The Department of Environment (DOE) would like to inform that Operation Gerak (Ops Gerak) continues to be intensified through Ops Gerak Lembah Klang which was held today. Ops Gerak is one of the DOE’s initiatives that aims to enhance the enforcement and inspection of motor vehicles to ensure that these vehicles comply with the set smoke and pollutant emission standards.
This operation was implemented throughout Malaysia after being launched by YB Dato ‘Sri Tuan Ibrahim Bin Tuan Man, Minister of Environment and Water on 9 July 2020. It follows the opening of more economic sectors and the movement of vehicles across the state during the implementation period of the Rehabilitation Movement Control Order (PKPP ). This operation aims to ensure that pollution from motor vehicles is curbed so that the air remains clean after the PKPP period and vehicle smoke does not contribute to the local haze problem, especially in large cities.
