A 28-year-old content creator from China was caught driving a Lamborghini Aventador without a valid driver’s licence by Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers at a Hari Raya Aidilfitri (HRA) special operation on Jalan Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, on Tuesday night (8 April).
Earlier news reports said the Lamborghini was seized by JPJ, but Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur (WPKL) JPJ director Hamidi Adam later clarified that the Chinese national driving the luxury car was only given a fine. The passenger, who held a valid driver’s licence, was allowed to drive the car home.
According to Hamidi, the man was on his way to Damansara Heights after attending a fast-food restaurant launch ceremony in Kepong earlier that day.
