No More Compromise on Overloaded Lorries

Oct 27, 2025

The Transport Ministry has defended its tough stance against overloaded lorries. 

It adds that enforcement will continue despite complaints from industry groups regarding rising costs and project delays.  

The ministry explained that the country must prioritize public safety and road integrity. 

In fact, overloaded vehicles not only endanger other road users - but also cause severe damage to public roads and highways which cost millions in repairs every year.
