In a statement today, Kedah JPJ said the woman, in her 30s and the car’s owner, admitted that the registration number was a gift from her husband.

It also said an enforcement team stopped her vehicle at 6:40pm yesterday at Kilometer 49.5 of the North-South Expressway, heading north.

Kedah JPJ also said that the team issued a JPJ (P) 22 notice and a vehicle inspection order under Section 61(1) of the Road Transport Act (APJ) 1987.
