During the PDRM-VTAREC Community Engagement, briefings were presented on vehicle theft and road traffic accidents. The first speaker, Puan Marlyana Mansur, Executive of VTAREC, shared safety measures to protect vehicles. She strongly emphasised the importance of staying vigilant and avoiding cloned cars or stolen vehicle spare parts, such as using items that can pose significant risks.

He explained that individuals found in possession of a stolen or suspected stolen vehicle could face legal action, including substantial fines and imprisonment, depending on the specific circumstances and relevant laws.
