Lorry drivers protest against RTD across several states

A group of lorry drivers today assembled at the intersection leading to the Pahang Road Transport Department (RTD) near Indera Mahkota, Kuantan, protesting what they alleged to be unfair enforcement action by the agency.

The group's spokesperson, Mohd Irwan Shah Brahim, 38, said lorry drivers in Pahang sent a memorandum to the RTD after the department stopped dozens of lorries from operating for allegedly being overloaded.
