So what this means is just 2 things for those driving deregistered cars:
1. If you humji since the spotlight is on this issue, lay low a while, just park the car in the carpark and don't move. Wait for it to die down and continue using. Or faster drive to JB and resell there. No loss to you since you already driven for free for the past X years you own the deregistered car. After you dispose, you are all clear since it cannot be traced back to you.
2, If you not humji cause LTA's enforcement is weak AF and the chance of getting caught is almost non-existent, continue using it. Cases already prove that LTA's enforcement is really by chance. Just drive properly, drive a non-flashy car, avoid ERP timings, and you will be fine.
Huat ah!
