Kota Kinabalu: Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) Sabah will not hesitate to revoke or suspend the licences of errant commercial transport operators for overloading.

CVLB Sabah Chairman Datuk Chin Kim Hiung said this Friday when asked by media to comment on the statement made by Sabah Public Works Department (PWD) Director Ali Ahmad Hamid earlier on overloaded lorries among the causes of damaged roads in the State.

“We are aware and concur with the Sabah PWD Director. Overloading or carrying goods dangerously is an offence as per the Road Traffic Rules LN166/59 which can only be enforced by either the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) or Road Transport Department (RTD),” Chin said.
