Abstract

Law and enforcement of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (APAD) is a law that has been set by the Malaysian government to ensure the safety of road users. The offense of overloading depends on the behaviour of the transport company operator and the behaviour of the enforcement role among the road transport officers. However, there is no empirical evidence that shows the position and perception of the impact of legislation and enforcement of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (APAD) on the offense to be overloading. Therefore, this study aims to study the effectiveness of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 on overloading cases. This study focuses on the State of Perak, especially the Kuala Kangsar Enforcement Station, which is a weighing station that determines the weight of a commercial vehicle in determining whether it commits overload or not. Therefore, this study focuses on the understanding and delivery of standard operating procedures, role of enforcement, and tonto. The results showed that the effectiveness of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (LPTA) against overloading this case is related to the understanding and delivery of standard operating procedures for enforcement and enforcement role. However, tonto was found to be unrelated and influenced the effectiveness of the Land Public Transport Act (2010) on overloaded cases. This shows that, although the Land Public Transport Act 2010 is an instrument that influences the enforcement of overloading cases, if a large part of the enforcement personnel has a positive perception and understanding of the law then the performance or effectiveness of this act will definitely increase
