midfielder. Doan leaves Freiburg after making 123 appearances for the club over several seasons. During his time at Freiburg, he contributed 26 goals and 23 assists for the German side. Last season proved particularly productive as he netted 10 times and provided eight assists in the Bundesliga. His performances helped Freiburg secure fifth place and Europa League qualification last term. The Japanese star becomes Frankfurt’s second major summer signing after Jonathan Burkardt. His arrival helps compensate for the departure of Hugo Ekitike to Premier League champions Liverpool. Frankfurt sporting director Markus Kroesche expressed his delight at the acquisition. “In the past few years Ritsu Doan has shown his high quality in the Bundesliga and brings a level of skill which will help us to achieve our goals,“ Kroesche said. At international level, Doan has earned 57 caps for Japan, scoring 10 goals for his country. Frankfurt will complete their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Fulham this weekend. The Bundesliga campaign begins for Frankfurt with a home fixture against Werder Bremen on August 23. - AFP

James Maddison out for most of Spurs season with ACL injury

James Maddison out for most of Spurs season with ACL injury

TOTTENHAM Hotspur midfielder James Maddison faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury. The England international ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during a pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul. Maddison collapsed in pain during the 1-1 draw without any contact from an opponent and was stretchered off. Spurs confirmed the 28-year-old will undergo surgery in the coming days before beginning rehabilitation. This setback comes after Maddison had just returned from a knee problem that kept him out at the end of last season. The injury severely impacts Tottenham’s plans under new manager Thomas Frank ahead of their Premier League opener. It also deals a blow to Maddison’s hopes of making England’s squad for next year’s World Cup under Thomas Tuchel. Tottenham begin their competitive season against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup on August 13. Their Premier League campaign kicks off three days later with a home fixture against Burnley. The club statement expressed support for Maddison during his recovery process. - AFP
