KL Road Transport Department (JPJ) director Hamidi Adam said the woman, a 40-year-old Singaporean woman, was arrested along Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Highway 2 at about 7pm.
According to him, the car’s Motor Vehicle License had expired on 13 Nov.
In addition, there was no insurance coverage for the car.
The woman had reportedly rented the car for a day.
Hamidi emphasised that the KL JPJ “always pays attention” and continuously monitors all complaints, while ensuring vehicles comply with rules and regulations.
The LKM, or “road tax”, is a permit issued by JPJ that allows vehicles to be used on public roads and must be renewed annually.
